Why homeowners in Renovation East Vancouver choose us
East Vancouver — Commercial Drive, Hastings-Sunrise, Renfrew-Collingwood, Strathcona, Kensington-Cedar Cottage, Killarney — is where families are buying, holding, and renovating long-term. Laniworks specialises in turning tired 1910–1950 East Van houses into bright, energy-efficient family homes with legal suites that help carry the mortgage.
The classic East Van lot is 33 feet wide with a deep back yard, a basement that wants to be a suite, and an unfinished attic that wants to be a primary bedroom. We work this typology every day — we know the City of Vancouver's secondary-suite, laneway, and character-retention rules inside and out.
The kind of work we do in Renovation East Vancouver
Most East Vancouver projects involve full re-plumbing and re-wiring, opening up the front of the house into a great room, adding a laneway home or coach house, building a basement suite to current Vancouver Building By-law standards, and upgrading single-pane windows with energy-efficient replacements that qualify for CleanBC and BC Hydro rebates.
We're proud of our long-standing client relationships in East Van — many of our projects are referrals from neighbours one block over. Quiet crews, clean sites, and respect for the people living next door are non-negotiable on every job.
