As a full-service general contracting company, Ali's Old To New handles projects of every size and scope. From hanging a door to managing a complete home build, we bring the same professionalism and attention to detail to every job. Our handyman services are ideal for homeowners who need reliable help with smaller repairs and maintenance tasks.
Project Management Excellence
For larger projects, our experienced project managers coordinate all trades, manage timelines, and maintain quality control at every stage. We handle permits, inspections, material procurement, and subcontractor management so you can focus on what matters most.
One Contractor, Every Trade, One Point of Contact
The value of a general contractor is that you hire one company and we handle everyone else. Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, tilesetters, painters, and inspectors are all scheduled, supervised, and answerable to us, not to you. You get one contract, one schedule, one invoice, and one person to call with questions. That coordination is what keeps a multi-trade renovation from turning into a series of finger-pointing delays, and it is why homeowners across Surrey, Burnaby, and Greater Vancouver bring us projects of every size.
How We Keep Your Project On Time and On Budget
Before any work starts you get a written, itemized quote and a schedule with clear milestones. We order long-lead materials early so the project does not stall waiting on cabinets or windows. During the build you get regular updates and one point of contact, and we flag any change that affects cost before we act on it, never after. We are fully insured, and we do not ask for the final payment until you have walked the finished project with us and everything on your list is done.
The Range of Projects We Take On
General contracting covers a wide range, and we work across all of it. On the smaller end, our handyman services handle drywall repairs, door and window installation, deck and fence work, and the odd jobs that are hard to find a reliable trade for. In the middle sit the renovations most homeowners call us for, including kitchens, bathrooms, basement suites, flooring, and interior makeovers. On the larger end we manage home additions, structural changes, and full home renovations that pull together every trade. Because we handle the full range, you are not left coordinating a separate carpenter, electrician, plumber, and tilesetter. You hire one company and we bring the right people at the right time.
What Sets Our General Contracting Apart
The difference is in how we run a project, not just the work itself. You get a clear written scope and itemized quote before anything starts, so there are no vague allowances or surprise change orders. You get one point of contact who actually answers the phone, regular updates, and honest advice when a tradeoff will save you money without cutting a corner that matters. We are fully insured, we pull the permits your project needs, and we stand behind our work after the final invoice. For homeowners and businesses across Surrey, Burnaby, and Greater Vancouver, that combination of clear communication and quality craftsmanship is what turns a one-time renovation into a long-term relationship.
Renovating Older Homes Across Greater Vancouver
Much of the housing stock across Surrey, Burnaby, and the wider Lower Mainland was built decades ago, and renovating an older home takes a contractor who knows what tends to hide behind the walls. Dated electrical panels, plumbing that is no longer to code, undersized insulation, and moisture or wood rot from our wet coastal climate are common, and they often only surface once demolition begins. As a full-service general contractor, we plan for these realities, build a sensible contingency into your budget, and fix what we find rather than papering over it. We also respect the character of an older home, keeping the details worth keeping while bringing the systems, layout, and finishes up to how you live today. It is the difference between a renovation that looks good on day one and one that still performs years later.
