General Contractor in White Rock

General Contractor in White Rock

Old To New provides full general contracting in White Rock, managing renovations from first drawing to final walkthrough. We coordinate permits, trades, materials, and schedule for houses in the uptown blocks off Johnston Road, cottages near the waterfront, and condos with strata requirements. Whether it is one room or a whole-home transformation, you deal with one insured contractor and one point of contact. We are based in Fleetwood, Surrey, roughly half an hour from White Rock, and quotes are free.

One point of contact from permit to paint

A renovation involves a dozen moving parts, designers, engineers, plumbers, electricians, tile setters, inspectors, and in White Rock often a strata council as well. Our job as your general contractor is to make all of that one phone number. We build the schedule, book and supervise every trade, order materials so they arrive before they are needed, and keep you updated as the work progresses. When something unexpected turns up behind a wall, and in older White Rock homes it sometimes does, we bring you options and prices rather than surprises on the invoice.

Experience with White Rock's mix of cottages, houses, and condos

Few cities pack as much housing variety into a couple of square kilometres as White Rock. In one week we can be reinforcing the floor of a 1940s beach cottage near East Beach, modernizing a mid-century rancher uptown, and renovating a strata condo with ocean views over Marine Drive. Each type needs different handling. Older cottages hide dated wiring and framing quirks. Mid-century houses reward opening up but need structural care. Condos demand strata paperwork, insurance certificates, and tidy, scheduled work. We have managed all three and plan each project around what the building actually is.

Permits and inspections with the City of White Rock

White Rock is its own municipality with its own building department, separate from Surrey next door, and structural, plumbing, and electrical work generally requires permits and inspections through the City of White Rock. As your general contractor we prepare the applications, submit the drawings, book the inspections, and make sure the work is closed out properly so nothing surprises you when you sell or insure the home. If your project is a few blocks over the line in South Surrey, in Ocean Park, Crescent Beach, or Grandview Heights, we run the same process through the City of Surrey instead. Either way, the paperwork is our problem, not yours.

General Contracting Questions in White Rock

Do you take on whole-home renovations of older White Rock beach cottages?
Yes, and we enjoy them. We budget for the realities of older coastal construction, dated wiring, non-standard framing, and moisture wear, and we bring structural engineering in early when a cottage is being substantially rebuilt.
We live in a strata building on Marine Drive. Can you manage the whole approval and renovation process?
We can. We prepare the alteration request for your strata council, supply the insurance documents buildings require, and manage trades within the building's work-hour rules from start to finish.
How quickly can you get to a project in White Rock from your Surrey office?
Our Fleetwood base is roughly half an hour from White Rock, so site visits, quotes, and day-to-day supervision are easy. Many of our crews are already working in South Surrey neighbourhoods like Grandview Heights on any given week.
Who pulls the permits for a renovation in White Rock, you or the homeowner?
We do. As the general contractor we prepare and submit permit applications to the City of White Rock, coordinate any required drawings, and schedule the inspections so the project stays compliant and on track.
