Interior Renovations in Richmond

From Steveston heritage-area homes to City Centre high-rises, Old To New delivers interior renovations across Richmond. We remove load-bearing walls with engineered support, rebuild dated layouts into open family spaces, and craft custom trim, wainscoting and built-ins that finish a home properly. We are a fully insured general contractor experienced with City of Richmond permits and strata approvals, serving homeowners in Broadmoor, Seafair, Hamilton and beyond. Quotes are always free.

Reworking Richmond floor plans for the way families live now

Plenty of Richmond houses in Broadmoor and Seafair still carry their original layouts: a formal living room at the front, a separate kitchen at the back, and hallways that eat up floor area. We reconfigure these plans so the kitchen becomes the centre of the home, often by removing one or two walls and rebalancing the structure with engineered beams. Multigenerational households are common in Richmond, and we frequently reshape main floors to add a second sitting area or a bedroom with easy access for grandparents. Every reconfiguration starts with a measured plan so you can see the new layout before demolition begins.

Interior renovations in Richmond condos and townhomes

Richmond's City Centre and Hamilton neighbourhoods are full of strata properties, and interior work there runs differently than in a detached house. We prepare the renovation package your strata requires, including insurance certificates and a clear scope, then sequence the work around building rules for noise and elevator access. Inside the unit, popular projects include opening a closed kitchen to the living area where the structure allows, replacing worn flooring throughout, and building storage into bedrooms and dens that lack it. We keep common areas protected and neighbours informed, which keeps councils happy and projects moving.

Built to handle Richmond's damp, low-lying conditions

Richmond sits low and stays humid for much of the year, and interior renovations here should account for that. When we open walls we check for moisture staining and address ventilation shortfalls before closing anything up, adding or upgrading exhaust fans where bathrooms and laundry areas need them. We select materials with the local climate in mind, including moisture-tolerant underlay and paint systems suited to damp coastal air. In Steveston and other older pockets, this inspection step matters even more, since decades of settlement and humidity can hide issues behind original finishes. Catching them mid-renovation is far cheaper than discovering them later.

Interior Renovations Questions in Richmond

Do you handle strata approval for interior renovations in Richmond condos?
Yes. We prepare the scope of work, proof of insurance and trade information your strata council needs, and we follow the building's renovation rules from start to finish. Most City Centre and Hamilton buildings have a standard alteration process we know well.
Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and living room in my Broadmoor home?
In most cases yes. We first confirm whether the wall is structural, and if it is, a structural engineer designs the beam that replaces it. We then obtain the City of Richmond permit and complete the work with proper inspections.
Should I worry about moisture when renovating an older Steveston house?
It is worth checking, and a renovation is the ideal time. With walls open we can spot past leaks, upgrade ventilation and correct anything the original construction missed. Most homes need only minor corrections.
How long does a full main-floor renovation take in Richmond?
A typical main-floor makeover runs several weeks to a few months depending on structural work and finishes. Permit timing with the City of Richmond adds lead time up front, which we build into the schedule you receive with your free quote.
