Parade of Renovated Homes 2011

Thank you for touring the homes! 

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) Renovation Council invited the public to tour 12 professionally renovated homes in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Vancouver and West Vancouver on Sunday, June 12.

The 18th annual Parade of Renovated Homes, presented by GVHBA and FortisBC, showcased leading-edge design, advanced construction techniques and products, and energy-saving features.

"FortisBC was extremely excited to be the first-ever presenting sponsor of the Parade of Renovated Homes. We look forward to combining the strengths of GVHBA and FortisBC to help the renovation industry in the Lower Mainland achieve innovative and successful results when it comes to their projects and energy requirements," said Dan Noel, FortisBC regional energy solutions manager.

Renovations on display included the transformation of a 1950s bungalow, restoration of a 1920s Queens Park heritage home, updating of a rancher to address energy efficiency, makeover of a 1918 Craftsman house, re-construction of a 1929-era Kerrisdale home, the addition of modern living space to a Shaughnessy home, and conversion of a tired, old house into a cozy, contemporary family home.

GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson said Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend $4.4 billion sprucing up their homes this year, and this popular one-day event offered exceptional sample renovations.

“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, were on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship.  Project values ranged from $120,000 to more than $1 million, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they could incorporate into their own renovations,” said Simpson.

Admission was by passport. Part proceeds from passport sales will help fund the purchase of tools, building materials and safety gear for a carpentry training program offered by Guildford Park and Frank Hurt secondary schools in Surrey.
