Full bathroom renovation (40 sqft condo bathroom)
How much does it cost to fully renovate a bathroom in Vancouver?

A full bathroom renovation in a Vancouver condo built in or after 1990, where the homeowner chose to have all major finishes contractor-supplied. The 40 sqft bathroom is getting a new tub with a custom tiled surround, new vanity with cultured marble countertop, LVP flooring, new toilet, glass shower door, updated lighting, and fresh paint — all coordinated by a general contractor. The estimate came in at $15,838, with a realistic range of $12,600 to $19,100.

Questions homeowners ask first

Questions about general contracting in Vancouver

Questions about general contracting in Vancouver

Quick answers to the things homeowners ask before starting.

What does a general contractor do in Vancouver?

A GC manages the entire renovation project — coordinating trades (plumbers, electricians, carpenters), pulling permits, scheduling inspections, managing the budget, and ensuring quality. RenoFiz helps you scope the project and connect with a GC.

When do I need a general contractor vs hiring trades directly?

For projects involving multiple trades (kitchen reno, bathroom, basement finishing), a GC is strongly recommended. For single-trade work like a simple plumbing repair, hiring a trade directly can save money. RenoFiz can help you decide.

How much does a general contractor cost in Vancouver?

GCs typically charge 10-20% of the total project cost as their fee, or $80-$150/hour for project management. On a $50,000 renovation, that's $5,000-$10,000. The value is in coordination, scheduling, problem-solving, and quality assurance.

Are general contractors licensed in Vancouver?

There's no general provincial license for renovation contractors in BC — BC Housing's residential-builder license applies to new-home construction, not renovations, and Consumer Protection BC doesn't license contractors either. What matters is valid liability insurance, WorkSafeBC coverage, and the right trade credentials for regulated work: Technical Safety BC licensing for electrical and gas work, and SkilledTradesBC certification for licensed plumbers, plus any required municipal permits. RenoFiz vets contractors on these before connecting you.
