GVHBA’s 20th Annual Parade of Renovated Homes

GREATER VANCOUVER — The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is inviting the public to tour 11 professionally renovated homes located across Metro Vancouver on Sunday, June 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The 20th annual Parade of Renovated Homes, produced by the GVHBA Renovation Council and sponsored by FortisBC, offers a unique opportunity for people to see the amazing home transformations that are possible when you work with a professional contractor.
The homes on the Parade showcase leading-edge design, advanced construction techniques and products, and energy-saving features, and include a Tuscan-inspired transformation, a beautiful condominium renovation with a 360-degree city view, a luxurious townhome remodel, a gorgeous interior and exterior upgrade of a classic ’60s home, and a contemporary whole-house makeover.
“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship. Project values range widely, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own renovations,” said GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit, noting that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend $3.8 billion sprucing up their homes this year.
Admission is by passport, available at each home for $10 per person. Children 17 and under are free. Passports can be purchased at any home, and then used for entry to the remaining homes. 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.
