This year the annual Parade of Renovated Homes, presented by the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA), will showcase 11 exquisitely renovated homes on Sunday, May 31 from 10am to 4pm.
The 2015 parade offers a variety of dream renovations across Metro Vancouver, including a sumptuous master bedroom with a fireplace column in the centre, a 1911 heritage home that was lifted to create a fully functional basement and a home redesigned for empty-nesters celebrating their new lease on life – complete with a secret bar!
To whet your appetite for this amazing tour, see our photo gallery above for a sneak peek at each of the homes that will be on display.
What’s more, the GVHBA RenoMark renovators who transformed these homes will be on site to offer expert advice and showcase their craftsmanship.
“Whether your dreams include a complete home renovation or a single room redesign, it is important to work with a renovator you can trust,” said Bob de Wit, CEO of GVHBA. “Working with a RenoMark professional helps the homeowner turn the dream into reality with informed decisions, confidence and peace of mind. Bring the family and join the parade!”
Admission to the homes is by passport, available at each home for $10 per person (children 17 and under are free). Passports can be purchased on the door at any home, and then used for entry to the remaining homes. A portion of the 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.
There’s a lot to cover in six hours, so make sure to plan your personal parade before heading out. Go to www.gvhba.org for map and locations, before-and-after pictures and renovator details.
