Vancouver Heritage Home Gets a Facelift

From BCRenonation.caBy Maggie CallowayreVISION Custom Home Renovations goes to work in an old house with character.This was a full-on renovation by Todd Senft of reVISION Custom Home Renovations.

The project was very unique in that two intertwined projects were happening at the same time," Senft says. "My company was contracted to do the renovations and at the same time Lighthouse Sustainability was contracted by Metro Vancouver to do an audit of everything that came out of the house that was recycled or repurposed. Because this was a significant renovation it was a prime project for them to look at everything during deconstruct, which is a term they use instead of demolition.
