FAQ
OFFERING ALL THE INSIGHTS YOU NEED
How long does a full home renovation take?
The timeline for a full home renovation depends on the scope of work and the complexity of the project. Typically, renovations can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Factors that influence the timeline include structural modifications, permitting approvals, material availability, and weather conditions. At Bigfoot Contracting, we provide a detailed project timeline and keep you updated throughout the process.
Do I need a permit for a home renovation or addition?
Yes, in most cases, permits are required for home renovations and additions, especially for structural changes, electrical work, and plumbing modifications. At Bigfoot Contracting, we handle the entire permitting process to ensure compliance with local regulations, saving you time and hassle.
What is covered under the 2-5-10 Home Warranty?
The 2-5-10 Home Warranty in British Columbia covers different aspects of your home. It includes a 2-year labor and materials warranty, a 5-year building envelope warranty (protection against water ingress), and a 10-year structural warranty. This warranty ensures your home is built to last and remains protected even if you sell the property during the warranty period.

Can I live in my home during the renovation?
It depends on the scope of the renovation. Minor updates may allow you to stay in your home, but extensive renovations may require you to temporarily relocate for safety and efficiency reasons. We will discuss this with you during the planning phase to minimize disruptions to your daily life.
