Looking to show a special woman in your life how much you care? Consider contacting Sasen Renovations to assist with your Mother’s Day Vancouver Renovations. If you are already considering making some changes to your home, to increase its value and to create the dream home you have been imagining, now is the time to do it. Understandably, a home renovation project isn’t as simple as picking up flowers and a card, but for us, this is what we do. We know how to make the process manageable and comprehensive, assisting with the design phase, applying our knowledge and experience during the permitting phase and then completing the construction itself. Heck, we even won a Georgie Award for it! During the entire renovation process, you, the home-owner, will be well informed. We are accessible, providing candid information that will help you make the best decisions for your renovation needs and most of all, renovation budget. It all starts with the first consultation, where we will meet with you, no matter what stage of the process you are at, for a free consultation. This is where the relationship begins. Our previous clients will tell you, we honour this relationship, understanding how valuable it is to the success of the renovation project. The consultation is the fun part; you share your dreams with us and we tell you how we can make it happen. This stage is also crucial because it allows us to help you focus your ideas and work within your budget. It’s important to be wary of contractors who are not diligent enough at the initial stage in forming clear deliverables for a reasonable cost. This is often a sign that there will be a lot of hidden costs that build up over the phases of the renovation project. Whether the Mother’s Day dream is a bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, outdoor patio or a major change to the structure and finishes, we are prepared for it all. Both modern aesthetics and traditional design, we specialize in home renovations of all styles, all crafted with quality. If you are looking for Vancouver renovations or you live in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster or anywhere in the Vancouver area, please fill out the form with your renovation requests and contact information. We look forward to helping you give the gift of a dream home and look forward to meeting you!  

Sasen Renovations is kicking off 2014 with the exciting news of becoming a Residential Renovation Georgie Award Winner at the awards ceremony for 2013 Georgie Awards. We took home the award for the Best Residential Renovation under $300,000. We turned a house into a home, and it took dedication and finesse. Even during demolition, this project required consideration and attention to detail. A New Westminster renovation and a heritage renovation at that, we had to keep in mind the delicate and beautiful parts of the home that were being preserved. This project included both an interior renovation portion and exterior New Westminster renovation portions. The interior allowed Sasen to demonstrate our experience with bathroom remodelling, kitchen renovations and the ability to focus of the fine interior finishes while preserving the heritage portions of the home. We created a continuity of design and style, assisting the client in making design decisions that would blend together new and aged portions of the heritage home. The exterior renovation really embellished the bones of the existing structure, but this part allowed for more than just esthetic quality. Replacing the windows meant the home owners can live in greater comfort and be more energy efficient. The sooner an older home takes on a energy effective renovation, the longer the home owners can enjoy the benefits of a greener home. The 2013 Georgie Award ceremony was wonderfully done. It was such an honour to be surrounded by so many of the talented professionals working in Vancouver renovations and Vancouver home building. We enjoyed the evening as much as we enjoyed bringing home the award and recognition for our entire team’s hard work. We couldn’t have done it with out the talented Sasen Renovations team and those who partnered with us to make this project a success. We are confident the 2013 Georgie Awards will be the first of many awards to come! To visit the Georgie site, follow the link below: http://www.georgieawards.ca/winners/view.aspx?id=2682

Sasen Renovations has become a Georgie Award finalist! Sasen has been repeatedly producing high standards of craftsmanship and our hard work is soon to pay off! Two of our recent projects have now been contended as finalists in two separate categories that will hopefully become award winning projects. The renovations include both interior renovations and an exterior renovation portion. Becoming a Georgie Award finalist is our dream becoming a reality. It seems dreams come full circle. We know exactly how our clients feel when we bring their dream homes into reality. As we have grown and developed Sasen Renovations into the balanced, consistent and reputable renovation company it is now, we are grateful to see more and more happy clients enjoying their dream home. We have worked side by side with them to build these dream homes and our clients to come will know how hard we work to make our renovation projects and our company something to be exceptionally proud of. Tune in for the upcoming results of the Georgie Awards. Below is one of our New West Renovations that is a contender for the Best Residential Renovation under 300k. Before….           After…             This was only the exterior! This renovation is a heritage renovation and as such, required a lot of considerations. The homeowners wanted to turn their home into something that would be true to its character while modernizing and making the required adjustments. In doing so, of course, we focused on the practical aspects bringing it up to code, while refining the esthetic aspects. The exterior design elements flowed into the inside renovation, allowing the home to maintain continuity between both, while bridging the divide between modern and heritage.  

This is an example of how Sasen stands behind our level of Integrity, Excellence and Craftsmanship… We will do it until it is right! In Burnaby, we are servicing our warranty with an existing client’s outdoor patio!  After some time, both the client and Sasen agree that the finishing was not up to our standards so here we are, making it right! Have you experienced this high level of customer service in your past general contractor experiences?                               After some tears and hard work, we were able to end up with a beautiful product! Of course, we had to also wait for our window of beautiful weather.     It was all well worth it!! We are extremely excited to pass this beautiful patio back to our extremely satisfied clients in a couple weeks!  

Do you find yourself in the situation where you know what you want, but you can’t quite communicate it?! We have found that it is easiest for all parties involved if you can gather as many pictures of what you are envisioning. We know it can be tough to communicate or describe the details of the features that you are looking to build without knowing the technical lingo to describe it. Describing features with descriptions like “thingy” or  “like rounded ridges” or “handles that you can turn” may generalize the idea, but to be sure that you are building or buying what you want, pictures speak a thousand words, even the technical words! Check us out on Houzz.com. This site is useful in that you can browse through thousands of pictures in their database by room categories or style or however you set the search. Even more useful is the ideabook function, where you can save these pictures and share with your husband and us, your general contractor! How do you like Houzz.com? Was it useful?

We are excited about working with our clients on finishing the renos on their heritage home.   This house has so much history and was so excited to discover behind their stucco was amazing hand detailed craftsmanship.   Can’t wait to bring it back to it’s original glory.   Can you believe that this was all underneath the stucco?!
