Custom Home Renovation
Private Client
Discover a beautifully renovated 1920s East Vancouver home, where traditional design meets contemporary elegance. This thoughtfully updated residence preserves the character of its original structure while introducing modern touches that enhance functionality and comfort. A highlight of the renovation is the striking new window backsplash, which brings in an abundance of natural light to the kitchen, creating a bright and airy cooking space. Adjacent to this area is a cozy breakfast nook that’s perfect for morning coffee, family gatherings, or intimate meals, capturing the home’s warm, inviting feel.
The addition of a large nano window further transforms the living space, flooding it with sunlight and seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor areas. The traditional contemporary design balances modern amenities with timeless style, incorporating clean lines and high-quality finishes that maintain the home’s classic charm. Every detail, from updated cabinetry to the harmonious color palette, reflects a commitment to quality and design. This renovation gives the 1920s home a fresh lease on life, blending historical character with the comforts of modern-day living for a timeless East Vancouver sanctuary.

We recently renovated our 1961 Vancouver Special to a bright, modern craftsman home with all the latest amenities and comforts after employing MDM Harp Contracting. It was a big undertaking to transform our living space into a place that we are pleased to show to all our friends.
We are extremely impressed with MDM Harp Contracting’s workmanship, attention to detail, integrity and highly recommend them for any renovation. Evan has excellent communication skills with everyone involved during the project: owners, designers, sub trades and suppliers. He is friendly and easy to talk to while resolving any design issues. He managed to maintain the original budget of the project with no unexpected surprises and skillfully managed the sub trades to coordinate their time onsite when necessary. Evan ensures everything is exactly correct and to our satisfaction before considering it completed.
We are so happy with our newly renovated space and all its comforts. We are very grateful and fortunate to have chosen MDM Harp Contracting and highly recommend them for your project.
Thank you for a lovely job well done
Evan Gallagher was our contractor for our kitchen renovation last summer, which involved completely gutting the old kitchen and installing new everything. We had never heard of a kitchen reno that went ‘according to plan’ - there were always delays, cost overruns, disagreements with the trades, etc. Now we can say we know of at least one!
Our renovation went exactly as Evan predicted it would, and within budget. Evan was always pleasant, professional and punctual. He knew exactly what he was doing and wrangled the trades, making sure they did what they were supposed to do, when they were supposed to do it. When one contractor was unable to delivery our counter-top on time, Evan found someone who could. And Evan is a skilled worker, able to perform some of the work himself and keep costs in line.
We’re thrilled with the end product and very happy we chose Evan Gallagher as our contractor. We plan to use him for our up-coming bathroom renovation.
Thank you for a lovely job well done!
I have worked with Evan Gallagher on both the design and construction of condo & single-family house renovation projects. Evan has extensive technical and practical knowledge of architectural design and the BC Buildlng Code. He has been invaluable in preparing architectural permit drawings and navigating through the permit application process.
As a general contractor, Evan's approach to building is solutions-oriented and he has a keen eye for detail and respect for the design intent. Evan works with top trades and the quality of workmanship is excellent. I would highly recommend Evan for both architectural consulting and general contracting.
