There is no job that you can't trust Chrysalis Construction to do an excellent job on! We certainly put that to the test over the last couple years. My husband and I found them on Houzz when we wanted to do a home renovation. It started with extending our 100 yr old house, and rebuilding our detached garage with a second floor rec room. The owner Edgar Zaldivar impressed us from the first meeting. He assisted us on working with the architect, the city planners, and then continued to manage all the trades. At times there were issues with trades that he would deal with, and we would hardly even know. Every trade he hired impressed us with their talent and skill. Our home renovation became about as complicated as it could. The scope of the job changed several times, which was not a surprise with an old house. By our choice, the job actually tripled over time. We were so impressed with how everything was going, and the excellent workmanship, that we decided to keep going with our future renovation plans. Edgar was very adaptable to our many changes, and handled any obstacles as well as you could expect. This included raising our roof, wrapping our house, a new kitchen, 4 new bathrooms, and everything else right to the landscaping at the end. They also worked with us so we could continue living there for a lot of it, and impressed us with how they left things at the end of each day. Chrysalis kept a very detailed spreadsheet of all the finances and future budgeting. Edgar remained attentive and dedicated to the job throughout the whole duration, and proved to be knowledgeable in every aspect of the job. He is very reliable, professional, an excellent communicator, and always took the time to explain all options available. We highly recommend Edgar Zaldivar from Chrysalis Construction for any house project! (before and after pics of the back attached) More...

I have met Edgar Zaldivar and Iona Quintero during the time, I am sourcing out a renovator who I can trust in doing fixing/renovating my 100 year old house. Very professional start of day 1 up to the time the project is completed. I source out 3 but I ended with them after careful review of their presentation and work. Highly recommended, you got your money's worth..anybody who is looking, i wont hesitate to recommend them. Nice job and modern looking, materials and expenses where carefully presented and reviewed. Thank you sooo much! More...

Kitchen Installation & Remodelling
Chrysalis did an amazing job refurbishing our basement after a serious sewage problem. All the tradesmen were professional and worked in a really timely fashion. They had to work over last winter’s months (coldest winter in a long time). Our home is older and as such there were several ‘surprises’ encountered, all handled beautifully. Edgar met with us many times to go over our requests and to clarify. James, the project manager was always available and pointed out any issues needing consideration. I would highly recommend Chrysalis and will be calling them in the fall for further projects. Well done More...

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Chrysalis Construction on a complete home renovation and a new build project. Can’t say enough how great Edgar and his team were to work with. There was always an open line of communication, Edgar and his team were a pleasure to be around and always polite and welcoming to our employees and they did everything in their power to allow us to execute our section of the project to the best of our ability. Can’t say enough good things about Edgar and the team at Chrysalis Construction and we look forward to collaborating again on more projects in the future! More...

Had a great experience with Chrysalis. They redid our washroom and did a great job. The job took a little longer than originally anticipated, but the outcome was more than worth it. Everyone who worked on our washroom was great and friendly, especially Eric. Very happy with our washroom now! More...

Considering this was done at the peak of CoVid shutdown, ultimately we are happy with the results and are very much enjoying our new kitchen

Edgar put everything in place to satisfy our needs. We are verry happy with the end result for our very big project: basement renovations, new laundry room upstairs and stand up shower. Construction during Covid was challenging for all involved but Edgar, owner, and his tean made it happen and we are very happy. We recommend Chrysalis Construction. More...

How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Converting a garage into a living space is quite feasible in Canada and can be a cost-effective way to increase your home’s usable space. Here are some key points to consider:
Benefits of Garage Conversion
Increased Living Space: You can create an extra bedroom, home office, playroom, or even a rental unit.
Cost-Effective: Compared to building an extension, converting a garage is generally more affordable. A well-executed conversion can increase the overall value of your property.
Considerations
Permits and Regulations: You’ll need to check local zoning laws and obtain the necessary permits.
Insulation and Heating: Proper insulation and heating are crucial to make the space comfortable year-round.
Structural Integrity: Ensure the garage is in good condition and can support the conversion.
Parking: Consider the impact on parking, as converting the garage will eliminate its use for vehicle storage.
Costs
The cost of converting a garage in Canada can range from CAD 20,400 to CAD 40,800, depending on the size and scope of the project. Give us a call for a no-cost consultation.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
Converting a garage into a living space involves several key stages. Here’s a breakdown of the typical process:
1. Planning and Design
Initial Assessment: Evaluate the existing structure to ensure it’s suitable for conversion. This may involve consulting with a structural engineer.
Design: Create a detailed plan for the new space, considering layout, functionality, and aesthetics.
Permits and Approvals: Obtain necessary permits and ensure compliance with local building regulations.
2. Preparation
Clear Out the Garage: Remove all items and clean the space thoroughly.
Structural Modifications: Reinforce foundations if needed and make any necessary structural changes.
3. Insulation and Utilities
Insulation: Install insulation in walls, floors, and the roof to ensure the space is energy-efficient and comfortable.
Utilities: Add or upgrade electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems as required.
4. Construction
Framing and Drywall: Frame the interior walls and install drywall.
Windows and Doors: Install new windows and doors to provide natural light and access.
Flooring: Choose and install appropriate flooring materials.
5. Finishing Touches
Painting and Decorating: Paint the walls and add any decorative elements.
Fixtures and Fittings: Install fixtures such as lighting, cabinetry, and other built-in features.
Final Inspection: Have the space inspected to ensure it meets all building codes and regulations.
6. Furnishing and Occupying
Furnishing: Move in furniture and set up the space according to its intended use.
Occupying: Start using your newly converted space!
