Every question
homeowners ask.

Huntley is a Chilliwack-based renovation and construction contractor serving the Fraser Valley. We renovate kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole homes. We build legal secondary suites, coach houses, and home additions. We handle custom home builds and commercial tenant improvements. Our electrical, plumbing, framing, and seamless gutter divisions are all in-house, not subcontracted.

Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley. We work daily across all 11 Chilliwack neighbourhoods (Sardis, Vedder Crossing, Promontory, Garrison Crossing, Yarrow, Greendale, Rosedale, Downtown Chilliwack, Fairfield Island, Little Mountain, Cultus Lake), plus Abbotsford, Mission, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, Hope, and select Langley projects.

Huntley started in 2020 as an electrical company and expanded into a full general contractor. Same family ownership, same Chilliwack base. We are five-star Google rated.

Yes. Huntley holds a BC business licence, WorkSafeBC coverage, full general liability insurance, BC Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC), and a BC plumbing contractor licence. Our electricians and plumbers are Red Seal certified. We can produce all licence documentation at the site visit.

Use the form at /book-consultation. A real person on our team replies within one business day to set up an in-person site visit. The site visit is where we walk the space, talk through your scope, and prepare a line-item quote.

Cosmetic bathroom: 2 to 4 weeks. Mid-range kitchen: 5 to 8 weeks. Full kitchen reconfiguration: 8 to 14 weeks. Finished basement: 6 to 12 weeks. Legal secondary suite: 10 to 16 weeks. Whole-home: 3 to 12 months. Add 8 to 12 weeks of permit processing on the front end. We commit to a schedule in writing and hold to it because our key trades are Huntley employees, not subcontractors.

Usually yes. We work in occupied homes every week using zip-wall dust containment, daily site cleanup, and phased scheduling that preserves a working kitchen and bathroom where possible. Full down-to-studs whole-home work sometimes requires you to move out for portions of the project. We tell you honestly at the site visit.

Lead times move with the season. Typically 6 to 10 weeks out for a booked start on kitchen or bathroom work. Whole-home and addition projects need longer lead time for design and permits. We give you an honest start window at the site visit and tell you straight if our schedule cannot fit your deadline.

Three structural differences. First, our Red Seal electricians and Red Seal plumbers are Huntley employees rather than subcontractors, which removes the main coordination failure point on renovations. Second, we publish line-item quotes with no vague allowances, so the number you sign is the number that finishes the project. Third, every project is backed by our 12-month Huntley Workmanship Commitment covering every trade that worked on the home.

If anything we installed or built is not right within 12 months of project completion, we come back and fix it. No cost, no argument. That covers every trade: framing, electrical, plumbing, tile, cabinetry, finishing. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures and materials run on top of it.

BC 2-5-10 New Home Warranty applies to new home construction (custom homes and substantial reconstructions). It covers 2 years on labour and materials, 5 years on the building envelope, and 10 years on structural defects. It is provincially mandated and backed by insurance. Renovations are not covered by 2-5-10; they are covered by our own 12-month workmanship commitment.

Both. If you are already working with an interior designer or architect, we work alongside them as your execution partner. If you are starting from scratch, we can recommend designers we have worked with across the Fraser Valley. We do not force a single in-house designer or design-build process unless that is genuinely what you want.
