Pre-Purchase Estimates in Burnaby, New Westminster, and Coquitlam
Confident offers. Smarter negotiations. Fewer surprises.
Thinking of purchasing your dream home?
Do you have a plan in place to tackle what your home inspection found?
You’ve found the one, but your inspection has flagged issues and you’re not sure what matters most or what it’ll cost. Coastal Glades Renovations gives you a complimentary pre-purchase estimate: a prioritized list of what needs fixing, with cost ranges, after a thorough walkthrough. Bring it to the negotiating table to use in your favour.
Imagine being able to knock $50,000 off the price because you’ve come prepared? That’s good negotiating.
What is a homebuyer's pre-purchase estimate?
Our pre-purchase estimate is a prioritized list of action items, along with estimated costs, based on a home walkthrough in combination with a formal home inspection. Each segment is flagged on importance and the level of concern.
High Priority
Items that need to be addressed ASAP. These are generally items that are health and safety hazard. This may include: structural damage, water damage, non-functional appliances, outdated electrical panels, and more.
Medium Priority
Items that should be addressed, but aren’t harmful in the short term. This may include: slow drains, old windows, aging cabinetry, lacking insulation, damaged siding (that isn’t affecting waterproofing!), insufficient electrical outlets.
Low Priority
Items that are primarily cosmetic. Things such as repainting, updated plumbing and electrical fitures, and increasing curb appeal. Think of these as “wants” instead of “needs.”

Complete a licensed home inspection
You need a home inspection completed not only for this estimate, but for your own peace of mind. Cover all the bases. We always recommend getting your own, and not relying on one that the seller has arranged.

Arrange your walk-through
You, our team, and your realtor spend an hour walking through the home. We’ll make note of issues whether critical or purely cosmetic. This is where we’ll also refer to your home inspection report, so it’s imperative that this is completed.
We prepare your report
& you'll get it within 48 hours
The report will include a breakdown of each aspect of the home (plumbing, electrical, flooring, millwork etc) and show a list of priority fixes and estimated cost ranges to repair. Flagging by importance will allow you to prepare for potential renovations that are both needed, and wanted.

Why Work With Us on Your Home Renovation?
Experience, Lifetime Quality, Design Driven, and a Personal Touch (that's us).
Finding the right renovation contractor in Burnaby, New Westminster, or Coquitlam is a big decision. We get it! Here’s how we make it easier:
- Proven Experience: We’ve been around the block—literally! Years of renovation experience means we know how to turn “in progress” into “finally, this feels like home.” A little heart, a little flair, and the know-how to get it right the first time.
- Top-Quality Workmanship: We don’t cut corners (unless we’re literally cutting one). Every nail, every wall, every finish—built to last, because loving your home again only works if it stays that way.
- Tailored Approach: Your home is unique, and so are your needs. We start every project with a conversation about your goals and your style, so what we build back is a space that feels like you—one you’ll actually love coming home to.
- Clear and Transparent Pricing: No surprises here. We start with a Professional Service Agreement and design your project in detail—then lock in a fixed-price quote based on that design. You’ll know exactly what your renovation costs before a single hammer swings, so you can focus on the part that matters: loving your home again.
