 Renovation Electrical Services

A successful renovation goes beyond beautiful finishes and modern layouts; its foundation is built on safety, quality, and compliance. Electrical work is the central nervous system of your project, and when it comes to renovations, there is no room for error. Faulty wiring is a leading cause of residential fires, making the choice of your electrical contractor one of the most critical decisions you’ll make.

At vico, we believe in the three pillars of exceptional electrical contracting: uncompromising quality, meticulous attention to detail, and strict adherence to code. Serving the Greater Vancouver community since 2006, we are a fully licensed, insured, and bonded team committed to the highest standards. Our clients—from homeowners to general contractors and interior designers—trust us for our transparent, upfront pricing, friendly service, and an industry-leading lifetime workmanship warranty.
