We filed our taxes already and I didn't put any of the renovations on the taxes, so I can always do it for 2022 tax season. Essentially, I'm going to get him to audit my taxes to see if I did anything wrong. |

However, if your rental suite has appliances (Class 8 - 20%), you could capitalize those to your rental schedule and claim the CCA on those specific items. In the event that you sell your home with those appliances included, then you could potentially face recapture which reverses some/all of those previously claimed CCA deductions. |
I've been asking around to get a quote for window screen installation for 2x windows & 1x patio door for my condo. I've been getting quotes for like $700ish, $800 if you factor in taxes. Seems hella expensive for 2x windows & 1x door. One shop with good google reviews wanted taxes on top (Asian shop), told me he pays taxes too, I'm like the fuck you do LOL :troll: Is this the norm nowadays? Anyone got a cheaper lead/referral? |
That's what I paid for 1 phantom screen for patio and 2 standard window casement screens. If it's anything less than a phantom screen that's a ripoff |
April sales were 1.5% above 10 year average compared to March sales that were 25% above average. Seems like a pretty big jump, maybe prices will follow soon |

1 x balcony sliding screen 2 x large window screens (living room and master) 2 x regular window screens (2nd and 3rd bedroom) 2 x small window screens (bathroom x 2) 4 years no issues, quality from what I can tell is good I definitely didn't have a moment where I questioned it might be on the cheap side. |

I know for us on small projects materials are such a small piece of it, it's the travelling to a location and setting up that accounts for most the cost regardless how much work we have. We end up paying our guys for the day, we can't ask them to go to a job in Delta in the morning and then drive out to North Vancouver when their done to finish the day. BTW I'm not saying this guy isn't expensive because that sounds like a lot but it's the travelling to a location where the costs add up. |

Recently bought windows too. 16 windows with screens and 2 patio doors. $13000 including tax. Canto speaking sales and measurement person and caucasian installers. |
The brand of windows matters a lot more than installers or estimaters lol I have some windows which are basically unbranded, installed under 10 years ago, they all are going to get replaced with starline windows in the next few. Absolutely terrible quality |

Thanks! I'm still going to speak to that accountant and get him to audit my taxes, but I always want information before I speak to someone about stuff like this! Super appreciated! |
I used Starline and they have been good. A couple of loose trim issues that were warrantied pretty quickly. My neighbor went with Centra and they had a few issues with water ingress after installation (also fixed by warranty). |
Starline probably makes the best vinyl windows available in the lower mainland imo |
6585 brooks sold for 3.8m! |
I had Westeck vinyl windows installed 5 years ago and am pretty happy with them. I do see a lot of Starline windows being installed these days. Does anyone know how the quality of Starline compares to Westeck windows? My sister is looking for windows and I recommended Westeck but maybe I should also have her look at Starline. |
According to my wife, Westeck is a tier above Starline. She finds that Westeck is able to offer more variations/customizations with their offerings (things like shape, sizes, profiles, etc...) |
And your wife is in the window industry? |
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/deve...-parking-stall Wesgroup defending themselves in response to this parking spot issue emailed out an Industry Release Statement. Of course I was sifting through my inbox looking for a lost email that I stumble upon this in my junk box. Copy/pasted for you guys Wesgroup Properties Diligent in Following City of Vancouver Parking Guidelines Developer disappointed in report of inaccurate facts regarding parking standards and practices Vancouver, April 6, 2022 — As one of Western Canada’s largest, and most respected private real estate organizations, Wesgroup Properties is proud to have built more than 7,000 homes, in addition to owning and managing a significant portfolio of commercial space, with integrity and attention to high quality detail. The River District community’s Avalon 3 is an example of a market residential project that Wesgroup is proud to have presented to the community when completion began in January of 2022. Hundreds of happy Avalon 3 homeowners are enjoying the River District lifestyle, set in the backdrop of this Fraser River community. Wesgroup was disappointed to see media profile on a parking spot complaint that contained several inaccuracies and mispresented the company’s constant attention to both municipal guidelines and transparency with valued homeowners. Our customer service team had communicated with the purchaser in advance of this topic being presented to the media, and we had informed the purchaser that all parking spots, including the spot in question, are within City of Vancouver size standards and actually exceeds the standards on some measurements. We pride ourselves on our strong reputation and if there was an issue with the parking stall, we would diligently be addressing it with the purchaser, however, that is not the case. As the real estate industry may be aware, BC municipalities, including The City of Vancouver regulate parking and set guidelines for the number of parking stalls, along with the size of the stalls. As a developer, we follow these guidelines and submit both a development permit and building permit, with parking detail, to the City for review and approval in advance of any construction start. “We take municipal requirements seriously and we, along with our consultants and architect, work diligently to abide by these guidelines,” says Wesgroup Properties President Beau Jarvis. “It concerns us that a media outlet would present inaccurate information and that this may confuse any of our valued industry partners.” The stall in question meets all of the City of Vancouver requirements, which has been confirmed by our architect IBI Group in writing, in addition to being constructed following an approved development and building permit from the City of Vancouver. Unfortunately, the measurements completed by the home purchaser, and members of the media, were not correctly executed in accordance with the regulations set out by the City of Vancouver. Wesgroup Properties is available to answer specific questions at any time and we trust that our partners’ years of experience working with us as a company valuing honesty, transparency and integrity, will further confirm our practices and position on this matter.

Buddyguy in article owns a 2018 X6 by the looks of it: Width with mirrors is 86" Stall clearance is 91" minus the bullshit pillar 91-86=5" (less due to pillar, he might need to consider his first world problems, and not back in) 5" / 2 sides = 2.5" clearance on each side of his vehicle. The buyer messed up, by cheaping out, and getting a small stall (il give him benefit of the doubt, that his unit only comes with the "small car" stall, which he agreed to) An X6, is not a "small car" Play stupid games, win stupid prizes |
