Home Renovations & Improvements
Looking to upgrade or refresh your home? We bring the same craftsmanship to renovations and home improvements as we do to new builds. Whether it’s adding a new room, remodeling an existing space, or giving your home a facelift, we approach every renovation with care and precision.
Our Campbell River renovation services are focused on enhancing comfort, increasing property value, and modernizing your living space — while maintaining the character of your home.
Excavation & Site Preparation
Proper site preparation is the foundation of every successful home build. Giesbrecht Buildings Inc. provides expert excavation, backfilling, and site grading in Campbell River and across Vancouver Island.
We carefully evaluate excavation depth, soil bearing conditions, and elevation to ensure water drainage and stormwater control. By working with the natural landscape, we keep costs under control while setting the stage for a durable, long-lasting build. GBI supervisors are always on-site to oversee excavation and backfilling.
Concrete Foundation Construction
Strong foundations create strong homes. At Giesbrecht Buildings Inc., we deliver foundation work that is accurate, durable, and consistently above industry standards. Our team pays close attention to the MPa (megapascal) rating of concrete to ensure long-term strength.
When improved concrete flow is needed, we use chemical additives rather than excess water. This ensures maximum durability and meets engineering requirements. By investing in quality at the foundation stage, we build homes that stand the test of time in Campbell River’s climate.
Concrete Slabs & Crawlspaces
Our crawlspace concrete systems go beyond standard building practices. We pour a 2.5-inch slab over a continuous ground seal, eliminating curbs that penetrate through the seal. This design improves moisture control and long-term durability.
The concrete slab and vapor barrier sit directly on the footing, providing superior support. Finished with a polished power trowel surface, the crawlspace is easy to clean, move items, and maintain. Every GBI client receives a complimentary plywood creeper for moving storage boxes with ease.
The polished surface also makes it ready for an optional sealer, giving your crawlspace additional protection against wear and moisture.
Framing & Structural Carpentry
Framing is the backbone of every home, and Giesbrecht Buildings Inc. ensures precision and strength with every build. Our team uses only high-quality materials, carefully chosen by experienced carpenters focused on accuracy.
We use high-performance TGI floor joists — standard at GBI — to prevent common long-term problems associated with dimensional lumber systems. With over 14 years of experience working alongside Campbell River’s best carpenters, we deliver structural framing that is both solid and built to last.
Thermal & Moisture Protection
Energy efficiency and comfort are key to modern home construction. At Giesbrecht Buildings Inc., we stay ahead of evolving thermal and moisture protection standards through ongoing education with the Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA) and BCIT-certified instructors.
From airtightness to insulation and cladding details, we apply proven building science to maximize comfort and reduce energy costs. Our goal is to build homes in Campbell River that perform exceptionally well in every season — keeping families warm, dry, and comfortable year-round.
Finishes & Custom Details
From roofing and windows to doors and soffits, Giesbrecht Buildings Inc. delivers complete finishing solutions. Simply share your vision — or show us a picture — and we’ll bring it to life with precision and craftsmanship.
We partner with the best finishing trades in Campbell River, ensuring that every detail enhances both the look and performance of your home. Our finished work is our signature — clean, professional, and built to impress.
Mechanical & HVAC Systems
We provide complete mechanical and HVAC system design and installation tailored to your home. Our systems are built for comfort, efficiency, and long-term reliability. Every duct system is professionally cleaned prior to move-in — a detail most builders overlook.
Each home includes HRV (heat recovery ventilation) fans for clean, balanced airflow. We design systems to meet Step 4 of the BC Building Code, working with certified energy advisors to ensure energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Our installations also allow for a wide range of custom lighting options.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Make the most of Vancouver Island’s natural beauty with custom outdoor living designs. Giesbrecht Buildings Inc. builds patios, decks, and outdoor spaces with hand-finished cedar or fir posts and beams, combining natural aesthetics with durability.
We also provide long-term follow-up service for stress-free maintenance. Our outdoor living projects are tailored to your lifestyle, adding both value and enjoyment to your home. From BBQ-ready patios to relaxing outdoor retreats, we bring your vision to life.
Testimonials
“We worked with Mike from the design to the completion of our home. We ended up with a dream home that we absolutely love. Mike encouraged us to challenge the land developer on a few upgrades so we could get the modern and contemporary design we wanted. Our walls are 100% ICF Block and this was not an easy home to build. Mike only uses the very best trades and ones he chose had a lot of experience and lots of respect for Mike, a guy who knows his stuff and does a good job. Also Mike has a good crew that has been with him for many years, they were hard working, efficient, clean, and courteous. I did a lot of finishing myself like doors, baseboards, tiling, and engineered floors. Everything was always perfectly level, plumb, and on the square. For example our family room that is about 35 feet wide, the variance was less than 1/8th of an inch, wow! Would highly recommend that if you are looking for a custom home that you use Mike Giesbrecht, you will end up with what you want at a fair price.”
“Mike and his team have been a pleasure to work with. Their attention to quality and detail is a rare find these days and is a standout against many who just slap it together. It’s nice to know there are still quality tradesmen that take pride in their craft and want to make their customers happy. Having worked with many builders over the years, Giesbrecht Buildings is a standout for being a good experience and getting a quality product.”
“Giesbrecht Buildings completed our new home in Campbell River 1 year ago. The work was timely, on budget, and impeccable. The job was challenging since we were residing in Vancouver throughout. Nevertheless Mike Giesbrecht always responded promptly to our calls and questions. The bookkeeping with Keena, Administrative Manager, was detailed and clearly laid out. Site manager Kyle resolved numerous concerns easily and efficiently. 5 stars.”
