Contractors & renovations 288 listed in the Kootenays

Where to find them

Most of the region's contractors & renovations are in Cranbrook, Castlegar and Kimberley. In all, they are in 38 towns. About half have their own website. For the rest, the phone number is the best way in.

There are more renovation contractors in the region than any other trade. Most skip the website, because a builder's next job comes from the last one. Expect the phone to be how it all happens. You get a call back in the evening, a visit on Saturday and a quote a week later. Ask for a written estimate, proof of insurance, and the addresses of two recent jobs you can drive past.
