A General Contractor Serving All of Burnaby

Burnaby is one of Greater Vancouver's most dynamic cities, with a mix of established residential neighbourhoods and rapidly developing urban centres. As a general contractor serving Burnaby from our base in neighbouring Surrey, we are on Burnaby job sites within a short drive, whether that is a kitchen renovation in Metrotown, a basement suite in Edmonds, or a full home renovation on Capitol Hill. Our team has extensive experience with Burnaby homes of all ages and styles, from 1960s ranchers in South Burnaby to modern townhomes near SkyTrain stations. We understand the City of Burnaby's permitting process and building requirements, and we manage every trade on your project under one contract, one schedule, and one point of contact.

Renovating Burnaby's Older Housing Stock

A large share of Burnaby's single-family homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and renovating them well takes more than cosmetic work. Ranchers and split-levels in South Slope, Capitol Hill, and Burnaby Heights often hide dated electrical panels, aging plumbing, poor insulation, and moisture damage behind their walls. Our crews routinely handle wood rot and dry rot repair, a common problem in our coastal climate, along with structural framing corrections, insulation upgrades, and full interior renovations that bring these solid older homes up to modern standards. Because we are a full-service general contractor, the same team that opens up your walls can also fix what it finds there, without you having to chase separate trades.

Home Renovations We Do Most in Burnaby

The projects Burnaby homeowners bring us most often are kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, basement development, home additions, and whole-home makeovers. Attic conversions are popular in Burnaby Heights and other neighbourhoods with older housing stock, turning unused roof space into bedrooms and offices. We also build aging-in-place renovations across Burnaby, including walk-in showers, wider doorways, grab bars, and main-floor living conversions that let homeowners stay comfortably in the houses they love. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation and a transparent, itemized quote.

Burnaby Building Permits and Timelines

The City of Burnaby requires building permits for most structural changes, secondary suites, additions, and any significant plumbing or electrical work. We prepare and submit permit applications, coordinate engineering where required, and schedule city inspections so your project keeps moving. Typical timelines once permits are in hand: bathroom renovations run 2 to 4 weeks, kitchen renovations 4 to 8 weeks, and basement developments or additions from 6 weeks to several months depending on scope. We give you a written schedule before work begins and keep you updated at every stage.

Commercial Renovations in Burnaby

Burnaby's commercial corridors, from Metrotown retail to Brentwood and Lougheed offices, are busy places to run a business, and renovation downtime costs money. As a commercial renovation contractor in Burnaby we phase work around your operating hours, including evening and weekend shifts, and handle code compliance, fire safety, and accessibility requirements. We renovate offices, retail stores, restaurants, and clinics, and we coordinate directly with building management and strata where required.

What to Expect When You Hire Us in Burnaby

Every Burnaby project follows the same straightforward process. It starts with a free in-home consultation where we measure the space, listen to what you want, and flag anything that could affect cost or timeline. You receive a written, itemized quote with no hidden allowances, and once you approve it we lock in a start date and a schedule. During the work you have one point of contact who answers your calls, and our crews protect your home with dust barriers and daily cleanup.
