Renovation Contractor on the North Shore
Commercial Renovations in North and West Vancouver
Old To New renovates commercial spaces across the North Shore, from Lower Lonsdale offices and restaurants to village retail in Edgemont and storefronts along Marine Drive in Ambleside and Dundarave. We serve business owners, tenants and property managers in all three municipalities, the City of North Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver and West Vancouver, and we handle the right permit application for whichever one your building sits in. Fully insured, with free quotes.
Three municipalities, three permit offices, one contractor
The North Shore's quirk is that a business in Lonsdale, one in Lynn Valley and one in Ambleside answer to three different municipal governments, each with its own permit process, timelines and inspection staff. Contractors who rarely work here learn that mid-project. We sort out jurisdiction on day one, prepare the application the way that specific office expects, and build the approval timeline into your schedule honestly. Structural, plumbing and electrical work needs permits in all three municipalities, and commercial renovations can also trigger fire and accessibility upgrades. We flag all of it during quoting, because a surprise requirement discovered after demolition is the most expensive kind.
Village retail and restaurant spaces that match their neighbourhood
North Shore retail is village retail. Edgemont, Dundarave, Ambleside and Lower Lonsdale all trade on character, and customers notice when a renovation cheapens a streetscape they love. We build storefronts and interiors that fit, quality millwork, proper lighting, durable finishes that handle the North Shore's wet season without looking tired by February. Restaurant and cafe fitouts get the full mechanical coordination, ventilation, plumbing and electrical sequenced so inspections do not stall your opening. Many of these buildings are older with undocumented surprises behind the walls, so we investigate before we price, and we keep sidewalk disruption minimal because your neighbours are also your customers.
Offices and clinics from Lonsdale to the British Properties corridor
Professional offices, medical clinics and dental practices make up much of our North Shore commercial work, concentrated around Lonsdale and Marine Drive where the walk-in traffic lives. Clinic renovations carry specific demands, plumbing for treatment rooms, upgraded electrical, accessible entrances and washrooms, and acoustic privacy between rooms, and we plan those requirements into the drawings rather than improvising on site. For occupied buildings we run disruptive work evenings and weekends so your practice keeps seeing patients. We also help tenants make sense of improvement allowances, documenting scope and costs so the landlord releases funds without friction. Hillside buildings with parking below or slopes behind get extra structural care before we touch anything.
