Renovation Contractor on the North Shore
Kitchen Renovations in North and West Vancouver
Old To New renovates kitchens across the North Shore, from Lynn Valley and Lonsdale to Edgemont, Ambleside, Dundarave and the British Properties. These are some of the region's most distinctive homes, hillside lots, view properties and quality mid-century builds, and their kitchens deserve the same standard. We deliver custom cabinetry, quartz and granite countertops, islands, lighting and full layout reconfigurations as a fully insured general contractor, and we navigate permits in all three North Shore municipalities. Quotes are free.
Designing kitchens around North Shore views
On a hillside lot in the British Properties or a waterfront-facing home in Dundarave, the view is the most valuable finish in the house, and the kitchen should not turn its back on it. Many of our North Shore projects reorient the kitchen entirely: sinks and prep zones move to face the windows, upper cabinets come off view walls in favour of full-height storage elsewhere, and islands are positioned so the cook faces the water or the city lights instead of a backsplash. This kind of reconfiguration usually involves moving plumbing and electrical, which we permit and inspect properly through the relevant municipality.
Three municipalities, three permit offices, one contractor
The North Shore is actually three jurisdictions: the City of North Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver and the District of West Vancouver, and each runs its own permit process with its own timelines. A Lonsdale condo, a Lynn Valley split-level and an Ambleside bungalow can sit within a few kilometres of each other and answer to three different offices. We deal with all three regularly, so we know which projects need permits, what each office wants in an application, and how to schedule inspections without stalling the job. You hire one contractor and we sort out whose rules apply.
Hillside logistics and older home surprises
Renovating on the North Shore comes with practical challenges flat-land contractors underestimate. Steep shared driveways in Edgemont and the British Properties complicate material deliveries and bin placement, and we plan both before demolition day. Many Lynn Valley and Ambleside homes date from the 1950s to 1970s, so we budget realistic contingencies for aluminum wiring, dated plumbing and asbestos-era materials, and we test before disturbing anything suspect. Kitchen renovations here typically run $25,000 to $80,000 and up, with hillside access and structural changes being the main variables. The free quote spells all of it out before you commit.
