Local Expertise

Renovating a Burnaby Home

Renovating in Burnaby means working with the way the city was built. Much of the detached housing went up between the 1950s and the 1980s, a lot of it sits on a slope, and many homes were designed with a lower level ready to become a suite. We plan around those conditions from day one so there are fewer surprises once the walls open up.

Hillside and sloped lots

Neighbourhoods like Capitol Hill, Burnaby Mountain, and Buckingham Heights sit on real grade. Sloped lots change how we handle access, drainage, and retaining, and we plan the site logistics before the first delivery.

Post-war housing stock

Homes from the 1950s and 1960s in areas like Burnaby Heights and East Burnaby often still run older wiring and galvanized plumbing. We coordinate the upgrades a permit inspector will expect before finishes go back on.

Secondary suites

Burnaby has one of the highest shares of legal suites in the region. We renovate lower levels into proper suites with the egress, ceiling height, and separation the City of Burnaby requires.

Pre-1990 materials

Older Burnaby homes can contain asbestos in flooring, ceilings, and insulation. We arrange proper testing and abatement rather than cutting into unknowns.

The wet climate

Coastal rain finds every gap. We build in the flashing, waterproofing, and drainage detailing that keep a renovation sound through a Lower Mainland winter.

Permits & where we work

Renovations that change structure, add a secondary suite, or alter drainage on a sloped lot go through the City of Burnaby's permit process. We prepare and manage those applications so the paperwork does not stall your project.

From our shop at 10220 120 St in Surrey, we reach Burnaby in roughly 25 to 35 minutes by way of Highway 1 over the Port Mann Bridge. We renovate homes across the city, including Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Edmonds, Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights, Deer Lake, and Government Road.

What Burnaby Homeowners Say

Burnaby Home Renovation, Answered

Do you handle City of Burnaby permits for a renovation?

Yes. When a project changes structure, adds a secondary suite, or alters drainage on a sloped lot, it goes through the City of Burnaby’s permit process. We prepare the drawings and applications and manage the approvals so the paperwork does not hold up your renovation.

Can you build or upgrade a secondary suite in Burnaby?

Yes, and it is one of the most common projects we do here. Burnaby has a large share of legal suites, so we renovate lower levels into proper suites with the egress windows, ceiling height, separate entry, and fire separation the City of Burnaby requires.

Can you renovate a home on a sloped Burnaby lot?

Yes. Areas like Capitol Hill, Burnaby Mountain, and Buckingham Heights sit on real grade. Sloped lots change how we handle access, drainage, and retaining, and we plan that into the schedule and the estimate rather than discovering it partway through.

Which Burnaby neighbourhoods do you serve?

We renovate across the whole city, including Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, Edmonds, Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights, Deer Lake, and Government Road. Our shop is in Surrey and Burnaby is a short drive over the Port Mann Bridge.

How long does a home renovation in Burnaby take?

It depends on the scope. A single bathroom moves quickly, while a full-home renovation runs longer because of permits, inspections, and the number of trades involved. We give you a realistic schedule with your estimate and keep you updated as the work moves along.

Are you insured for renovation work in Burnaby?

Yes. Elite Contracting Ltd. is fully insured, and we back our renovations with a workmanship warranty. Our 5.0 rating across 115 Google reviews reflects how we work on real projects across Metro Vancouver.
