Local Expertise

Renovating a West Vancouver Home

West Vancouver runs from the Burrard Inlet shoreline up the slope toward the British Properties and Cypress, and most of the houses here went up in the 1970s and 80s. Grade, rock, and building stock that is now forty to fifty years old shape almost every renovation in the district, so we plan around them before the first wall comes down.

Houses built in the 1970s and 80s

Most of West Vancouver's existing homes were built in the 1970s and 80s, many of them in the British Properties. That vintage usually means original kitchens and bathrooms, and wiring and plumbing worth upgrading while the walls are open.

Steep lots above Marine Drive

West Vancouver climbs from the waterfront toward the British Properties and Cypress. Slope and rock change access, excavation, and retaining, so we plan the site work before anything else.

The district's oldest houses near the water

Some West Vancouver homes date back to the 1920s and 30s, from the district's earliest years around Ambleside, Dundarave, and Hollyburn. Older framing and finishes need a careful hand, and we plan for what is behind the plaster.

Renovations meant to last a lifetime

More than one in five West Vancouver residents is 65 or older, the second-highest share in British Columbia. If your renovation needs to work for the long term, we can design in a step-free entry, wider doorways, and a main-floor bathroom.

Pre-1990 materials

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

Permits & where we work

Renovations that change structure, add a suite, or sit on a steep lot go through the District of West Vancouver's permit and review 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 West Vancouver by way of Highway 1 and the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, then west along the Upper Levels Highway. We renovate homes across the district, including Ambleside, Dundarave, the British Properties, Hollyburn, Caulfeild, Whytecliff, and Horseshoe Bay.

West Vancouver Home Renovation, Answered

Do you handle District of West Vancouver permits for a renovation?

Yes. When a project changes structure, adds a suite, or sits on a steep lot, it goes through the District of West Vancouver’s permit and review process. We prepare the drawings and applications and manage the approvals so the paperwork does not hold up your renovation.

Can you renovate a home on a steep West Vancouver lot?

Yes. West Vancouver climbs from the Burrard Inlet shoreline toward the British Properties and Cypress, so slope and rock change access, excavation, and retaining. We plan that into the schedule and the estimate rather than discovering it partway through.

Most West Vancouver homes were built in the 1970s and 80s. What does that mean for a renovation?

It usually means the layout, the kitchen, and the bathrooms are original, and that the wiring and plumbing are worth upgrading while the walls are already open. It also means testing for asbestos before cutting into pre-1990 flooring, ceilings, or insulation.

Which West Vancouver areas do you serve?

We renovate across the district, including Ambleside, Dundarave, the British Properties, Hollyburn, Caulfeild, Whytecliff, and Horseshoe Bay. Our shop is in Surrey and we cross the Second Narrows to reach the North Shore.

How long does a home renovation in West Vancouver 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 West Vancouver?

Yes. Elite Contracting Ltd. is fully insured, and we back our renovations with a workmanship warranty. Our 5.0 rating across 121 Google reviews reflects how we work on real projects across Metro Vancouver.
