Local Expertise

Renovating a New Westminster Home

Renovating in New Westminster means respecting how old the city is. Many homes are a century or more old, some are protected heritage, and the land drops steeply to the river in places. We plan around age, character, and grade from day one.

Heritage and character homes

Queen's Park is one of the largest heritage areas in the region, and character homes across the city come with rules and details worth protecting. We renovate them keeping the parts that matter while modernizing everything behind the walls.

Very old housing stock

A lot of New Westminster predates the 1940s, which often means knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and old foundations. We upgrade those systems as part of the renovation.

Steep hills to the Fraser

The city climbs from the river up the hill, so slope changes access, drainage, and retaining on many lots.

Queensborough by the river

The flat, low-lying part of the city on Lulu Island sits near the water, where drainage and flood levels matter more.

Pre-1990 materials

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

Permits & where we work

Renovations that change structure, add a suite, or touch a heritage or character home go through a city permit process, and heritage rules can apply. 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 New Westminster in roughly 15 to 25 minutes by way of the Pattullo Bridge over the Fraser. We renovate homes across the city, including Queen's Park, Uptown, Sapperton, the West End, Downtown, and Queensborough.

What New Westminster Homeowners Say

New Westminster Home Renovation, Answered

Do you handle New Westminster permits for a renovation?

Yes. When a project changes structure, adds a suite, or touches a heritage or character home, it goes through a city permit process, and heritage rules can apply. We prepare the drawings and applications and manage the approvals so the paperwork does not hold up your renovation.

Can you renovate a heritage or character home in New Westminster?

Yes. Queen’s Park and other parts of the city hold many protected and character homes. We renovate them carefully, keeping the features that matter and following the applicable rules while modernizing the wiring, plumbing, and insulation behind the walls.

My New Westminster home is a century old. Can you update the old systems?

Yes. Homes from before the 1940s often still run knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized plumbing, and can carry asbestos or lead in old materials. We test for what needs testing, coordinate abatement, and upgrade the systems as part of the renovation.

Which New Westminster neighbourhoods do you serve?

We renovate across the whole city, including Queen’s Park, Uptown, Sapperton, the West End, Downtown, and Queensborough. Our shop is in Surrey and New Westminster is a short drive over the Pattullo Bridge.

How long does a home renovation in New Westminster 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, and heritage work can add time. 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 New Westminster?

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.
