Renovations Capitol Hill. Modernize the home without losing what makes it yours.
QUAY Construction provides professionally managed renovations throughout Capitol Hill, Burnaby—from kitchens, bathrooms and basements to layout changes, complete interiors and extensive home renovations.
Existing homes come with existing conditions.
Capitol Hill renovations often involve more than replacing finishes. The existing house itself becomes part of the project.
Layouts, framing, plumbing routes, electrical systems, insulation, flooring transitions and earlier renovations can all influence what is practical and how the work should be sequenced.
QUAY Construction approaches each Capitol Hill renovation by first understanding the property, then defining the construction scope around the goals for the finished home.
The result is a renovation plan that coordinates design, trades, materials, approvals and construction rather than treating each room as a separate project.
Improve the house without erasing its character.
Older homes can offer strong proportions, established neighbourhood character and layouts worth preserving—but they may also need substantial updating behind the finishes.
A Capitol Hill home renovation can combine modern kitchens, bathrooms and interiors with improvements to electrical, plumbing, insulation, lighting, flooring and other existing conditions.

The renovation plan has to work with the house.
Existing building systems should be considered before major layout or finish decisions become fixed.
Is the electrical system ready for the renovation?
New appliances, lighting, heated floors and other loads may require review of existing circuits, panels and available capacity.
Are plumbing locations changing?
Moving kitchens or bathrooms can affect drainage, venting, water supply and construction complexity.
Are walls being altered?
Existing framing should be reviewed before assuming walls can be removed, opened or substantially modified.
What is hidden behind previous renovations?
Older properties can contain previous repairs or construction conditions that only become visible after demolition begins.
Does the scope require permits?
Structural alterations and certain plumbing, electrical or other regulated work may require municipal or trade permits.
Confirm approvals before construction.
Permit requirements depend on the work being proposed. Cosmetic changes are different from structural alterations, additions or regulated building-system work.
During planning, the renovation scope should be reviewed to determine whether engineering, drawings, municipal permits or trade permits are applicable.
