Condo Renovation Contractors in Burnaby (Condo Renovation Burnaby)
Condo renovations are different from house renovations. You’re working within:
✓ strata bylaws and council meeting schedules
✓ elevator bookings and restricted work hours
✓ noise, dust, and debris handling rules
✓ waterproofing requirements (bathrooms) and acoustic underlay rules (flooring)
We plan around those realities so your project stays predictable.
Burnaby Condo Buildings We’ve Worked In
We’ve completed condo renovations across Burnaby’s major hubs, including Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed. Many condo buildings have unique strata bylaws such as restricted work hours, elevator booking rules, acoustic underlay requirements, and protection standards. We plan around these requirements so renovations move forward with fewer delays.
Examples of buildings and developments we frequently work in:
Metrotown: Maywood on the Park, Crystal Mall area towers, Metropolis-adjacent high-rises
Brentwood: The Amazing Brentwood, Solo District, Brentwood Gate
Lougheed: Lougheed Town Centre–area towers and newer developments near the SkyTrain
