Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Burnaby?

Yes, if the work involves new or relocated plumbing, electrical changes, or wall modifications. A cosmetic refresh (new vanity, tile, fixtures in the same spots) usually doesn't need one. Burnaby runs most residential applications through its online ePlan portal and typically issues straightforward renovation permits in 4 to 8 weeks. See City of Burnaby's home improvement permits page for current details.

How does strata approval work for a Burnaby condo bathroom renovation?

Burnaby has a huge highrise stock, especially around Metrotown, so strata approval is often the longer step, not the municipal permit. Most councils want a renovation plan, a WorkSafeBC clearance letter, and proof of at least $2 million in liability insurance, reviewed at a monthly meeting, which typically adds 4 to 8 weeks. We prepare that package alongside the building permit so both move in parallel instead of one waiting on the other.

How long does a bathroom renovation take in Burnaby?

A powder room refresh runs 1 to 2 weeks on site. A full 4-piece bathroom typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. Highrise projects add time for booked elevator and parkade access for materials, which we schedule around your building's rules.

Can you work with my budget?

Yes. We show you where the money matters most (waterproofing, the shower system) and where you can save (fixture brand, vanity style) so the plan fits what you want to spend.

Do you offer warranties?

Every project carries a 2-year workmanship warranty on our labour and installation, plus manufacturer warranties on fixtures, tile, and vanities.

How do you reduce disruption during the renovation?

Dust barriers, daily cleanup, and work scheduled to respect building noise bylaws, typically 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays in strata buildings.

What sets Sweet Finishes apart for Burnaby renovations?

Larson leads every project personally and handles both the City of Burnaby permit and the strata approval package for condo renovations, so you're not managing two separate processes. Clear pricing from the first quote and a 2-year warranty on the work.
