Expert Bathroom Renovations in Richmond

It depends on scope, not surface. Replacing a tub in the same spot with the same drain doesn't need one. Moving that tub 12 inches does. Any plumbing rough-in, structural change, or ventilation change requires a building permit from the City of Richmond. Cosmetic work like new tile or a vanity swap on existing plumbing usually doesn't. We confirm exactly what your project needs before we quote. See the City of Richmond's building approvals page or call 604-276-4118.

Richmond sits on the Fraser River delta below sea level in parts of the city, so the province sets a minimum flood construction level for new construction and some renovations that touch the building envelope or foundation. It rarely affects a standard bathroom remodel unless you're changing floor levels or doing structural work, but it's worth flagging to your permit reviewer if your project does.

Richmond has a large stock of condos and townhomes, especially around Brighouse and Steveston. We manage the strata approval application alongside the municipal permit, including proof of liability insurance and a scheduled work-hours plan that respects your building's bylaws.

A powder room refresh takes about 1 to 2 weeks on site. A full 4-piece renovation runs 3 to 5 weeks. If your project needs a permit, budget extra lead time before demolition starts since the City reviews applications for completeness before issuing.

Yes. We break the project into what protects the room long-term (waterproofing, plumbing) versus where you can flex (fixture brand, tile grade) so the number fits what you actually want to spend.

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