Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a kitchen renovation in Coquitlam?
Yes, if the renovation moves plumbing, opens walls, or changes electrical loads. The City of Coquitlam's Building Department (3000 Guildford Way, 604-927-3441) typically processes residential renovation permits in 2 to 6 weeks. Wall-removal projects need a structural engineer's stamped drawing, which we coordinate. See City of Coquitlam's building permit page.
Can you open up my Coquitlam kitchen to the living area?
In most cases, yes. Coquitlam's newer subdivision and townhome stock often has less restrictive framing than older Vancouver character homes, but any load-bearing wall still needs an engineered header and a permit. We assess your specific layout before quoting.
What's different about renovating in Coquitlam versus older Vancouver homes?
Coquitlam's housing skews newer, more 1980s-onward single family homes and townhomes, so we run into fewer of the outdated wiring and galvanized pipe surprises common in pre-1980 Vancouver homes. Permit volumes have grown with the Tri-Cities' fast growth, so timelines can vary more than smaller municipalities.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Coquitlam?
A cosmetic update runs 2 to 3 weeks. A full renovation with layout changes typically takes 6 to 10 weeks including permit processing.
Can you work with my budget?
Yes. We help you decide where to spend and where to save so the plan fits your number.
Do you offer warranties?
Every project includes a 2-year workmanship warranty on our labour and installation, plus manufacturer warranties on cabinets, countertops, and appliances.
