Before & After

Results & Key Takeaways

The renovation project was a resounding success, with the Burnaby home transformed into a modern and functional space. The client expressed immense satisfaction with the quality of work and the attention to detail. This project highlights the importance of effective project management and communication in achieving renovation goals.

Whole-house renovations are also an ideal time to incorporate accessible bathroom features such as grab bars, step-in showers, and wider doorways — future-proofing the home for years to come.

Many Metro Vancouver homeowners are also upgrading to a heat pump HVAC system during major renovations — providing both heating and cooling in one energy-efficient unit, and qualifying for BC Hydro rebates.

When renovation projects add new appliances, EV charging stations, or smart home systems, a critical load panel upgrade is often needed to safely handle the increased electrical load.

If your Metro Vancouver home was built before 1995, it may have poly-B pipes. Our poly-B pipe replacement service addresses this common issue before it leads to costly water damage — something worth considering during any major renovation.

If you live in a strata property (condo or townhouse), review BC's strata renovation rules before starting work — many projects require strata council approval and must follow specific noise, hour, and contractor requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much did this Burnaby home renovation cost?

This Burnaby whole house renovation was completed with a budget of $62,000–$64,000 over a 7–9 week timeline. The scope included extensive flooring replacement, lighting optimization, and comprehensive aesthetic upgrades throughout the family home. At this budget level, Burnaby homeowners can achieve a full-home transformation that addresses the primary visual and functional pain points without structural changes.

What renovation scope is achievable for $60,000–$65,000 in Burnaby?

At the $60,000–$65,000 range in Burnaby, a whole house renovation can realistically include: full flooring replacement throughout (LVP or engineered hardwood), complete interior repaint, updated lighting fixtures, kitchen cabinet refresh or new countertops and backsplash, and bathroom updates (new vanity, tile, fixtures). Structural changes, full kitchen rebuild, or full bathroom gut-renovations typically push budgets above this range.

How long does a whole house renovation take in Burnaby?

This Burnaby project was completed in 7–9 weeks of active construction, which is typical for a comprehensive cosmetic-to-light renovation. Full gut renovations with structural changes and multiple permits run 14–20 weeks. The City of Burnaby's permit process for residential renovations is generally 2–4 weeks, faster than the City of Vancouver. Strata approval for Burnaby townhouses or condos adds 3–5 weeks before construction can begin.

Is a whole house renovation in Burnaby worth the investment?

Burnaby's strong real estate market — with detached home prices typically ranging $1.3M–$2M+ — supports renovation investment well. A $62,000 whole house renovation on a Burnaby property can add $80,000–$120,000 in perceived market value when the work addresses buyer-visible elements like flooring, lighting, and kitchen/bathroom aesthetics. Burnaby's proximity to SkyTrain, BCIT, and SFU creates consistent buyer demand that rewards move-in-ready presentation.

What trades are involved in a Burnaby whole house renovation?

A comprehensive Burnaby home renovation typically coordinates: flooring installer, painter, electrician (for lighting upgrades and any panel work), plumber (for fixture changes), and a general contractor managing the overall project. Using a single renovation company to coordinate all trades ensures consistent scheduling, single-point accountability, and no gaps between trade scopes. Reno Stars manages all trade coordination under one fixed-price contract for Burnaby projects.

What custom features were included in this Burnaby home renovation?

Beyond the two bathroom renovations and flooring upgrade, this Burnaby home renovation included several architectural custom elements: a new staircase, glass doors installed in key locations throughout the home, and LED mirrors in the bathrooms. These feature elements distinguish a comprehensive whole-house renovation from a surface-level refresh. A new staircase is both a functional and design statement — often the first thing visitors see. Glass doors improve natural light flow between spaces. LED mirrors in bathrooms deliver even, shadow-free lighting and make the bathrooms feel significantly more contemporary. Together with the flooring and bathroom renovations, these features brought the entire home into a coherent, modern design language within the $60,000–$65,000 project budget.
