Dental Clinic Renovation in Burnaby
A complete commercial renovation of a dental clinic in Burnaby, finished in just 1 week. This was our second project with this client — the first was a fireplace at their home. When the dentist needed to open as quickly as possible, the entire build-out had to be compressed into a single week. We re-planned the floor zones, traffic flow, and storage to maximize the use of every square foot, then executed the demo, drywall, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, quartz countertops, and finishing work back-to-back. Commercial projects aren't like residential — when the clinic isn't open, the dentist isn't earning. Time is cost, efficiency is the deliverable.

Client Reviews
We have been through a major reno before with a builder and two other smaller ones with others so this review comes with some comparables. Ryan, from Renostars, is amazing. Super easy to work with, provided great drawings, samples, brought in the right people, kept the area tidy and clean, no damage to areas around it, excellent communication…did an excellent job ON TIME and ON BUDGET. We were so pleased with the results, would definitely recommend and use again.
Reno Stars completed a full renovation of our townhouse, including replacing the entire flooring, stairs, kitchen cabinets, tiles, lighting, and reworking the bathrooms. The quality of their work is excellent, and the pricing was very reasonable for the scope of the project. Communication was great — they were always responsive and kept us updated throughout the process. The team was efficient, professional, and delivered high-quality results. Highly recommend Reno Stars for any home renovation project.
