About Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge renovation contractor Reno Stars delivers kitchen, bathroom, basement, and whole-house renovations across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. From Albion and Thornhill to Haney and Silver Valley, we bring our full-service renovation capability to every neighbourhood in the district.

Real Maple Ridge project pricing: bathroom renovations from $18,000–$21,000 (3-4 weeks, including custom glass door and tiled walls) to $35,000+ for full master bath suites with heated floors. kitchen renovations from $25,000 for cabinet + countertop refresh to $50,000+ for gut-and-rebuild layouts.

Maple Ridge's larger lots and older housing stock make it a prime market for whole-house renovations and basement suite conversions. Many Maple Ridge homes built in the 1970s-1990s have outdated kitchens and bathrooms that can be transformed within the original footprint for a fraction of the cost of moving. Basement suites are especially popular — the District of Maple Ridge actively supports secondary suite development, and we handle the full permit process including fire separation, egress windows, and separate-entrance construction.

$5M CGL insurance, active WCB coverage, and a 3-year workmanship warranty. Free Maple Ridge home renovation quotes within 48 hours.

Maple Ridge Home Renovation Costs

Real pricing from our Maple Ridge projects:

  • Kitchen renovation: $22,000–$50,000 (competitive pricing vs Vancouver core)
  • Bathroom renovation: $15,000–$35,000+ (see bathroom cost guide)
  • Basement renovation: $30,000–$70,000 (legal suite conversions popular in Maple Ridge)
  • Whole-house renovation: $75,000–$180,000+

Maple Ridge offers excellent renovation value compared to Vancouver and Burnaby, with larger homes and lower permit fees.

Maple Ridge Neighbourhoods

We serve all Maple Ridge areas including Albion, Silver Valley, Thornhill, Haney, Kanaka Creek, Whonnock, and Websters Corners. The mix of newer subdivisions and character homes in each area means every renovation starts with a thorough assessment.

Bathroom Renovation in Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge bathroom renovation costs: $15,000–$22,000 for a standard 3-piece update (tiled shower, new vanity, toilet, and lighting), $22,000–$32,000 for a 4-piece with soaker tub, and $28,000–$35,000+ for a master ensuite with heated floors, double vanity, and frameless glass.

Maple Ridge's diverse housing stock creates distinct renovation scenarios. Pre-war Haney character homes often require plumbing relocation and subfloor levelling before tiling. 1970s–1990s Thornhill bungalows typically have compact 3-piece layouts that benefit from reconfiguring into a functional 4-piece. Newer Silver Valley and Albion homes often have builder-grade finishes ready for an upgrade — heated tile floors, frameless glass enclosures, and wall-hung vanities are popular choices.

Permits for Maple Ridge bathroom renovations: a building permit is typically required when moving plumbing fixtures or adding electrical (GFCI outlets, exhaust fans). Cosmetic updates — vanity swap, tile replacement, fixture change — often proceed without a permit. The District of Maple Ridge residential bathroom permit typically turnarounds in 3–6 business days.

See our full Bathroom Renovation Maple Ridge 2026 guide for neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood cost breakdowns.

Kitchen Renovation in Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge offers outstanding kitchen renovation value compared to Vancouver or Burnaby — larger homes on larger lots, lower permit fees, and 5–15% lower labour costs for equivalent scope. Kitchen renovation costs by tier:

  • Budget countertop and backsplash refresh (existing cabinets kept): $14,000–$22,000
  • Standard semi-custom replacement (shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, backsplash, LED lighting): $22,000–$32,000
  • Custom with island and premium appliances: $30,000–$42,000
  • Gut-and-rebuild / estate scope (Silver Valley, Albion executive homes): $40,000–$50,000+

Maple Ridge homeowners in the 2000s-era neighbourhoods of Silver Valley and Albion are often at their first renovation moment — builder-grade laminate countertops, oak cabinets, and fluorescent lighting ready for a modern update. Acreage homes in Thornhill and east Maple Ridge often have larger kitchen footprints that allow for more ambitious designs — waterfall islands, butler's pantries, and open-concept layouts are all feasible in these larger spaces.

Cabinet Refinishing & Refacing in Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge homeowners frequently ask about cabinet refinishing as a mid-renovation option — refreshing the kitchen look while saving on full cabinet replacement costs. See our Cabinet Refinishing Cost Vancouver guide for 2026 pricing tiers, before-and-after comparisons, and tips on choosing between spray refinishing, vinyl refacing, and new door replacement. A typical refinish in Maple Ridge runs $3,000–$8,000 depending on cabinet count and finish choice.

Commercial Renovation in Maple Ridge

Reno Stars completes commercial renovations throughout Maple Ridge — restaurant fit-outs and remodels in the Haney town centre, medical and dental clinic builds along 224th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road, retail build-outs in Westgate Shopping Centre and along Lougheed Highway, and office tenant improvements for professional services firms across the District.

Restaurant and Food Service Renovation in Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge's Haney town centre has a growing restaurant cluster with both new operators and established businesses renovating for modernization and compliance. Restaurant renovations in Maple Ridge fall under Fraser Health Authority (not Vancouver Coastal Health) and require Fraser Health sign-off on kitchen layouts, equipment placement, and ventilation:

  • Commercial exhaust hood (Type I) + make-up air unit: $50K–$125K installed, required for any commercial cooking equipment generating grease-laden vapour
  • Grease interceptor: Required by the District of Maple Ridge — interior 1,000 lb or exterior vault depending on drain configuration and floor proximity to the municipal sewer tie-in
  • Fraser Health layout approval: Required before final permit; we coordinate this concurrently with the District of Maple Ridge building permit application
  • Patio and outdoor service permits: Maple Ridge's commercial zones along Lougheed and in Haney often allow patio expansion — we coordinate with both the District and BC Liquor for licensed outdoor areas

Strip-mall restaurant conversions from retail along Lougheed Highway typically involve a change of use from Group D (mercantile) to Group A2 (assembly/dining) — this triggers a full BC Building Code review of accessibility, exit paths, and sometimes fire separation requirements even when the building is Part 9 scale.

Medical and Dental Clinic Renovation in Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge's healthcare corridor along 224th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road supports family medicine practices, dental offices, physiotherapy clinics, and specialist services. Healthcare renovations require Fraser Health Authority review in addition to the District of Maple Ridge building permit:

  • Lead-lined X-ray and dental panoramic rooms: Require BC Safety Authority approval and physicist sign-off on shielding design
  • Accessible design (BC Code §3.8 + CSA B651): All commercial TI permits trigger accessibility review — accessible main entrance, accessible washroom, and service counter height are standard requirements
  • HVAC zoning for clinical infection control: ASHRAE 62.1 air-change rates apply to clinical spaces; healthcare renovations typically require either a separate HVAC system or a zoned addition to the existing building HVAC
  • Sterile prep and autoclave rooms: Drainage, chemical-resistant flooring, and ventilation per BC Health Facilities Design Guidelines

Permits and Code — Maple Ridge Commercial

Commercial permits in Maple Ridge are issued by the District of Maple Ridge Development Services. Key code considerations:

  • BC Building Code Part 3 vs Part 9: Most Maple Ridge strip-mall TIs fall under Part 9 (buildings ≤600 m² and ≤3 storeys). However, a change of occupancy class — such as converting retail to restaurant or office to medical clinic — can trigger Part 3 requirements for fire safety, accessible egress, and sprinkler coverage regardless of building size.
  • Occupancy classification review: The District reviews occupancy change applications as part of the building permit. We initiate this before commencing design to avoid scope changes mid-project.
  • Business licence requirement: New commercial tenants or changed uses require an updated District of Maple Ridge business licence — we include this coordination in our project timeline.

Business Continuity During Maple Ridge Commercial Renovation

Many Maple Ridge commercial renovations involve owner-operated businesses that need to stay open during construction:

  • Phased construction: Complete and open one portion before starting the next — used on retail floor plates and large open-plan offices
  • Off-hours scheduling: Demolition, concrete cutting, and dust work scheduled outside business hours; Maple Ridge commercial zones have fewer noise-restriction complexities than Vancouver's mixed-use corridors
  • Temporary dust + noise barriers: Poly walls and negative-air machines isolate construction from open areas and adjacent tenants in multi-tenant buildings

We had a great experience renovating our 30-year-old townhouse with Reno Star (Ryan and Chen). The project took about two months and the results exceeded our expectations. Ryan was very responsive and transparent with pricing, and even helped us work within our budget. Chen was incredibly dedicated and would respond to messages even late at night, which made the whole process much easier for us. As a busy working family with a young child, we really appreciated how smooth and stress-free the renovation was. Highly recommend Reno Star if you’re looking for a reliable renovation team in Greater Vancouver area.

Angela Lu4 months ago

Reno Star recently updated our master bathroom with a new shower enclosure and bathtub, and we’re very satisfied with their service. The team was professional and efficient, and we loved using the new shower for the first time yesterday—great quality and finish. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions About Maple Ridge Renovations

Yes, finishing walkout basements is a specialty in Maple Ridge, where many Silver Valley and Albion properties sit on sloped lots with natural grade access. Walkout basements offer abundant natural light through full-height windows, dramatically improving livability compared to standard below-grade spaces. Our scope includes exterior waterproofing at the walkout door threshold, drainage improvements around the exposed foundation wall, framing, insulation, electrical, bathroom rough-in plumbing, and premium LVP or tile flooring. City of Maple Ridge permits are required for any basement renovation involving a new bathroom, suite conversion, or structural modification. Walkout suites in Silver Valley and Albion attract strong rental demand given their light and independent access. Free quote available.

Bathroom renovations in Maple Ridge typically range from $15,000–$22,000 for a standard 3-piece renovation — tiled shower, new vanity, toilet, exhaust fan, and updated lighting. A 4-piece renovation adding a soaker tub or tub-shower combo runs $20,000–$28,000. A master ensuite with heated floors, walk-in tiled shower, double vanity, and frameless glass starts at $28,000–$35,000+. Albion homeowners in homes built 1988–1995 should budget for a Poly-B plumbing assessment, as replacement during renovation adds $3,000–$8,000 if pipes are present. Multi-bathroom packages across two or three rooms provide the lowest cost per bathroom. Free quotes available within 48 hours.

Yes, we handle all permit applications for Maple Ridge renovations. The City of Maple Ridge requires building permits for structural changes, plumbing and electrical work, suite conversions, and egress window installations. Our team prepares complete permit packages including site plans, scope descriptions, and contractor credentials, and submits them to the City of Maple Ridge Building Department. Standard residential permits typically process in 2–3 weeks. Secondary suite conversions may require zoning confirmation before permit issuance. We coordinate all required inspections — framing, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, insulation, and final — so you don't need to track inspection windows yourself.

Yes, we serve all of Maple Ridge including the more rural areas of Whonnock, Webster's Corners, and Thornhill. Larger rural properties often have unique renovation opportunities — garage conversions to suites, workshop additions, whole-house exterior upgrades, and large-format kitchen renovations. Properties in or near the Agricultural Land Reserve may have restrictions on structure expansion; we confirm land-use status before finalizing scope. We bring all materials and equipment to site regardless of access. Septic systems on rural lots are assessed for capacity before adding new bathroom fixtures to ensure code compliance.

Yes. While our showroom is in Richmond, we serve Maple Ridge regularly. The Lougheed Highway and Golden Ears Bridge give our team direct routing with minimal travel time. Maple Ridge's larger single-family lots — especially in Silver Valley, Albion, and Thornhill — benefit from basement finishing, kitchen expansions, and bathroom modernization. We schedule site visits typically within 48–72 hours of inquiry and manage project logistics efficiently across the distance. Most Maple Ridge projects are within a 45-minute drive of our operations base.

Kitchen renovations in Maple Ridge typically cost $22,000–$32,000 for a standard semi-custom replacement with shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, backsplash, and LED lighting. A countertop and backsplash refresh with existing cabinets starts at $14,000–$22,000. Adding a kitchen island brings costs to $30,000–$42,000. Estate-tier renovations with custom cabinetry and waterfall islands run $40,000–$50,000+. Silver Valley and Albion newer homes are often at the first semi-custom upgrade point. Older Haney homes may require knob-and-tube wiring assessment before kitchen electrical work. Free quotes available for all Maple Ridge kitchen projects.

A bathroom renovation in Maple Ridge typically takes 2–4 weeks for a standard 3-piece or 4-piece scope — demolition, waterproofing, tile, vanity, toilet, and fixtures. Ensuite renovations with curbless showers, heated floors, and frameless glass take 4–6 weeks. City of Maple Ridge permits for bathroom renovations with plumbing changes typically process in 2–3 weeks — we submit before demo day. Albion and Silver Valley homes built 1988–1995 may have Poly-B plumbing supply lines worth assessing during any bathroom renovation. We provide a detailed project schedule at your free consultation and coordinate all required inspections throughout the build.

Basement renovation costs in Maple Ridge range from $25,000–$40,000 for basic finishing (flooring, paint, and ceiling) to $45,000–$65,000 for a finished space with a bathroom addition. A one-bedroom legal suite with kitchen, bathroom, and separate entrance typically costs $65,000–$85,000. Two-bedroom legal suite conversions run $85,000–$115,000. Maple Ridge's large-lot single-family homes — particularly in Silver Valley and Albion — often have walkout or daylight basements that provide excellent natural light and separate access for suite conversions. City of Maple Ridge permits for basement suite conversions require a zoning confirmation before permit issuance.

Basement renovation timelines in Maple Ridge depend on scope. A basic finish (flooring, paint, and ceiling) runs 3–5 weeks. Adding a bathroom extends the timeline to 5–8 weeks. A one-bedroom legal suite — with kitchen, bathroom, separate entrance, and fire separation — takes 8–12 weeks of construction. A two-bedroom legal suite runs 12–16 weeks. City of Maple Ridge planning requires a zoning confirmation before permit issuance, so factor in 3–5 weeks for permit review after submitting. Maple Ridge's large-lot Silver Valley and Albion homes with walkout or daylight basements often have separate access and good ceiling height, helping keep timelines at the shorter end of each range.

Kitchen renovation timelines in Maple Ridge benefit from some of Metro Vancouver's fastest permit processing. City of Maple Ridge processes standard residential kitchen renovation permits in 2–4 weeks — among the quickest in the region. Permits are required when moving the sink or dishwasher, adding or relocating electrical circuits, or making structural wall changes. Cabinet replacement, countertop swaps, backsplash tile, and appliance replacement (like-for-like) don't require a permit. Active kitchen construction runs 3–5 weeks for a full mid-range renovation. Albion townhouses require strata approval (3–5 weeks) before the City permit can be applied for. Total timeline: 6–10 weeks for most Maple Ridge kitchen renovations.

Maple Ridge allows secondary suites in most single-family residential zones. Converting an unfinished basement to a legal suite costs $65,000–$95,000 (8–10 weeks); converting a finished basement runs $45,000–$70,000 (6–8 weeks). A cosmetic refresh of an existing suite starts at $20,000–$35,000. A building permit is required—fees are based on the project’s construction value. The suite must have its own entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, and meet BC Building Code fire-separation standards. Reno Stars provides free estimates for Maple Ridge basement suite conversions.

Maple Ridge offers some of the most cost-effective pre-sale renovation opportunities in Metro Vancouver, thanks to larger lots, older housing stock, and lower permit fees. The key insight: Maple Ridge buyers are practical and over-discount unrenovated properties. A kitchen with dated oak cabinets and laminate countertops in a $900K-$1.4M Albion home isn't a minor issue to buyers -- it's a $40,000-$70,000 mental discount they subtract from their offer. A kitchen cabinet refresh with quartz countertops ($10,000-$18,000) adds $20,000-$40,000 in sale value (160-200% ROI). Primary bathroom renovation ($15,000-$28,000) adds $28,000-$50,000. Silver Valley and Albion neighbourhoods show the strongest renovation returns.

Choosing the right renovation contractor in Maple Ridge starts with verifying BC licensing. All contractors performing work over $1,000 must be registered with Consumer Protection BC. They should carry general liability insurance of at least $2 million per occurrence and WorkSafeBC coverage for all workers on your project — if an uninsured worker is injured on your property, you as the homeowner may be liable. Get at least 3 written quotes and compare them carefully: a lower quote often excludes permits, demolition, or disposal. Ask for references from 3-5 recent projects similar to yours in scope and location. Did the project finish on time and on budget? Were there surprise charges? Would they hire the contractor again? A real project portfolio with actual completed photos is a strong signal of credibility.

In Maple Ridge and across Metro Vancouver — where annual rainfall averages 1,155mm — moisture resistance is the most important flooring consideration. For most homes, LVP (luxury vinyl plank) is the practical winner: it's 100% waterproof, installs at $5-$10/sqft, and performs well in kitchens, basements, and ground-floor suites. Engineered hardwood ($9-$17/sqft installed) is better for main living areas where resale value and aesthetics are the priority — it handles humidity better than solid hardwood but still isn't recommended for basements or areas near exterior doors. Solid hardwood ($12-$21/sqft) is the prestige choice but worst for moisture and should be avoided in any room exposed to Vancouver's humidity. Laminate is the budget option for low-traffic dry areas but rarely recommended for Maple Ridge kitchens or main floors.

Yes. We handle both residential and commercial renovations across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Our commercial work in Maple Ridge includes office fit-outs, retail space transformations, restaurant renovations, medical and dental clinics, and tenant improvements. Maple Ridge's downtown Haney core, the Albion industrial area, and the Lougheed Highway corridor have consistent commercial renovation demand as the community grows. Commercial properties near the Golden Ears Bridge and in the Pitt Meadows airport area also form part of our service footprint. Commercial renovation permits in Maple Ridge are issued by the District of Maple Ridge — processing times and fee schedules depend on project scope and construction value.
