Stylish Kitchen Renovation with White Cabinets and Gold Handles
This kitchen renovation in West Vancouver was designed for an Airbnb investment property, balancing visual appeal with durability for short-term rental use. The project included complete cabinet replacement with white shaker doors and gold handles that photograph beautifully. Under-cabinet LED strip lighting creates warm ambient illumination for cooking and guest photos. The entire home received fresh paint in neutral tones for a cohesive backdrop. The optimized layout maximizes counter space while maintaining an open, welcoming feel that appeals to Airbnb guests worldwide.
Make One Into Two Bathroom Renovation with Custom Cabinets
This West Vancouver project took one oversized single bathroom and divided it into two fully independent, code-compliant spaces — each with its own plumbing rough-in, dedicated lighting circuit, and ventilation. The renovation required framing a new partition wall, running separate supply and drain lines to each bathroom, and obtaining the required building and plumbing permits from the District of West Vancouver. Both bathrooms were finished with floor-to-ceiling wall tiles, custom wood grain vanity cabinets, and modern ceiling trim to give each space a complete, high-quality finish. All rough-in and finish work passed government inspection. Total budget: $57,000–$60,000. Timeline: 9–11 weeks from permit issuance to final walk-through.
About West Vancouver
Reno Stars provides premium renovation services throughout West Vancouver — from the waterfront estates of Dundarave and Ambleside to the hillside homes of British Properties, Caulfeild, and Cypress Park. West Vancouver is home to some of Metro Vancouver's most distinctive and valuable properties, and our team brings the precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that high-end renovations demand.
Luxury bathroom renovations are our signature West Vancouver service. We specialize in spa-inspired designs featuring heated porcelain tile floors, curbless showers with linear drains, freestanding soaker tubs, custom vanities with integrated LED mirrors, and premium fixtures from brands like Kohler, Grohe, and Hansgrohe. Our West Vancouver bathroom projects range from $35,000 for a guest bath refresh to $60,000+ for a master ensuite transformation — as demonstrated by our recent project converting one bathroom into two elegant spaces.
Kitchen renovations in West Vancouver often involve opening up floor plans to capture ocean and mountain views. We regularly remove or modify load-bearing walls (with engineer-stamped designs), install floor-to-ceiling windows, and create dramatic open-concept kitchens with waterfall islands, integrated appliance columns, and custom cabinetry in premium finishes. Our West Vancouver kitchen projects typically range from $29,000 to $75,000 depending on scope and materials.
The District of West Vancouver's building department has specific requirements for hillside construction, drainage management, and tree preservation that affect renovation projects. We are familiar with the permit process and maintain strong relationships with local inspectors. For properties in the British Properties or other areas with restrictive covenants, we ensure all renovations comply with both municipal requirements and community guidelines.
West Vancouver's older homes — many built in the 1960s–70s as modernist masterpieces by architects like Arthur Erickson and Ron Thom — present exciting restoration opportunities. We've refreshed mid-century modern homes with period-appropriate materials while adding contemporary comfort: updated insulation, new windows that match the original proportions, and modern mechanical systems hidden within the original design.
Our 3D rendering service helps West Vancouver homeowners visualize their renovation before construction begins. We create photorealistic renderings of kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces so you can see exactly how materials and layouts will look in your home. Every project includes a 3-year workmanship warranty and a detailed written quote.

## District of West Vancouver Permit Costs (2026)
The District of West Vancouver calculates permit fees based on construction value. Residential renovation permits typically cost $400–$1,200 for projects in the $30,000–$80,000 value range. Hillside properties — which covers most of West Vancouver — may require a geotechnical engineer's assessment for any work affecting slopes, drainage, or retaining structures; budget $1,500–$3,500 for this review when applicable. Current permit processing times are 4–8 weeks for standard residential projects. Properties in covenant-controlled areas (British Properties, Cypress Park, Caulfeild) require covenant compliance review before permit issuance.

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.
I am so happy we went with Ryan and Jasper for our renovation. Here is why they deserve 5 stars: Attention to Detail: Out of all the contractors I interviewed, they were the only ones to bring a tape measure to the estimate. This led to a very accurate quote and no financial surprises. Communication: They set up a group chat that kept us in the loop constantly. They were transparent and responsive the whole time. Flexibility: We made many changes during the process. The crew was patient, accommodating, and handled every request professionally. The Result: Our kitchen and bathrooms look stunning. The craftsmanship is amazing. If you are planning a renovation, look no further. Highly recommended!

Yes, we are experienced with the District of West Vancouver's specific requirements for hillside construction, including drainage management, tree preservation, and slope stability. We prepare all necessary permit documentation and work with geotechnical engineers when required. For properties in the British Properties with restrictive covenants, we ensure full compliance.
Many British Properties lots carry registered restrictive covenants governing building setbacks, height limits, and sometimes exterior materials and colours. These covenants primarily affect new construction and exterior modifications — interior renovations (kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces) are rarely restricted. Before any exterior modification, we recommend a title search to identify registered covenants. Our design team is experienced in covenant-compliant renovation scopes throughout West Vancouver.
West Vancouver renovation timelines run 10–15% longer than equivalent projects elsewhere in Metro Vancouver, due to longer permit processing times, hillside site logistics, and the higher complexity of custom and luxury work. A kitchen renovation typically takes 5–8 weeks; a primary bathroom renovation 4–7 weeks; a whole-house renovation 4–9 months depending on scope.
