Commercial Renovation Services in Langley

Reno Stars serves both the City of Langley and Township of Langley with full-service renovations — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, cabinet refacing, and whole-house projects. Langley's housing ranges from older single-family homes in the City core and Murrayville to newer townhouse and estate-home developments in Willoughby, Walnut Grove, and Brookswood-Fernridge. Each neighbourhood has its own renovation character, and our team has worked across all of them.

Kitchen renovations are our most requested service in Langley. Many homes built in the 2000s now need their first kitchen refresh — replacing builder-grade laminate countertops with quartz, upgrading to soft-close shaker cabinetry, and installing under-cabinet LED lighting. Our real Langley kitchen projects range from $20,000 (modern white shaker with quartz) to $35,000 (full custom with waterfall island and premium appliances). We bring samples to your home so you can see materials in your own lighting.

Basement renovations in Langley are especially popular for creating legal secondary suites. Township of Langley actively encourages suite development in certain zones, and we handle the full process from design to final inspection. A typical Langley basement suite conversion costs $40,000–$65,000 and can generate $1,500–$2,000/month in rental income — the ROI is excellent for homeowners looking to offset their mortgage.

Cabinet refacing is another high-demand service in Langley. Rather than a full kitchen renovation, refacing lets you update door fronts, drawer faces, and hardware while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. This saves 40–60% versus a full replacement and takes just 5–7 days with minimal disruption. We offer spray-painted, thermofoil, and solid-wood door options in dozens of colours and styles.

For Langley's rural and semi-rural properties in areas like Fort Langley, Campbell Valley, and south Brookswood, we also take on larger-scope projects including deck construction, garage conversions, and whole-house upgrades. Our team handles all permits through the Township and coordinates with utility providers as needed.

All Langley projects include a 3-year workmanship warranty, written quotes with no hidden fees, and free on-site estimates within 48 hours.
