Poly-B Pipe Replacement in Vancouver

Absolutely. We handle all permit applications for Vancouver renovation projects, including electrical, plumbing, and structural permits. Our team is experienced with City of Vancouver building codes, heritage regulations, and strata requirements. We manage the entire permitting process so you can focus on choosing your finishes while we ensure full compliance.

Kitchen renovations in Vancouver range from $14,000 for a basic refresh to $72,000 for a premium custom kitchen with high-end appliances. A mid-range renovation with quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and updated lighting typically costs $25,000–$40,000. We provide free written quotes with detailed line items so you know exactly what you are paying for.

We serve all Vancouver neighbourhoods including Downtown, Yaletown, Coal Harbour, West End, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Fairview, Kerrisdale, Dunbar, Point Grey, Marpole, Oakridge, South Cambie, East Vancouver, and more. We also handle condo renovations in high-rise buildings throughout the city with full strata coordination.

Timeline depends on the project scope: a bathroom renovation takes 2–4 weeks, a kitchen renovation 3–6 weeks, and a full basement suite 6–10 weeks. Condo renovations may take slightly longer due to strata-mandated construction hours (typically 8am–5pm weekdays). We provide a detailed project schedule before work begins.

Yes. Many Vancouver homes — especially in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, and Dunbar — have plaster walls and older framing. Our team has extensive experience with pre-war and mid-century homes, including proper demo of lath-and-plaster, structural assessment, and modern finishing while respecting original character.

Absolutely. We work within strata bylaws regularly across Vancouver — from Coal Harbour towers to Fairview walk-ups. We handle strata approval submissions, coordinate building access and elevator bookings, respect quiet hours, and manage noise and dust containment. We carry $5M liability insurance which most stratas require.

Poly-B (polybutylene) was used in Vancouver-area homes built between 1985 and 1997. The pipes are usually grey or beige plastic, branded with markings like "PB-2110" or "QEST". If your home is from that era and has plastic supply lines, there is a good chance some or all of the plumbing is Poly-B.

Most BC insurers will not pay to replace functioning Poly-B, but they will deny renewal or hike premiums until you replace it. We provide insurer-ready documentation after the Vancouver project completes — pressure test results, BC permit, PEX warranty — so you can return to your insurer for renewal at standard rates.

Yes. We re-pipe section by section so you have water restored at the end of each working day. Plan for short shut-offs (2-4 hours) when each fixture group is connected over to PEX. We coordinate timing with you in advance.
