Homes we work in around Coquitlam
Coquitlam and the rest of the Tri-Cities are family-home territory: 70s and 80s houses in Ranch Park and Austin Heights, new builds on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau, and towers filling in around Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam.
The 1970s and 80s homes in Ranch Park, Harbour Chines and Austin Heights usually still have the original bathroom behind the tile: a mortar-bed shower or a tub surround on drywall, with framing that has moved since it was built. A renovation here starts with demolition to the studs, correcting the substrate, then rebuilding the wet area as a complete Schluter system before any tile goes on.
The Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau builds and the newer townhomes across Port Coquitlam bring different questions. The rooms are bigger and the tile is larger, so flatness and lippage control matter more than substrate repair. Curbless showers, linear drains and large-format porcelain are the usual asks, and each one needs the slope and the waterproofing planned before the framing is closed.
In the Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam towers, the renovation is as much logistics as tile. Strata approval, elevator bookings, noise hours and protecting the common areas all get planned up front, and the shower assembly is built to keep water out of the unit below.

FAQ
Common questions in Coquitlam.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in Coquitlam?
Tile work on its own doesn't need one. Moving plumbing, changing electrical or altering walls usually does, through the City of Coquitlam, or Port Coquitlam and Port Moody for those addresses. We'll tell you which parts of your scope are likely to need a permit before you commit to anything, and confirm with the city where it isn't clear.
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Coquitlam?
A full bathroom typically runs three to five weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, with the tile portion taking one to two of those. Custom stone, curbless showers and heated floors add time. We'll give you a real schedule after the site visit, not a guess over the phone.
What does a bathroom renovation cost in Coquitlam?
It depends on size, fixtures and how much of the assembly has to be rebuilt, so treat any number before a site visit as a ballpark. Our note on bathroom renovation costs walks through what moves the price. A quote after seeing the room is the real answer.
