Homes we work in around North Vancouver
North Vancouver is two municipalities and one climate: postwar neighbourhoods on the flats, custom builds up the hillside, and rain that tests every wet area harder than anywhere else we work.
Postwar bungalows and split-levels in Lynn Valley, Norgate and Upper Lonsdale 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.
Hillside custom builds in Edgemont, Deep Cove and Blueridge 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 Lower Lonsdale and Central Lonsdale mid-rises, 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 North Vancouver.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in North Vancouver?
Tile work on its own doesn't need one. Moving plumbing, changing electrical or altering walls usually does, through the City or District of North Vancouver, depending on the address. 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 North Vancouver?
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 North Vancouver?
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.
