Homes we work in around West Vancouver
West Vancouver is where the material usually leads: post-and-beam homes from the 50s and 60s being rebuilt, architect-designed waterfront houses, and finish schedules that specify the stone by name.
The 1950s and 60s post-and-beam homes in Altamont, Sentinel Hill and the British Properties 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.
Architect-designed rebuilds along the waterfront and up the hillside in the British Properties and Caulfeild 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 Ambleside and Dundarave low-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 West Vancouver.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in West Vancouver?
Tile work on its own doesn't need one. Moving plumbing, changing electrical or altering walls usually does, through the District of West Vancouver. 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 West 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 West 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.
