Homes we work in around Burnaby
Burnaby splits between tower neighbourhoods at Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed and the detached streets of Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill and the South Slope, which means two very different kinds of tile job in one city.
Custom work in the 1950s and 60s bungalows in Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill and the South Slope starts with making the room true. Older homes have walls out of plumb and floors out of level, and a bookmatched wall or a geometric pattern shows every inch of that. We correct the substrate first, then set out the layout on paper so the pattern lands where the eye expects it.
Custom rebuilds around Deer Lake and Buckingham and the new townhomes near Edmonds are where most of our slab and large-format custom work happens: full-height bookmatched porcelain, marble slab showers with mitred niches, and floors that run continuous across the main level. The architecture leaves nowhere to hide a bad line, which is exactly why we get the call.
In the Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed towers, custom tile is usually a single statement: a feature wall, a slab shower, a mosaic floor in a powder room. We bring the same layout discipline at that scale, and handle the building logistics that come with working in a strata.

FAQ
Common questions in Burnaby.
What counts as custom tile work?
Anything where the layout has to be resolved before the first cut: bookmatching, a pattern that needs to centre on a fixture, mitred edges, mixed materials, or a designer drawing with dimensions on it. If the tile has to land in a specific place, it's custom.
Can you work from my designer's drawings in Burnaby?
Yes, and it's our preferred way to start. Resolved drawings mean we can plan the layout, the cuts and the transitions before the tile arrives. We'll flag anything on the drawing that the material or the room can't actually do, before it becomes a problem on site.
Is custom tile installation more expensive?
The material is usually the bigger difference. Labour runs higher too, because layout, cutting and setting take longer and the tile is often too expensive to waste. We price it after seeing the drawings and the room, and we'll tell you where the money is going.
