A whole home renovation in Burnaby is the most comprehensive way to transform your existing property — updating every room, every surface, and every system to match how your family lives today. Speera Custom Homes manages complete home renovations with the same turnkey approach we bring to new construction: one team, one contract, one point of contact from design to final walkthrough.

Speera Custom Homes builds custom homes, duplexes, and multiplexes across Burnaby, and provides full renovation services for existing homes. We're familiar with Burnaby's R1, R2, and R3 zones, the city's SSMUH implementation, and its specific multiplex and duplex design requirements — including unit count, parking, and lot coverage rules that vary from neighbouring municipalities.

Local Knowledge

Whole Home Renovation in Burnaby: What to Know

Under BC's Bill 44 (SSMUH), most Burnaby single-family lots now allow 4–6 units as of right. The City of Burnaby has updated its zoning bylaw to align with the provincial minimums and continues to permit secondary suites and coach houses on most residential lots, alongside its own multiplex and duplex design guidelines.

Burnaby's diverse neighbourhoods — from Capitol Hill to Metrotown — offer strong opportunities for custom home construction, multiplex and duplex infill development, and whole-home renovation. Burnaby's central location, SkyTrain access, and strong rental demand make multi-unit construction especially attractive on qualifying lots.

We work throughout Burnaby, including: Capitol Hill, Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, Highgate, Sullivan Heights. View all Burnaby services →

FAQ

Whole Home Renovation in Burnaby: Common Questions

Look for a contractor who holds design, permits, and every trade under a single contract rather than coordinating between separate subcontractors. Ask about their experience with the City of Burnaby permit process specifically, and — depending where your home sits — about Burnaby's tree protection requirements and working on sloped lots, both of which come up here more than in flatter municipalities.

It can, and it is worth checking early. Burnaby has notably strict tree protection requirements, and work that removes a protected tree or disturbs the root protection zone around one generally requires a permit and often replacement planting. This most commonly affects projects involving excavation, additions, or heavy equipment access along the side of a house. We identify affected trees during site assessment rather than at the point the excavator arrives.

In sloped areas such as Capitol Hill, Burnaby Mountain, and parts of North Burnaby, work involving excavation, foundation modification, or significant structural change may require geotechnical review, and site drainage needs deliberate attention. On the other hand, slope is often an asset — it can make a walkout lower level achievable in a way a flat lot never would.

For most whole-home renovations we recommend relocating during active construction, both for safety and to let trades work efficiently. We plan the schedule to keep displacement as short as practical and communicate milestones clearly so you know when it is realistic to return. Your project-specific schedule is provided at your free consultation.
