Home renovation services in Vancouver and the Comox Valley
Thoughtful, fixed‑price design‑build renovations for homeowners who want clarity on budget, creative design, and a home that works for the long term.
Our services
Full home renovations are where our design‑build approach really shines.
Little Star Renovations specializes in complete transformations where we rethink your home as a whole — flow, function, finishes, and future plans — rather than tackling disconnected one‑off projects.
With full home design‑build renovations, you get:
- One integrated team from first sketch to final walkthrough
- A design‑first renovation process that aligns dreams and budget on paper
- A fixed‑price renovation contract based on a detailed scope of work
- Careful project management so you’re not juggling trades and decisions on your own
During the design phase, we:
- Map how you actually use your home (now and in the future)
- Rework layouts to improve flow, natural light, and storage
- Coordinate kitchen, bathroom, basement, and exterior plans so everything feels cohesive
- Price‑check ideas as we go, so there are no surprises when we get to quoting
This is a great fit if:
- You’re committed to your home for the long term
- You’re ready to invest at least $100,000 and often much more
- You want one design‑build renovation team in Vancouver to handle everything — not separate designers, contractors, and project managers
Kitchens are the heart of most homes — and one of the biggest drivers of day‑to‑day enjoyment and resale value.
Our kitchen renovation services include:
- Functional floor plan layouts that improve flow, storage, and sightlines
- Appliance placement that works with how you cook and entertain
- Cabinetry design, lighting, and surfaces chosen for both durability and feel
- Integration with adjacent spaces so your kitchen feels like part of a bigger plan
We approach kitchen renovations as part of a holistic home, not just a quick cosmetic facelift. That might mean:
- Opening up walls between kitchen, dining, and living spaces
- Reworking window or door locations to bring in more light
- Coordinating finishes with the rest of your main floor or full home renovation
If you’re searching for renovation services in Vancouver for a kitchen remodel that balances beauty, practicality, and budget clarity, our fixed‑price, design‑first model keeps you in control from the start.
Bathrooms may be small, but they’re complex — plumbing, waterproofing, ventilation, tile, and fixtures all need to work together.
Our bathroom renovation services cover:
- Complete bathroom gut‑and‑rebuilds (not just surface updates)
- Spa‑like ensuite designs and hard‑working family bathrooms
- Smart storage, lighting, and ventilation so the space feels fresh and easy to maintain
- Materials and layouts that handle real‑life daily use
Typical investment:
- A full bathroom renovation usually starts around $30,000–$40,000 and goes up from there depending on size, layout changes, and finish level.
We’re upfront about costs, options, and trade‑offs, so you can make informed decisions about where to splurge and where to save.
Whether part of a full home renovation in Vancouver or a focused bathroom remodeling project, we design bathrooms that feel good to use every single day.
Basements in Vancouver and the Comox Valley are often underused — dark storage spaces, awkward rooms, or unfinished areas that could be doing much more.
We help you turn that square footage into:
- Legal or informal basement suites
- Family media rooms and play spaces
- Guest bedrooms and bathrooms
- Home offices, gyms, or hobby spaces
With basement renovations, we pay close attention to:
- Zoning and bylaws for suites and secondary units
- Moisture control, insulation, and soundproofing for comfort
- Ceiling heights, lighting, and layout so the space feels like the rest of your home
- Separate entries, laundry, and storage when creating income‑generating suites
Our design‑build renovations in Vancouver often include basements as part of a larger full home renovation plan, but we also take on standalone basement projects that meet our minimum project size and scope.
Sometimes you don’t just need a remodel — you need more space.
Our home additions and structural alteration services include:
- Rear and side additions
- Second‑storey or partial second‑storey additions (where feasible)
- Removing or reconfiguring load‑bearing walls
- Structural upgrades to support new layouts and open‑concept plans
With structural work, safety and engineering are non‑negotiable. We:
- Work with engineers and local building departments to ensure compliance
- Respect your home’s existing architecture so additions look intentional, not tacked on
- Carefully plan phasing to minimize disruption where possible
If you’re exploring full home renovations in Vancouver that involve bigger changes to your footprint or structure, our design‑build team helps you understand what’s achievable — and what it will realistically cost — before you commit.
Vancouver and the Comox Valley are full of older homes with great bones, quirks, and a lot of charm — and they often need thoughtful updating.
Our character and heritage house renovation services focus on:
- Preserving original details like trim, windows, staircases, and built‑ins where possible
- Improving layouts for modern living (open kitchens, better bathrooms, more storage)
- Updating electrical, plumbing, and insulation for safety and efficiency
- Respecting historical character while bringing in light, comfort, and better flow
Older homes come with surprises. Our design‑first renovation process helps anticipate many of them, and our honest communication keeps you in the loop if we uncover something unexpected.
If you’re looking for design-build renovations in Vancouver that truly understand character homes, we’ve renovated many of them — and we know how to balance preservation with practicality.
Renovating condos, apartments, and lofts in Vancouver is a different game than working on detached houses.
Our condo and apartment renovation services include:
- Full interior remodels (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, built‑ins)
- Smart layouts for compact spaces with storage everywhere it can reasonably go
- Loft conversions and mezzanine planning within building constraints
- Coordination with strata for approvals, bylaws, and work hours
We’re familiar with:
- Strata rules and documentation requirements
- Building‑level mechanical and structural limitations
- Noise, access, and elevator/logistics planning
Our design and project management team helps navigate all of that, so your condo renovation feels organized and predictable instead of like a fight with your building.
Your exterior sets the tone for your home — and in the Pacific Northwest, it also has to stand up to real weather.
As part of larger home renovation services in Vancouver and the Comox Valley, we offer:
- Decks and outdoor living spaces
- Exterior trim and detailing
- Entryways, front steps, and curb‑appeal upgrades
- Integrated exterior lighting and landscape coordination
Roofing and siding are typically handled as part of broader full home renovations, not as standalone services. This way, we can make sure exterior work ties into the overall design, budget, and long‑term plan for your home.
All services include:
Design is where we eliminate guesswork.
Little Star Design House is our in‑house design studio, working hand‑in‑hand with our renovation team. Many clients start with design only, then move into construction once they see a clear, fixed‑price plan.
Our design services include:
- Space planning and functional floor plans
- Kitchen and bathroom layouts
- Product and material selections (cabinets, counters, tile, flooring, fixtures, lighting)
- Elevations, 3D visuals (where appropriate), and construction‑ready drawings
- Cohesive design concepts that tie your whole home together
As we design, we’re also:
- Checking costs against your target budget
- Flagging areas where small layout changes could save significant money
- Making sure the design is buildable within Vancouver and Comox Valley codes
Because design and construction teams are on the same side of the table, 8 out of 10 of our design clients move on to the build phase with us.
Great design and a solid price don’t mean much without strong execution.
Project management is a core part of our renovation services:
- Scheduling and coordinating multiple trades
- Sequencing work to keep the project moving efficiently
- Quality control and site supervision
- Regular check‑ins and proactive communication
You’ll also have access to our BuilderTrend client portal, where you can:
- View your project calendar and milestones
- Approve or decline change orders
- Track project finances in real time
- See progress photos and updates
Milestone‑based payments are linked to productivity and defined stages of work, giving you transparency and control while your Vancouver home renovation is underway.
Permits and strata approvals can feel like their own full‑time job. We handle that side of things so you don’t have to.
We regularly work with:
- City of Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and surrounding municipalities
- Comox Valley Regional District and local cities/towns
- Strata councils and property managers for condos, apartments, and townhomes
Our team can:
- Prepare and submit building permit applications
- Coordinate drawings, engineering, and documents required by the city
- Help gather and submit strata approval packages
- Respond to typical requests for clarification
This support is included as part of our larger renovation services and design‑build renovations Vancouver projects, helping reduce delays and administrative stress.
