Home Renovation in Port Moody
Jordan Lane General Contracting renovates homes in Port Moody, at the head of Burrard Inlet. We work in detached houses on Heritage Mountain, College Park and Glenayre, in the older streets of Moody Centre, and in the townhomes and condos around Newport Village, Suter Brook and Klahanie.
Port Moody homes come in every form, and each one needs a different approach to a kitchen or bathroom renovation. We plan the job around the building, handle the trades and approvals, and finish it to the standard behind our HAVAN Award. We are licensed and insured, and our office is in North Vancouver.

An Open Kitchen and Living Space Like Port Moody Homes Need
Our North Shore Living project shows the kind of main floor update that suits a lot of Port Moody houses and townhomes. The kitchen became a peninsula that opens to the dining area, with shaker cabinets, quartz counters and a painted glass backsplash. The hardwood was refinished through the space, the living room got a marble ledgestone fireplace, and the bathroom was rebuilt to match.
This project is on the North Shore, not in Port Moody. We include it because it is the same scale and style of renovation that Port Moody owners most often ask about. More of the project, and the rest of our work, is in the gallery.

Our Port Moody Renovation Services
Port Moody has more townhomes and condos than most of the places we work, so a good share of our jobs here are inside strata buildings. Those projects are about getting the most out of a fixed footprint. In the detached houses up the hillsides, owners are more likely to want walls moved and whole floors redone.
We run both kinds of job ourselves as general contractor.

Whole floor and whole house renovations in Port Moody houses and larger townhomes, from new layouts and kitchens to flooring, stairs, lighting and finishing.

Renovating in Port Moody's Mix of Homes
Strata homes make up a large part of Port Moody, especially near the Evergreen Line stations at Inlet Centre and Moody Centre and in the waterfront complexes along the inlet. A strata renovation starts with the bylaws: most councils want a written request, the contractor's insurance and a work schedule before they approve, and many limit noisy work to set hours. Changes to plumbing, venting or anything that touches common property usually need extra approval. We put that request together with you so the job can start on a known date.
Up the slopes on Heritage Mountain, College Park and Glenayre, houses from the 1970s to the 1990s sit on steep, treed lots with long driveways and stairs. Access shapes how materials arrive and where waste bins can go. In Moody Centre, some of the oldest houses in the city need a closer look at wiring, plumbing and framing before finishes go on. Building permits are issued by the City of Port Moody.
Our Process
How a Port Moody Project Runs
For a strata home the approvals come first; for a house, access and structure do. Either way we sort them out before demolition.
Step 01
Site visit
We measure, look at the building and access, and read through any strata rules with you.
Step 02
Quote
A written, itemised quote with allowances for finishes and a clear list of what is included.
Step 03
Approvals
Strata approval and insurance documents for condos and townhomes; a City of Port Moody permit where the work requires it.
Step 04
Construction
Protection of common areas and your remaining rooms, demolition, rough ins, inspections and finishing.
Step 05
Completion
A final walkthrough, the deficiency list closed out, and warranty documents handed over.
Cost
Port Moody Renovation Costs
For condos and townhomes, cost is shaped as much by the building as by the finishes: limited work hours, elevator or stair access, and rules about plumbing and venting all affect how long the job takes. For houses on the hillside, access, structure and the age of the systems carry more weight.
We quote after a visit, itemise the work, list the finish allowances and price changes before they are built. These are the cost factors we see most often in Port Moody.
- Strata rules on work hours, access and common property
- Access on steep lots and long driveways
- Opening a kitchen to the living space
- Cabinet, counter and tile selections
- Updating older wiring and plumbing in Moody Centre houses
- Bathroom count and whether drains move
FAQ
Port Moody Renovation Questions
Common questions from Port Moody homeowners, townhome owners and condo owners.
Do you renovate townhomes and condos in Port Moody?
Yes. Much of our Port Moody work is inside strata homes. We follow the strata's rules, provide insurance and schedules, and help you prepare the approval request.
Can I open up the kitchen in my Port Moody townhome?
Often, yes. It depends on whether the wall is structural and what runs through it. We check on the first visit and, if it is a strata home, include the approval in the plan.
Do you work on Heritage Mountain and in College Park?
Yes. We renovate houses across Port Moody, including the hillside neighbourhoods and the older streets of Moody Centre.
How long does a Port Moody kitchen renovation take?
A kitchen in the same footprint typically takes several weeks of construction once cabinets are on site. Strata approvals and permits can add time before work starts, which we build into the schedule.
