Kitchen Renovations for Burnaby Heights Homes
Burnaby Heights, known as the Heights, is built around the shops and cafes of Hastings Street, with Confederation Park nearby and views to the North Shore mountains.
The streets are lined with houses from the 1930s to the 1960s, many with their kitchens still closed off at the back. Owners here want light and a connection to the garden, while keeping some of the home’s character.
Many houses in Burnaby Heights were built between the 1940s and the 1980s, and their kitchens show it: closed off from the dining room, short on outlets and lit by a single fixture. These are the most rewarding kitchens to renovate, because a better layout changes how the whole main floor works.
In older homes we plan the permits and safety checks before demolition. The City of Burnaby treats taking down or building walls as an alteration that needs a permit, plumbing and electrical changes need trade permits, and WorkSafeBC requires a qualified person to check for hazardous materials such as asbestos before renovation work starts.

What Burnaby Heights Kitchens Usually Need

Garden-facing layouts
Moving the sink or adding a window seat where the walls allow.
How a Kitchen Project Runs in Burnaby Heights
Heights kitchens often sit at the back of the house, next to a garden that the kitchen barely sees. A good renovation here usually means bigger windows or a wider opening to the dining room, a sink placed where the view is, and finishes that suit an older home: Shaker or slab doors in warm colours, a tiled backsplash and simple brass or black hardware.

FAQ
Kitchen Renovation in Burnaby Heights: Questions
Do I need a permit to renovate a kitchen in Burnaby Heights?
It depends on the scope. Replacing cabinets, fixtures and flooring doesn’t need a City of Burnaby permit, but taking down walls does, and plumbing, gas or electrical changes in a house need trade permits.
Will my Burnaby Heights home need asbestos testing?
If walls, ceilings or flooring will be disturbed, WorkSafeBC requires a qualified person to check for hazardous materials before the work starts. Homes built before about 1990 are the most likely to have them.
Can you open my Burnaby Heights kitchen to the dining room?
Usually. Load-bearing walls need an engineered beam and a permit, and any pipes or ducts inside the wall are rerouted. We check before we design.
