Kitchen Renovations for Cascade Heights Homes
Cascade Heights is an established residential neighbourhood in north-central Burnaby, with quiet streets of detached family homes.
Many houses date from the 1950s to the 1970s, with some newer rebuilds. Kitchens are typically closed-off and short on counter space, with original or once-updated cabinets.
Many houses in Cascade 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.

How a Kitchen Project Runs in Cascade Heights
In Cascade Heights, kitchen projects often grow from one complaint: not enough counter space, or no room for two people to cook. The fix is usually a better layout rather than a bigger room. Turning a closed galley into an L-shape with a peninsula, or adding an island where a wall comes out, changes how the whole main floor works.

FAQ
Kitchen Renovation in Cascade Heights: Questions
Do I need a permit to renovate a kitchen in Cascade 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 Cascade 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 Cascade 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.
