Total Renovations is a licensed residential contractor delivering complete exterior renovation services in Coquitlam BC — serving homeowners across Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Maillardville, Central Coquitlam, Austin Heights, Ranch Park, Eagle Ridge, Harbour Chines, and Scott Creek with fixed-price contracts, City of Coquitlam permit management, and expertise spanning the full range of housing eras that make Coquitlam one of Metro Vancouver's most architecturally diverse cities. As your renovation contractor in Coquitlam, we manage the complete exterior renovation scope — siding, roofing, windows, doors, decks, painting, and all permits — under one price with one dedicated project manager.

Coquitlam is BC's sixth-largest city and the Tri-Cities' most populous municipality — and its exterior renovation landscape is as diverse as its neighbourhoods. The city spans a dramatic elevation range from low-lying areas near the Coquitlam and Fraser Rivers to the exposed highlands of Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau, creating meaningfully different micro-climates across its communities. Burke Mountain's elevation and north-east exposure brings it more precipitation and wind than lower Coquitlam neighbourhoods. Westwood Plateau's hillside position channels wind across south and west-facing facades in ways that interior valley communities never experience. These elevation-driven differences in moisture load, wind exposure, and temperature cycling influence which exterior materials and installation details perform well in each Coquitlam community.

Coquitlam's housing stock is equally diverse — spanning nearly a full century of residential construction. Maillardville, established in the early 1900s as BC's first French-Canadian community, contains character homes that require exterior renovation contractors with sensitivity to heritage aesthetic and experience with the specific construction methods of that era. The post-war bungalows of Central Coquitlam and Ranch Park need exterior contractors for older homes with genuine experience assessing what decades of Pacific Northwest weather has done behind original cladding. And the executive homes of Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain call for the modern exterior remodeling precision that premium Coquitlam buyers expect. Total Renovations brings the expertise to serve all three contexts — and every housing era in between.

modern exterior remodeling coquitlam
Modern Exterior Remodeling Coquitlam
Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau represent Coquitlam's most active market for modern exterior remodeling — and the expectations buyers bring to these premium communities are genuinely high. Total Renovations delivers contemporary exterior renovation on Coquitlam's executive homes with the material and finish quality that the Tri-Cities' most discerning homeowners expect: Artisan and Reveal fibre cement panel systems that create the clean contemporary profiles characteristic of current West Coast residential design, architectural asphalt or standing seam metal roofing, fibreglass window suites with slimline sightlines and dark-frame aesthetic options, and multi-level composite deck systems that exploit the mountain and valley views that Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau properties command. Modern exterior remodeling in Coquitlam is a genuine investment in both lifestyle and property positioning — and Total Renovations delivers it under fixed-price contracts with City of Coquitlam permit management throughout.
exterior contractors for older homes coquitlam
Exterior Contractors for Older Homes Coquitlam
Coquitlam's older communities — Maillardville, Central Coquitlam, Ranch Park, Austin Heights, and Como Lake — contain a substantial concentration of 1940s through 1980s homes that require exterior renovation contractors with specific older home experience. These properties were built with original cedar siding, single-pane or early double-pane windows in aluminium frames, felt-and-tab roofing systems, and vapour barrier installations that are marginal by current standards. Forty to eighty years of Pacific Northwest weather in Coquitlam's high-rainfall environment takes a predictable toll: caulking failure allows moisture into wall assemblies, sheathing deteriorates beneath original cladding, and original windows lose thermal performance long before homeowners replace them. For Maillardville's character homes specifically, exterior renovation must also be sensitive to the neighbourhood's heritage aesthetic — the early twentieth-century architectural character that makes Maillardville BC's most historically distinctive residential community. Total Renovations brings specific expertise to older Coquitlam homes: thorough pre-contract assessment of underlying conditions, fixed-price contracts that account for what we find, and material selections that respect each neighbourhood's character.
siding replacement coquitlam bc
Siding Replacement Coquitlam BC
Siding replacement is the most transformative single exterior renovation investment available to Coquitlam homeowners — whether modernising a 1970s Ranch Park rancher with contemporary HardiePlank profiles, refreshing an Austin Heights mid-century bungalow with cedar-look engineered wood, or giving a Westwood Plateau executive home a premium Artisan fibre cement upgrade. Total Renovations installs fibre cement siding, engineered wood lap and panel, premium vinyl, and cedar accent products across Coquitlam's diverse housing stock. For Coquitlam's elevated communities — Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau — all siding installations include enhanced wind uplift fastening patterns and fully detailed rainscreen assemblies that protect against the wind-driven rain these hillside exposures experience. All siding replacement in Coquitlam includes City of Coquitlam permit management and a comprehensive written warranty.
roofing replacement coquitlam bc
Roofing Replacement Coquitlam BC
Coquitlam's elevation range creates meaningfully different roofing demands across the city. Burke Mountain's higher elevation and Coast Mountain proximity produces greater precipitation, windier conditions, and occasional snow loading that lower Coquitlam communities rarely encounter — making premium underlayment, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, and wind-rated shingles non-negotiable specifications for roofing replacement in Coquitlam's upper communities. Total Renovations installs architectural asphalt shingles with appropriate wind ratings, standing seam metal roofing for premium Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau properties, and cold-climate underlayment systems on all exposed elevations. For Coquitlam's older homes, roofing replacement frequently reveals deteriorated deck boards and compromised structure — conditions our crews address within the fixed-price scope so homeowners are never presented with unexpected charges after work has begun. All roofing projects include City of Coquitlam permit management where required.
windows doors replacement
Windows & Doors Replacement Coquitlam
Window replacement in Coquitlam serves two distinct markets that require different approaches. For Coquitlam's older homes — where original single-pane or early aluminium-frame windows are still in place — replacement with ENERGY STAR-certified triple-pane systems delivers transformative improvements in winter comfort, reduced heating costs, and elimination of the condensation on glass that damages window surrounds and promotes interior mould growth in high-humidity Pacific Northwest conditions. For Coquitlam's executive home market on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau, window replacement is a design-forward decision — premium fibreglass systems with slimline sightlines, dark exterior frames, and larger pane configurations that maximise the mountain and city views these properties command. Total Renovations supplies and installs across both markets, managing all City of Coquitlam permit requirements for structural opening modifications and integrating new window and door systems correctly into both existing and new cladding assemblies.
complete exterior remodel
Full Exterior Renovation Coquitlam BC
A full exterior renovation — coordinating siding, roofing, windows, doors, and deck under a single contract — delivers the most comprehensive transformation available to Coquitlam homeowners, and the most efficient approach for properties where multiple exterior systems need simultaneous replacement. For Coquitlam's older homes in Maillardville, Ranch Park, and Central Coquitlam, a full exterior renovation that addresses the entire building envelope simultaneously is almost always more cost-effective than sequential single-trade work — and the technical integration that comes from replacing all components together under one contractor ensures that flashing, waterproofing, and drainage details are correctly resolved throughout. Total Renovations manages the complete scope under one fixed price, one City of Coquitlam permit application, and one project manager responsible for every trade and inspection from start to final sign-off.
deck construction coquitlam bc
Deck Construction Coquitlam BC
Coquitlam's hillside communities — Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, and Eagle Ridge — offer some of Metro Vancouver's most spectacular residential views: North Shore mountains, the Fraser Valley, Burrard Inlet, and the city skyline. A well-designed deck on a Coquitlam hillside property is not merely an outdoor living extension — it is a framing device for one of the region's most compelling natural panoramas, and a feature that commands genuine premium at the time of sale. Total Renovations builds composite decking systems using Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon products that resist Pacific Northwest moisture, UV, and the temperature cycling Coquitlam's elevated communities experience without the ongoing maintenance burden of wood decks. Multi-level deck systems, pergola structures, and glass railing systems that maximise view lines are available as part of full exterior renovation scopes or as standalone custom exterior renovation projects in Coquitlam. All deck construction includes City of Coquitlam permit management.
exterior painting
Exterior Painting Coquitlam BC
Exterior painting is Coquitlam's most accessible exterior makeover option — and executed correctly, it delivers exceptional value across every neighbourhood from Maillardville to Burke Mountain. For older Coquitlam homes with wood siding substrates, proper surface preparation is the difference between a paint job that lasts a decade and one that fails in three years under Coquitlam's persistent wet season. Total Renovations uses premium elastomeric and mould-inhibiting exterior coatings suited to Metro Vancouver's wet climate, applies thorough surface preparation — power washing, scraping, sanding, spot priming, full caulking replacement at all joints and penetrations, and mould treatment where required — and delivers exterior painting results that hold up under Coquitlam's conditions. For older Coquitlam homes where paint failure is symptomatic of deeper cladding deterioration, we provide honest guidance during the free consultation on whether painting adequately addresses the actual condition or whether siding replacement is the correct long-term solution.
custom exterior renovation coquitlam
Custom Exterior Renovation Coquitlam
Custom exterior renovation in Coquitlam means different things in different communities — and Total Renovations approaches each custom project with the specific neighbourhood context in mind. On Burke Mountain, custom exterior renovation typically means a contemporary design statement: large-format fibre cement panel systems, dark-frame windows, standing seam metal accent roofing, and glass-railing decks that frame mountain views. In Maillardville, custom exterior renovation means working within the neighbourhood's heritage aesthetic — selecting profiles and material tones that honour the community's early twentieth-century character while delivering modern building performance. In Eagle Ridge and Harbour Chines, custom exterior renovation serves established executive homes with high-quality updates that maintain and enhance the property's competitive positioning in Coquitlam's premium housing market. Every custom exterior renovation in Coquitlam is delivered under a fixed price with all City of Coquitlam permits managed throughout.

How Your Coquitlam Exterior Renovation Works

divider

Whether you need modern exterior remodeling on Burke Mountain or a full exterior renovation on an older Maillardville home, every Coquitlam project follows our proven 4-step process designed to deliver the finished result on budget, on schedule, and to a quality standard that holds up in Metro Vancouver's wet climate:

1.
Free In-Home Consultation
We visit your Coquitlam home within 5 business days. For older homes, we inspect beneath cladding at accessible locations to assess substrate conditions.

2.
Detailed Fixed-Price Quote
Within 48 hours of the site visit, we deliver a comprehensive written exterior renovation quote covering all labour, materials, disposal, City of Coquitlam permit fees, and every scope item discussed. The price we quote is the price you pay — no escalation, no additions after signing.
3.
Permits & Trade Coordination
We submit all City of Coquitlam Building Department permit applications, manage plan review correspondence, schedule all field inspections, and coordinate every trade under one project manager so siders, roofers, window installers, deck builders, and painters work in the right sequence without conflicts or delays.
4.
Completion & Walk-Through
Your Coquitlam exterior renovation is completed to the agreed specification and schedule. We walk through every detail with you, address any deficiencies immediately, obtain all City of Coquitlam final permit sign-offs, and hand over your completed home with a written workmanship warranty.
Why Exterior Renovation in Coquitlam Demands Both Modern & Heritage Expertise

Few Metro Vancouver cities present as wide a range of exterior renovation contexts as Coquitlam. From Maillardville — BC's oldest French-Canadian settlement, with character homes approaching or exceeding a century in age — to the brand-new executive builds still under construction on Burke Mountain's upper slopes, Coquitlam's housing stock spans more construction eras than any other city of comparable size in the region. This diversity demands an exterior renovation contractor who can work with genuine competence across the full spectrum: heritage-sensitive exterior renovation on Maillardville's character homes, mid-century bungalow transformation in Ranch Park and Central Coquitlam, and modern exterior remodeling precision on Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain's executive properties.

Coquitlam's elevation diversity adds another dimension of local knowledge. Burke Mountain's upper slopes face north and east toward the Coast Mountains, receiving orographic precipitation amplification, prevailing wind from exposed quadrants, and occasional snow loading that lower Coquitlam communities rarely experience. Westwood Plateau's south-facing hillside position channels wind across building facades from directions that would not be significant concerns in sheltered lower neighbourhoods. Specifying siding fastening patterns, underlayment grades, and window weatherstripping performance correctly for these elevated exposures requires contractors with specific Coquitlam knowledge — not generic Metro Vancouver specifications applied without micro-climate consideration.

Coquitlam's real estate market adds the third dimension: the Tri-Cities is one of Metro Vancouver's fastest-growing housing markets, and exterior renovation ROI across the city's diverse neighbourhoods is among the strongest in the region. A well-executed modern exterior renovation on Burke Mountain competes directly with new builds in one of Canada's most active residential development zones. A complete exterior renovation on an older Ranch Park home transforms an ageing property into a competitive alternative to newer inventory at a fraction of the cost of moving up the market.

Exterior Renovation Permits in Coquitlam BC — What Homeowners Need to Know
Exterior renovation work in Coquitlam is regulated by the City of Coquitlam Development Services Department. Total Renovations manages every aspect of the Coquitlam permit process — from application preparation through final inspection sign-off — so homeowners never need to navigate the system themselves.
City of Coquitlam Building Permits
Exterior renovation requiring a City of Coquitlam permit includes siding replacement over structural components, window and door replacements altering rough openings, structural deck construction and replacement, and roofing work involving structural changes. Total Renovations prepares all applications, liaises with plan reviewers, and attends all field inspections on your behalf.
BC Energy Step Code Compliance
New wall and roof assemblies installed during exterior renovation in Coquitlam must meet BC Energy Step Code minimum requirements for Climate Zone 4. Total Renovations designs all new assemblies to meet or exceed current Step Code requirements, improving year-round thermal comfort and reducing heating costs in every Coquitlam home we renovate.
Hillside Development Considerations
Properties in Coquitlam's hillside communities — Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, and Eagle Ridge — may have specific geotechnical setback requirements and slope stability considerations that affect the siting and foundation design of new deck and structural additions. Total Renovations reviews hillside development requirements as part of every consultation on elevated Coquitlam properties.
Maillardville Heritage Overlay
Portions of Maillardville fall within the City of Coquitlam's Heritage Conservation Area designation, which applies design guidelines to exterior renovation work on properties within the overlay boundary. Total Renovations reviews heritage overlay applicability for every Maillardville project before design finalisation, identifying any additional design review requirements before permit application to avoid delays.
Rainscreen Assembly Requirements
Current BC Building Code guidelines and Coquitlam's Metro Vancouver climate conditions require a drained and vented rainscreen cavity behind new cladding installations. Total Renovations installs properly detailed rainscreen assemblies as standard practice on all Coquitlam siding replacement projects — the region's persistent rainfall demands it, and it is included at no extra charge.
Older Home Permit Triggers
Exterior renovation on Coquitlam's older homes may trigger requirements for electrical upgrades, knob-and-tube wire abatement in opened wall cavities, and insulation improvements to meet current code minimums when wall assemblies are opened. Total Renovations advises on likely triggered requirements during the consultation phase so Coquitlam homeowners are not surprised by additional regulatory work after construction has begun.

Why Coquitlam Homeowners Choose Total Renovations for Exterior Renovation

Coquitlam's diverse housing stock — spanning heritage character homes to brand-new executive builds — demands an exterior renovation company with equally broad expertise. Here is why Coquitlam homeowners across every neighbourhood consistently choose Total Renovations:
