Burnaby
Burnaby's neighbourhoods are full of solid family homes built between the 1940s and 1980s: bungalows in Burnaby Heights, post-war ranchers, and generous split-levels on deep lots near Deer Lake and Royal Oak.

Built Well, Built for a
Different Era
These houses were built well, but built for a different era. Most of our Burnaby projects are about giving them a second life: whole-home renovations that open up compartmentalized floor plans, modernized kitchens and bathrooms, and basement conversions that add space for extended family or rental income.
For multigenerational households, common across Burnaby, we design renovations around how families actually share a home: separate entrances, sound isolation, and layouts that give everyone room of their own under one roof. It helps that Burnaby is one of the more permit-friendly municipalities we build in. In our experience approvals move efficiently here, so projects spend less time waiting and more time under construction.

Projects Across Burnaby
We rebuilt the structure beneath a suite entry in East Vancouver over two weeks in March, as part of the owner's suite legalization.
We replaced the aged rubberized driveway of a North Vancouver home near Edgemont Village with a new concrete driveway.
We rebuilt a deck over the garage of a Burnaby home after the original had failed.
It began as a fence that blew down in a storm and became a full exterior renovation when the fence turned out to be holding onto a rotting timber retaining wall, and the wall turned out to be holding up the neighbour's driveway.

More than a century old and renovated in stages by previous owners, this Cambie-area home had the character the family wanted to keep, but not the layout, structure or systems they wanted to live with for decades to come.
The owners wanted their galley kitchen to work better without major structural changes, with more light and a connection to the patio, and their main bathroom rebuilt around a walk-in shower.
A closed-off East Vancouver condo kitchen opened up by removing several walls, connecting kitchen, dining, and living into one bright space. When the walls came down, deteriorated copper piping came out too. Newer plumbing than the building now.
An unfinished East Vancouver basement, now a legal two-bedroom suite with its own kitchen, bathroom, and private entry. Re-graded drainage and certified asbestos removal made it truly legal. It runs as an Airbnb today.
A dated kids bathroom in Cloverdale, fully removed and replaced in six weeks. Durable, easy-care finishes that shrug off daily wear, plus the storage a busy family needs. Built to grow with the kids.
An East Vancouver home refreshed in one pass: a new kitchen with the laundry hidden in matching millwork, all 2.5 bathrooms redone to match, engineered wood across both levels. Two and a half months.
A North Vancouver home whose basement suite needed its own way in. Roka cut a new opening in the foundation and built the entry properly: concrete, drainage, stairs, and railings. Two months, and both households got their privacy back.
A leaning concrete retaining wall in Pitt Meadows, replaced with a simple wood wall in a single week. With redevelopment already planned, the owners needed a few more safe years, not a forty-year rebuild. The right call was the simplest one that worked.
A cracked support under this Vancouver carport and patio, repaired first. That work uncovered garage doors framed with no header at all, since reframed properly. New walkway and rebuilt stairs finished it in three weeks.
A buyer inspection flagged structural items on this Horseshoe Bay home. Roka priced the fixes so the deal could close, then completed them after possession. Deck rebuilt, staircase and gutters put right.
A Kitsilano condo refreshed front door to bedroom. A dated bathtub became a walk-in shower and new flooring runs throughout. The kitchen opened up with a new counter, all in six weeks.
An East Vancouver main floor opened up around a new island kitchen. A dividing wall came out and the structure below was reinforced to carry it. Reconfigured bathroom and a gas fireplace round it out.
A Delta main floor modernized around a new kitchen. A gas fireplace, feature wall, and new flooring throughout tie it together. Roof, attic, and chimney put right first.
A leaking West Vancouver patio, replaced with new concrete and a glass guardrail. A failing structural beam was reinforced underneath. Four months, solid from the ground up.
One Yorkwood Hills neighbour told the next. Roka converted a walk-in closet into a private ensuite, four units and counting. Each got its own layout and finishes.
A durable, kid-proof bathroom built to last. New doors, trim, paint, and carpet refreshed the whole upper floor. Six weeks, on budget.
A pool that would not hold water, even after another repair. New finish, fixed jets and light, rebuilt mechanical room. Every leak found and sealed.
A Commercial Drive condo made safer for aging in place. New kitchen finishes, an accessible bathroom, and vinyl tile throughout. Exposed Poly-B plumbing replaced too.
Window rot caught and repaired before it spread. New window and siding finished the wall right. Exterior stairs rebuilt for safety, in two weeks.
A century-old Kitsilano home's old bathtub, replaced with a custom walk-in shower. Asbestos abatement cleared the way first. One month, no surprises.
We renovated this condo bathroom just off Commercial Drive in six weeks: the bathtub came out and a custom walk-in shower took its place, joined by a new floating vanity, continuous tile running through the whole room, and a heated floor underfoot.
A False Creek condo refreshed top to bottom. New kitchen, two renovated bathrooms, and a fireplace-centred living room. Air conditioning added for the summer months.
A previous contractor cut into a structural shear wall, a real seismic risk. Roka restored it to engineered spec and rebuilt the bathroom right. One month, fully contained.
An aging wood plank patio replaced with a long-term, low-maintenance solution that ends the yearly sanding and repainting.
A full home renovation with an open-concept main floor on steel beams, new kitchen, 4.5 bathrooms, new HVAC, and structural repairs throughout.
