South Slope Burnaby Renovation Guide
Renovating in Burnaby‘s South Slope
South Slope (south Burnaby, above Edmonds) is one of Metro Vancouver’s most dramatic neighbourhoods — steep terrain, panoramic views, and a mix of 1950s–1970s homes and newer luxury builds. Renovation here requires both design sensitivity and practical understanding of slope challenges.
South Slope Housing Context
South Slope’s elevated terrain commands premium views of the Fraser Valley and North Shore mountains. Older homes (1950s–1970s bungalows and split-levels) are being progressively renovated or replaced as property values have risen sharply.
Slope-Specific Renovation Considerations
- Retaining wall work for any excavation or addition: $20,000–$60,000
- Access challenges for large deliveries (narrow roads, steep grades)
- View-maximizing renovations (deck additions, window replacements) deliver premium value
- Structural engineering for any additions on sloped sites
Renovation Costs
- Kitchen renovation: $40,000–$75,000
- Primary bathroom: $28,000–$55,000
- Deck addition (view-facing): $35,000–$80,000
- Full home renovation: $220,000–$450,000
