Condo and Townhouse Renovations in Victoria, BC
Love where you live, even when the hallway is shared.
We renovate condos and townhouses across Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and View Royal, from a single bathroom to the whole unit.
Strata buildings come with their own rules, so we plan every job around your bylaws, your building and the neighbours who share your walls.
What We Renovate in Condos and Townhouses
Kitchens
New cabinetry, counters, tile and lighting, laid out around the plumbing and venting your building allows. See our kitchen renovations page for more.
Bathrooms
Tub-to-shower conversions, tile, vanities and fans. When there is a suite below you, waterproofing is the most important part of the job, and we treat it that way. See our bathroom renovations page.
Flooring
Many owners want to replace tired carpet with hardwood, vinyl plank or tile. Your bylaws usually set the sound rating the underlay must meet, and we will plan the floor to that standard.
Layout changes
Opening the wall between a kitchen and dining room, reworking an entryway or closing in a home office can change how a small space lives. We work with top designers and engineers when permits are required.
Doors and finishing details
New doors, trim, baseboards and built-in storage. In a condo, every square foot has to work hard.
Decks, balconies and fences
For townhouse owners, we build and rebuild decks, balconies and fences once your strata has approved the work. See our deck building and fence installation pages.
Whole-unit renovations
When everything needs to change at once, our complete home renovations page explains how we plan a full renovation.
Our Other Renovation Services in Greater Victoria

Complete Home
When several rooms are changing at once, the order of the work matters more than any single room. We will sequence the whole house under one schedule, so your home is only under construction once. Read about our whole home renovations in Victoria.

Bathroom Renovations
From a new vanity and tile to a full rebuild back to the studs, with proper waterproofing and venting behind the finishes. See our bathroom renovations in Victoria.
-
![Kitchen renovation in Victoria, BC by Michael Moser Contracting]()
Kitchen Renovation
Cabinets, counters, plumbing, electrical and often a wall coming out. A kitchen puts more trades into a smaller space than any other room in the house, which is why it goes better with one contractor running the schedule. See our kitchen renovations.
-
![Basement renovation in Victoria, BC by Michael Moser Contracting]()
Basement Renovation
Finished basements, added bathrooms and secondary suites. A legal suite brings permit and building code requirements that a simple finishing job does not, so it needs a contractor who will manage the whole scope. See our basement renovations and suite conversions.
-

Deck Building
New decks, rebuilds, stairs and railings, built for a climate where it rains for half the year. See our deck building in Victoria.

Fence Installation
Cedar privacy, picket, horizontal slat and lattice-top fences, with gates to match. See our fence installation.
A Townhouse Renovation in James Bay
This townhouse on Dallas Road needed work in almost every room. We put in new floors and new doors throughout, gutted and rebuilt both bathrooms and tiled the laundry room floor.
We opened the wall between the kitchen and dining room, gave the kitchen a facelift, opened up the entryway and closed in the office.
Renovating in a Strata Building
Approval comes first
Under BC's Strata Property Act, the standard bylaws require an owner to get the strata corporation's written approval before altering the structure of the building, its exterior or common property. Most Victoria buildings require approval for any renovation work. We will help you put together your alteration request, so your strata council has everything it needs to review it.
City permits
Some condo work also needs a City permit. We will offer to handle all permitting requirements. You can read more in our guide, Do You Need a Permit to Renovate Your Home in Victoria, BC?
Respect for the building
A condo renovation affects your neighbours’ home nearly as much as your own. We book elevators and loading areas with your building, protect hallways and entries, remove debris as we go and keep to your building's work hours. When the job is done, the common areas are left as clean as we found them.
Older Buildings
Many condos in James Bay, Fairfield and Cook Street Village were built in the 1970s and 1980s. We test every home older than 1990 for asbestos before demolition, through certified professionals, and arrange remediation if it is needed. Asbestos regulations are becoming more stringent, so we may need to test newer homes too.

What Condo and Townhouse Owners Are Saying
"We hired Mike after interviewing several other GCs in Victoria, and right away, Mike was the stand out for professionalism, ambition, and passion. Once we moved in, the last pieces of the reno fell into place and we are so happy with the results. Mike went above and beyond for us, over and over again."
Blaise Fontaine, Dallas Road townhouse"Extremely pleased. New fence and balcony. Very professional and highly recommend. Would gladly give 10 stars if I could."
