What we see in Port Moody homes
Much of Port Moody lives in strata, so a lot of our work here comes through strata councils, property managers and owners: unit turnovers, interior doors and trim, and repairs after moves. Up the hill, homes from the 1980s and 1990s on Heritage Mountain need decks, exterior doors and fences replaced as they reach the end of their original life.
Many townhouse complexes along the inlet are now twenty to thirty years old, which is when original interior doors, closet hardware and trim start wearing out together. That is a good moment to do them as one job rather than one call at a time. In Moody Centre, older homes near the water see rot at back steps and deck ledgers.

Weather and your house
At the head of the inlet and backed by mountains, Port Moody gets more rain than Vancouver’s west side, and the steep lots up Heritage Mountain push water toward decks and doors.
Hiring a contractor in Port Moody: what to check
This city issues its own business licences. Ask any contractor which licence they hold for work here — the city’s business licensing office can confirm it.
Anywhere in BC: there is no provincial licence for general repair work, but electrical and gas work must be done by contractors licensed through Technical Safety BC, and plumbing by certified plumbers. Landlords and strata corporations hiring a contractor should ask for a WorkSafeBC clearance letter — if a contractor is not paying premiums, the business that hired them can be held liable. In homes built before 1990, materials that may contain asbestos should be tested before they are cut or sanded.
