Why choose SJO - Renovations & Repairs?
Local & Experienced Since 2011
We've been serving Blind Bay, Sorrento, and Eagle Bay since 2011. When you hire SJO, you work directly with experienced tradespeople who know the South Shuswap — not a franchise or a crew you've never met.
We Manage the Entire Project
We coordinate every trade from start to finish — electricians, plumbers, tile setters — so you don't have to chase down multiple contractors or manage a complicated schedule yourself.
We Stand Behind Our Work
We walk you through the finished project and make sure every detail meets your expectations before we consider the job done. Your satisfaction is the standard we work to.
Benefits of renovating your bathroom:
An updated bathroom is one of the first things buyers notice. In the South Shuswap real estate market, a clean, modern bathroom can meaningfully increase your home's sale price and reduce time on market.
A well-designed bathroom with proper storage, good lighting, and a functional layout makes every morning easier. Small changes — a new vanity, better fixtures, updated tile — can completely change how a room feels.
Older bathrooms in the Shuswap region often have hidden moisture damage behind tiles and under flooring. A renovation addresses these issues properly before they become expensive structural problems.
Whether you're planning for the future or have current mobility needs, we can design and build bathrooms that are safe and comfortable for everyone in the household.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations take 1–3 weeks depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh is faster; a full gut renovation with tile work and plumbing changes takes longer. We give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom renovation in BC?
Minor cosmetic work typically doesn’t require a permit. If we’re moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or making structural changes, a permit may be required. We’ll advise you on this during the consultation.
Can you work with my existing layout?
Yes. Most renovations keep the existing plumbing locations to manage costs. If you want to change the layout, we’ll walk you through what’s involved and what it adds to the budget.
Do you supply materials or do I?
Either works. We can source fixtures, tile, and materials on your behalf, or we can work with materials you’ve already purchased. Many clients find it easier to let us handle sourcing.
