When homeowners think about upgrading their space, the two rooms that make the biggest impact are bathrooms and kitchens. These areas aren’t just functional — they’re where comfort, style, and daily routines all come together.
At Aftermath Contracting, we help homeowners across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Port Coquitlam transform these spaces into something modern, practical, and built to last.

Why Kitchens Matter So Much

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Whether you cook every day or not, it’s the place guests notice instantly.

Common upgrades that change everything:

• 
  

  New cabinets or resurfacing

  
  


• 
  

  Quartz or gr...

When winter hits the Lower Mainland, most homeowners focus on staying warm — not on home repairs.
But here’s the truth most people don’t hear:

Winter is when your home reveals its biggest problems.
And catching them early can save you thousands.

At Aftermath Contracting, we help homeowners across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody tackle the hidden issues that winter brings before they turn into major damage.

🌧️ 1. Moisture Problems Don’t Wait — They Spread

Winter rain in Vancouver is no joke.
If you notice any of these signs, the damage has already started:

• 
  

  Soft or bubbling drywall

  
  


• 
  

  Musty smells

  
  


• 
  

  Dra...

Most homeowners wait until something becomes obvious before calling a contractor — a leak, a crack, a soft spot, a rotted board, or a bubbling wall.
But the truth is: most major home repairs start months earlier with small warning signs we often overlook.

In a climate as wet as Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, and the North Shore, moisture damage spreads quietly. Something as simple as ignored caulking or a loose board can turn into a bigger repair than expected.

At Aftermath Contracting, we see the same situation all the time — the problem could have been fixed easily if caught earlier. That’s why understanding early signs is the key to protecting your home and your ...

Most homeowners don’t realize it, but the number one cause of expensive renovations isn’t accidents or storms — it’s delayed maintenance.

In rainy, moisture-heavy regions like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and the surrounding areas, small problems become big ones fast. A tiny leak becomes water damage. A soft board becomes rot. A hairline crack becomes structural repair.

That’s why so many homeowners are now searching for reliable contractors who don’t just fix problems — they prevent them.
This is exactly where Aftermath Contracting helps homeowners stay ahead.

Mold behind your drywall or on interior surfaces might look like a small cosmetic issue — until you learn what it does beneath the paint. One of the most Googled questions by homeowners dealing with wall discoloration is whether mold can simply be covered up. The short answer? No. Painting over mold hides it, but it does not kill it — and it will come back. The longer answer is where things get interesting.

What Happens When You Paint Over Mold

• 
  

  Mold spores remain alive under the paint film

  
  


• 
  

  Moisture continues to feed the growth behind the surface

  
  


• 
  

  The paint may bubble, crack, or peel prematurely

  
  


• 
  

  The problem spreads laterally and vertically in the wall

A storm doesn’t negotiate. It hits windows, roofs, fences, siding, and foundations without warning, and when it passes, homeowners are left wondering if the damage is cosmetic, structural, or just the beginning of something larger. In coastal cities like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, storms bring heavy rain, high wind, flying debris, drainage overload, and sudden temperature swings. The most common sequence we see is underestimated damage becoming hidden damage. A cracked siding panel becomes wet sheathing. A small roof gap becomes attic moisture. A leaning fence becomes a collapse later. A storm passes once, but water lingers the longest.

A lot of homeowners start renovation planning with the same unspoken question: Is this actually worth it? Not the Pinterest version of worth it — the financial, practical, long-term version of worth it. Especially in cities that deal with rain, wind, and damp seasons like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, upgrades are often more about protection than design — but the smart ones do both.

Most people reading a contracting blog are in research mode. They’re trying to connect dots like: Will this improve my home value? Will it fix the issue I already have? How long will it last? Can I avoid doing this again later? Who actually knows what they&rs...

On the West Coast, especially in cities like Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver, heavy rain and unexpected flooding aren’t rare — they’re seasonal realities. When homeowners search up “How do I fix water damage after heavy rain or a flood?” they’re usually not reading for fun. They’re reading because water is already in their home, or they’re terrified it will be.

Water damage spreads faster than most people think, and the aftermath of water damage is exactly where Aftermath Contracting comes in. The aftermath of water damage is what we fix. The aftermath of water damage is what we repair. The aftermath of water d...
