Typical housing stock

Richmond's housing ranges from single-detached homes, townhouses and low-rise apartments in areas such as Steveston, Broadmoor, Blundell and Seafair to apartment buildings of five or more storeys concentrated in City Centre, which holds more than a third of the city's occupied dwellings. The City of Richmond's 2021 Census housing data shows about a quarter of occupied dwellings were built in 1980 or earlier and about a fifth between 2011 and 2021, so exterior work spans older houses as well as recent townhouse and apartment construction.

Climate & building notes

Richmond is made up of islands within the Fraser River floodplain at an average of 1 metre above sea level, protected by 49 km of dikes and 39 drainage pump stations, according to the City of Richmond. The City describes a temperate west coast climate with little or no snow most winters and average rainfall of 1,112.6 mm, about 30 per cent less than neighbouring Vancouver. On these flat, low-lying lots, roof, deck and exterior work is planned mainly around rain and drainage rather than snow.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which PCC division handles my project in Richmond?

Pacific Coast Contracting is one company with three divisions, and all three serve Richmond. PCC Renovations handles renovation projects, PCC Decking handles decks and PCC Roofing handles roofs. All three work from the same office in Port Coquitlam, so if your project touches more than one trade, you can ask about every part of it when you first contact PCC.

Do I need a permit for renovation, deck or roof work in Richmond?

Building permits in Richmond are handled by the City of Richmond's Building Approvals Department. For one- and two-family homes, the City's Homeowner/Builder guide lists roofing repair or replacement among the minor items that do not need a permit, while adding to or altering an existing building does. Electrical permits come from Technical Safety BC. The renovation and decking columns on this page cover those trades.

How far is Richmond from PCC's office, and what's the drive like?

Our office is at 853 Seaborne Ave in Port Coquitlam, about 40 km by road from Richmond City Hall. One common route runs along the Mary Hill Bypass, through New Westminster and over the Queensborough Bridge on Highway 91A, then west on Highway 91 into Richmond. East Richmond is closer, and Steveston is farther.

Does PCC work with strata councils and property managers in Richmond?

Yes. PCC's three divisions take on renovation, decking and roofing work for strata councils, property managers and commercial building owners in Richmond, as well as for homeowners. Commercial and multi-family buildings in Richmond follow the City's separate Commercial and Multi-Family Building Permit Requirements, so the permit steps for a multi-family building can differ from those for a single-family home.

Does PCC offer emergency roofing service in Richmond?

Yes. PCC Roofing's 24/7 emergency roofing response — 604-554-0963 — covers Richmond, for problems such as storm damage or an active leak. Contact PCC Roofing directly for an urgent roof issue. For non-urgent questions about renovation, decking or roofing work, PCC's main office in Port Coquitlam is open Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 16:00.

Is PCC insured and registered for work in Richmond?

Yes. Pacific Coast Contracting carries $5 million in liability insurance, is registered with WorkSafeBC and holds a BBB A+ rating. The company has been in business for more than 15 years, and Richmond is one of the 17 cities it serves. Whoever you hire, it is reasonable to ask for proof of insurance and WorkSafeBC registration before work starts.

Can I finance my project in Richmond?

Yes. PCC offers financing through Financeit for renovation, decking and roofing projects in Richmond, so you can spread the cost of your project over time rather than paying the full amount upfront. Ask your PCC representative about financing options when you request your quote.

What other nearby cities does PCC serve besides Richmond?

Besides Richmond, PCC serves the neighbouring cities of Vancouver, Delta, New Westminster and Burnaby, all from the same Port Coquitlam office. In total, the company serves 17 cities from North Vancouver to Chilliwack, and each has its own page with local permit notes and answers to common questions. If your property is outside Richmond, open that city's page for its local details.
