Request a Scope Review →Insurance-funded restoration requires specialized expertise in working with insurers, adjusters, and consultants to navigate the claims process while delivering quality reconstruction. Eurohouse Construction brings 16+ years of experience managing fire and water loss projects, from initial damage assessment and emergency mitigation through full reconstruction and final sign-off — with the technical depth to restore the high-end finishes, custom millwork, natural stone, and architectural detail that luxury North Shore and Whistler homes require.
We handle the full damage spectrum: fire and smoke damage, water damage from burst pipes, appliance failure, weather and flood, mould remediation, sewage backup, wind and tree damage, strata water damage, and structural damage from combined causes — as one licensed general contractor rather than handing off to a separate rebuild contractor partway through.
West Vancouver homes are typically architect-designed, premium-finished, and built on slopes with complex drainage. Water damage in this market is not a matter of "drying out and putting it back together." Restoration to pre-loss condition means matching the original construction quality — custom millwork, natural stone, integrated mechanical systems, ocean-view considerations.
"Restored to pre-loss condition" in West Vancouver means something different than in volume-housing markets. The original construction used premium materials, specific trades, and architectural detailing that volume restoration contractors don't typically have access to. We do — because Eurohouse builds and renovates luxury West Van homes as our primary work, not as an occasional sideline to restoration cleanup.

Read Article →Most West Van homes are built on slopes — the District's topography rises sharply from Marine Drive to Cypress. Slope construction means complex drainage: perimeter drains, deck waterproofing, retaining walls, foundation membranes. When any element of that drainage system fails — clogged drains, settled walls, degraded membranes — water finds the next available path, which is often into the building below grade. Damage frequently isn't visible until interior staining, mould smell, or wood rot appears months later.
Yes — this is our specialty. Custom millwork, natural stone counters and floors, integrated cabinetry, ocean-view window walls, European mechanical systems. The trades we use day-to-day on West Van luxury renovation projects are the same trades we use for insurance restoration. Volume restoration contractors typically don't have access to the same quality of trades — which is why pre-loss finishes often can't be properly matched if the wrong contractor takes the job.
Water damage in slope homes is almost always more extensive than visible at the surface. We document hidden damage thoroughly with photos and reports as it's discovered, file change orders with your adjuster, and incorporate the additional scope into the claim. Insurers generally cover hidden damage discovered during scoped demolition — but only with proper documentation. We handle that documentation.
Smaller water damage claims (one or two rooms with standard finishes) typically run 2–4 months. Larger claims involving structural repair, premium finish replacement, and material lead times for custom millwork or natural stone run 4–8 months. Architect-designed homes with unique finishes can extend longer. We provide a realistic timeline at scope review based on the specific situation.
Yes. Strata water damage coordination — BC Strata Property Act compliance, Form K, split between strata insurance and individual owner insurance, common-property vs unit repair — is a specialty area. We carry the $2M certificate of insurance with the strata corporation named as additional insured for every strata project, plus our standard $5M general liability.
