We’re a Red Seal certified, family-run general contractor that’s been renovating homes across the Tri-Cities, Metro Vancouver, and the Fraser Valley since 2013. Our principal, Bill, brings over 20 years of hands-on construction experience to every project, and our team is RenovationFind Certified and a member of TrustedPros, so you’re working with a contractor who’s been vetted, not just one who says the right things. Whether it’s a kitchen, a basement, or a whole home renovation, we treat your project with the same care we’d want in our own homes. We’ve built our business on a rock solid foundation of trust, honesty, and professionalism, and those values still show up in how we run every job site today.
We’ve spent more than a decade earning our reputation the old-fashioned way: by showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. We back our workmanship with a warranty on labour and materials, so you’re never left wondering what happens if something needs a second look. Our RenovationFind Certified status means we’ve passed background and financial reliability checks and are monitored on an ongoing basis, and our standing with TrustedPros comes from a screening process that looks well beyond customer reviews alone. Together, those two badges give homeowners an outside, independent way to check our track record, not just our word for it.
Our craftsmanship covers everything from whole home renovations and kitchen renovations to bathroom renovations, basement suites, home additions, and the smaller jobs that still deserve real attention, like deck building, driveway replacements, and window and siding upgrades. We handle the permit navigation and trade coordination that come with each of those so you’re not the one chasing down inspectors or scheduling subtrades on your own time. You can see that work up close in our project gallery, where recent renovations across the Fraser Valley and Tri-Cities speak for themselves.
We’re also based right in Pitt Meadows, which means we know these neighbourhoods, not just the postal codes. That local footing shows up in small ways: knowing which municipalities move faster on permits, understanding the older housing stock common across the Tri-Cities, and being close enough to check in on a project without it being a special trip.
Bill established Petra Contracting in 2013 with over 20 years of industry experience already behind him. As a Red Seal Certified cabinet maker, he brings a craftsman’s eye and a steady hand to everything we build, and while his real passions are kitchen and bathroom design and implementation, he’s just as comfortable running a full general construction project from framing to final walkthrough.
As a husband and a parent of two young kids, Bill understands what it means to want a home that’s practical, safe, and genuinely family-friendly, not just good-looking in photos. That perspective shapes how our whole team approaches a project: we keep the big picture in view while still sweating the small details, because we know it’s the small details that a family lives with every day. Bill personally reviews the overall look and feel of each space before we call a job finished, and he’s built our team around that same standard so nothing gets signed off until it’s genuinely right.
That combination, a Red Seal tradesman’s precision paired with a homeowner’s instincts, is why clients keep coming back to us for their next room and referring us to friends and family for theirs. It’s also why so many of our projects start as one room and grow into a second: once a client sees how we work, they tend to bring us back for the next space too.
