Our Story
A History of Building Spaces People Live In
Pacific Living Contracting is a BC-owned renovation and construction company based in Coquitlam. With roots dating back to 1996, we have grown from a furniture business into a contractor providing renovation, construction, carpentry and project coordination services for residential and commercial clients.
What started with furniture grew through years of working with homeowners, designers and projects throughout the Lower Mainland. Pacific Living became known for distinctive furniture, custom pieces, interior design and a personal approach to helping clients create their spaces.
Over time, the work naturally moved beyond furnishing a room.
Clients began asking for help with fireplaces, renovations, custom woodwork, kitchens, bathrooms and larger interior projects. With that came a growing network of skilled tradespeople and craftsmen, and the business evolved toward a more complete concept-to-completion approach.
Today, Pacific Living Contracting carries that history forward through residential and commercial renovations, additions and construction.
A Connection to Natural Edge Mantels & Woodshop
The company’s history in furniture and craftsmanship also led to the development of Natural Edge Mantels & Woodshop.
Today, the two businesses remain separate brands, but their work naturally complements each other.
Natural Edge specializes in custom craftsmanship including:
Mantels · Beams · Natural-Edge Wood · Tables · Railings · Feature Pieces · Specialty Woodwork
Pacific Living Contracting provides the renovation, construction, carpentry and installation work required to incorporate those pieces into a larger project where appropriate.
This connection can be seen in projects where a custom Natural Edge mantel becomes part of a Pacific Living fireplace renovation, or where specialty woodwork is integrated into a larger interior transformation.
Public project and review records also document Pacific Living’s work with natural-edge mantels, fireplace renovations, custom furniture and custom wood pieces.
The Work Speaks for Itself
We don’t believe a finished photograph tells the whole story.
That’s why we document projects whenever possible from:
Before → Design → Demolition → Construction → Trades → Finishing → Completed Project
Every project has its own story, its own challenges and its own details.
