A closer look at the full transformation — from tile and marble demolition through framing, drywall installation and a Level 5 finish across the chalet's sloped, angled interior.
About the Project
VV Renovation completed a full interior renovation inside a high-end Whistler chalet, working through a multi-stage scope that covered demolition, structural preparation, drywall and a Level 5 finish with meticulous detail work throughout.
The project began with full demolition of existing tile, stone and marble surfaces, as well as drywall removal across the bathroom and shower zone. What made the work particularly demanding was the home's architecture — sloped ceilings, complex angles and non-standard geometry that required precise cutting and careful execution at every stage. After demolition, the team completed framing, new drywall installation, multi-coat finishing and painting. The client's standard was clear from the start: every detail had to be perfect. The project moved at the pace the quality required.
Scope, Materials & Methods
This Whistler chalet renovation moved through demolition of tile, stone and marble, drywall removal and structural exposure, ceiling and mechanical coordination, framing, new drywall installation, a full Level 5 finish and painting — all executed around sloped ceilings and complex angled geometry.
Demolished existing tile, stone and marble surfaces throughout the bathroom and shower zone using saws, pry bars, sledgehammers and drywall cutting tools. The removal exposed multiple layers and revealed the full scope of structural work needed underneath.
Cut and removed existing drywall sections to expose the framing, ceiling structure, mechanical systems and insulation. This stage confirmed the condition of what was behind the walls and allowed the team to plan the rebuild accurately.
Worked around open ceiling sections with exposed wood framing, electrical rough-in, HVAC ductwork and insulation — coordinating the drywall rebuild around existing mechanical systems while maintaining clean transitions throughout.
Completed framing work to prepare the bathroom and surrounding zones for new drywall — working with the sloped ceiling geometry and angled wall lines that defined the architectural character of the chalet.
Installed new drywall across walls and ceilings using precise measurements, laser levels and careful cutting to follow the non-standard angles and sloped surfaces throughout the space.
Applied a full multi-coat finishing sequence up to Level 5 — the highest standard of drywall finish, leaving a completely smooth, paint-ready surface with no visible texture, tool marks or imperfections. Each coat was sanded and inspected before the next was applied.
Primed and painted all finished surfaces, including the sloped walls and angled ceiling sections. The painting stage revealed the full quality of the Level 5 finish underneath — a flat, clean surface throughout the renovated interior.
The Whistler chalet features sloped ceilings and complex angled geometry that ran through the bathroom and shower zone. Every cut, every drywall panel and every finishing coat had to follow these non-standard lines precisely — with no margin for error. The client required a high standard of detail throughout, which meant each stage had to be executed carefully rather than quickly.
We worked through each stage methodically — demolition first, then framing, then drywall in sections, finishing coat by coat. Sloped surfaces were templated individually before cutting. The Level 5 finish was applied in multiple passes with sanding between coats to ensure a perfectly flat result. The project took the time it needed to meet the standard required.
Final Result
The renovated interior of the Whistler chalet now features clean, smooth Level 5 finished walls and ceilings throughout the bathroom zone — properly framed, carefully detailed and painted to a high standard. A complete transformation from raw demolition to finished interior, executed with precision across complex geometry.
Frequently Asked Questions
A full interior renovation inside a residential chalet in Whistler, BC. The scope included demolition of tile, stone and marble, drywall removal, framing, new drywall installation, Level 5 finishing and painting.
Level 5 is the highest standard of drywall finish. It involves applying a skim coat over the entire surface after taping and mudding, then sanding to a perfectly smooth result with no texture or imperfections. It is typically used in high-end residential projects or where critical lighting conditions would reveal any surface flaws.
Each coat must dry fully before the next is applied, and each layer requires sanding and inspection. On complex surfaces with angles and slopes, additional templating and fitting time is required. The process cannot be rushed without compromising the final result.
Each panel was measured and cut individually to follow the geometry of the sloped ceiling and angled wall lines. We used laser levels to maintain alignment and templated non-standard cuts before installation.
Yes. VV Renovation works across the Greater Vancouver Area and on select projects in areas such as Whistler for the right scope of work.
Cost depends on the extent of demolition, the square footage of drywall, the finishing level required and the complexity of the geometry involved. Contact us for a free estimate.
