FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about pricing, permits, timelines, and service area for Calgary bathroom renovation, basement finishing, and general contracting projects.
How much does a home renovation cost in Calgary?
Cost depends on scope more than anything else. A cosmetic refresh costs far less than a full gut-to-studs rebuild that moves plumbing or walls, and relocating a toilet, shower, or sink adds rough-in plumbing work a like-for-like swap doesn't need. Tile and fixture grade matters too, and for basement bathrooms specifically, the drain is often below the main sewer line, which can require a sewage ejector pump. Permits add time and cost whenever plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved, and we handle that process for every project. Rather than guess at a number, we walk through all of this in a free in-home consultation and hand you a fully itemized, fixed-price quote within 48 hours — the number you sign is the number you pay.

Yes. All work is performed by licensed tradespeople and covered by Alberta contractor insurance, and every project includes a two-year craftsmanship warranty on labour and finishes.
What areas around Calgary do you serve?

How do your fixed-price quotes work?
After your free consultation, we lock in scope and budget and send a fully itemized, fixed-price quote within 48 hours. That quote is your price — no hidden costs or surprise change orders for the scope we agreed on.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A standard bathroom renovation typically takes 2–4 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on scope.
Do I need a permit to renovate my bathroom in Calgary?
Most bathroom renovations involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require a City of Calgary permit. We handle the permitting process for you as part of every project.
How much does basement finishing cost in Calgary?
Basement finishing cost depends mainly on total size, layout complexity, and whether a bathroom or secondary suite is included. A simple open rec-room finish costs far less per square foot than a layout with multiple rooms, since each interior wall means more framing, drywall, and doors. Adding a bathroom below grade often means a sewage ejector pump if the drain sits below the main sewer line, and a secondary suite adds permit, egress window, and separate-entrance requirements on top of standard framing and finishing. We provide a fully itemized, fixed-price quote after a free in-home consultation, so you know the exact cost — driven by your specific layout — before work begins.
Can you build a legal secondary suite in my basement?
Yes, we build basement developments to current secondary suite requirements, including egress windows, ceiling height, and separate entrances where required.
What does a general contractor do?
A general contractor manages your entire renovation or addition from start to finish — coordinating trades, permits, scheduling, and quality control so you have a single point of contact.
Can you manage a whole-home renovation while we live in the house?
In many cases yes — we plan phasing and scheduling around your household wherever possible and discuss logistics during your free consultation.
What does your two-year warranty cover?
Our two-year craftsmanship warranty covers labour and finishes on every project. If something isn't right within two years of completion, we make it right at no cost to you.
