Frequently asked questions

Do you work in Aspen, West Springs and Springbank Hill?

Yes, these established SW communities are a core part of our service area. We regularly renovate kitchens, ensuites and main levels in homes throughout this part of the city.

What renovations make the most sense in these SW neighbourhoods?

Because many homes here are quality builds with dated or builder-grade finishes, kitchen and ensuite upgrades and opening up main-floor layouts tend to add the most value and enjoyment. We tailor the scope to match the level of your home and street.

Do I need a permit to renovate in SW Calgary?

Yes, most structural, electrical and plumbing changes require City of Calgary permits. We handle permitting and inspections as part of the project so everything is done properly.

How much does a renovation cost in these neighbourhoods?

It comes down to your scope, finishes and the size of your home rather than any flat rate. Your fixed-price quote will vary based on your selections and square footage.
