Our Renovation Approach: Sectional Estimates & Smart Sequencing

Renovating a single room—or your whole home—doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We break your project into sectional estimates so you can prioritize what matters most, plan phases, and stage work around your daily life and budget.

• Plan the sequence (e.g., en suite → kitchen → flooring) to minimize disruptions.

• Approve each section with clear scope, materials, timelines, and price.

• No last‑minute surprises: you’ll receive a detailed, line‑item estimate with all required materials and allowances before work begins.

• Permits & inspections: we coordinate municipal requirements in Calgary and Okotoks and build to code. (In both cities, decks commonly require permits when they’re 0.6 m / 2 ft or higher, and additional development rules can apply. We handle it for you.) https://www.calgary.ca

Pro Note—Footings (Okotoks): Unenclosed decks typically require foundations below frost (~1.22 m / 4 ft); if you use screw piles, Okotoks asks for the CCMC evaluation report and site‑specific engineering. We manage these details end‑to‑end. okotoks.ca

 

What We Build (and Build Well)

Decks & Outdoor Living

• Custom wood & composite decks, stairs, and railings

• Maintenance‑free systems (composite, aluminum, vinyl surfaces)

• Econodek & Duradek vinyl decking with heat‑welded seams and custom 16‑gauge flashing for lasting waterproof performance

• Pergolas & covered spaces, privacy walls, wind screens

Pro Note—Waterproof Vinyl: We heat‑weld all seams (not just contact cement) and use routered perimeter seams for drainage. Our epoxy‑coated 16‑gauge edge flashing outperforms thinner stock used in many installs—helping prevent perimeter peel‑back in freeze–thaw cycles.

 

Screen Rooms & Sunrooms

• Cedar screen rooms and 4‑season sunrooms

• 18×14 heavy‑duty fiberglass screen (charcoal or silver gray) for strength and visibility

• Options: switched vent fan for built‑in BBQ, skylights, shading systems, insulated panels for shoulder seasons

Pro Note—Ventilation & Utilities: We coordinate mechanical, gas, and electrical permits for BBQs, heaters, and lighting, and specify WET‑rated fixtures in exposed zones.

Kitchens, Bathrooms & Interior Remodeling

• Cabinetry & millwork, flooring, large‑format tile

• Waterproofing systems (e.g., sheet membranes, pre‑sloped pans) in wet areas

• Lighting & electrical upgrades with AF/GFCI protection where required

• Basements & suites (egress, smoke/CO alarms, sound attenuation—built to Alberta code)

Pro Note—Building Envelope: At exterior wall penetrations (hoods, hose bibs, sconces), we integrate flashing tapes, drip details, and back‑wrapping to preserve air/water barriers.

Budgeting That Makes Sense

Quality finished work depends on craftsmanship and materials. We’ll help you invest where it matters:

• Best value: pair skilled trades with mid‑range, proven materials

• Avoid “false economy”: the cheapest labour/materials often cost more later in repairs

• Transparent allowances for finishes; upgrade only where the return is clear

Pro Note—Hardware & Fasteners: We specify ACQ‑compatible hot‑dip galvanized or stainless fasteners and structural screws (not generic lag bolts) for stronger ledgers, beams, and hangers—critical for safety and longevity.

​

Permits, Codes & Inspections—Handled

• City of Calgary: Building permits are typically required for decks over 0.6 m (2′); additional development rules can apply based on setbacks and lot type. https://www.calgary.ca

• Town of Okotoks: Building permits are not typically required under 0.6 m, but development permits may apply when standards aren’t met. Latest deck guidelines note stair geometry and screw‑pile documentation. We’ll apply and schedule inspections for you. okotoks.ca

Codes evolve. We build to the current Alberta/National Building Code and local bylaws and will flag anything unique to your property early in design. Safety Codes Alberta

• Clear communication: one project lead; updates at each milestone

• Respect for your home: dust control, daily clean‑down, safe access routes

Pro Note—Ledger to House: We use peel‑and‑stick flashing with drip laps and avoid through‑fastening into masonry (preferring self‑supporting frames) to prevent water ingress and structural issues.
