With over 13 years of experience, Kay2 Contracting Ltd specialises in full-scale renovations, and custom home builds, including home additions, kitchens, bathrooms, and interior and structural design.

With their team of resident designers and contractors, they can provide clients with on-the-spot design choices and initial plans. 

To have more accurate options, you can take advantage of their free in-house consultation.

Setting an appointment is easy through their online booking system. You may also opt to phone in directly for a quicker response since they are only open on weekdays.

For clients who plan on large home projects, you can opt for their financing options such as home equity, line of credit, mortgage, or personal loans. 

For instance, with home equity, you take on $100,000 projects for rates as low as $250 per month. And for a line of credit, clients can fund $20,000 projects with monthly payments of $110.

Do take note that they have a project minimum of $10,000 to begin, so smaller projects that won’t cost this much might not be suitable here.

We also love that they provide a 2-year limited warranty depending on what type of service you avail. It’s advisable for clients to carefully go through the warranty agreement to avoid costly changes in the future.

Calgary Renovation Contractors offers residential and commercial renovations, installations, custom builds, millwork, and other home projects.

They also provide and coordinate necessary services such as electrical and plumbing systems, thanks to their experienced technicians.

We like that most of the products they use are locally manufactured and supplied, so it helps avoid potential product delays.

However, there have been complaints of the products used for their projects, such as floorboards that started to get damaged in the first 2 years, when they are supposed to last 25 years.

They have a comprehensive remodelling questionnaire available online where clients can conveniently input their specific needs and then expect a response within the next 2 days.

This also doubles up as a free estimate, so a more detailed answer will give you a more accurate estimate.

It’s also good to note that they offer financing options such as zero-interest financing for up to 12 months on approved credit. This allows clients to strategically use and maximise their funds for other equally-important matters.

Another thing we appreciate is that they have protocols to provide complete removal or disposal of the waste and mess after the project. Clients will be at ease knowing their homes are clean and safe from debris. 

Established in 1979, Ultimate Renovations provides full home renovations and additions, kitchens, basements, ensuite and exterior design, home building, and handyman services,

We are impressed that they were able to bag the BILD’s “Renovator of the Year” Award 9 times. To add, they also have 62 industry awards following their long history in the field.

It also helps that they have a large team of staff, contractors, designers, and technicians to basically be a one-stop shop for clients and their home projects.

Although, we discovered that the company is slightly pricier than its counterparts. But we think this is justified by the quality of the finished project.

So if you’re interested, you can take up their free consultation to get a glimpse of what they can do and offer with the given budget.

A word of caution: they don’t have explicit and guaranteed warranties for their services, so we suggest clients negotiate aftercare services with the contractor.

We also like that they are open to projects that already have existing design plans, without trying to upsell or convince clients to have another design made by the company.

Lastly, we appreciate that they can provide alternative temporary accommodations for clients who wish to stay near their property during the project.

Allure Residential & Commercial Inc was established in 1988. Their specialty is both in custom homes and renovations, as well as commercial renovations.

They handle all aspects of your renovation, including plumbing, cabinets, tile, fixture, painting, interior decorating, counter tops, and electrical.

With their experienced in-house contractors and sub-trades, and in-house partners for materials, they are able to strictly follow the agreed-upon timeframe.

They are recognised by BILD and awarded with the National Awards for Housing Excellence by CHBA, given to those who comply with the industry standards of home renovation and building. 

On the contrary, we did hear some reports on needing to improve their communication regarding settling and agreeing on a timeframe. Apparently, the contractor doesn’t provide timely updates on the status of their agreement.

We also like that they accept and offer guidance to process your insurance claims to compensate for the services you avail in partial or full. So don’t forget to look into your insurance coverage to save up on expenses.

However, we are a bit concerned that they don’t have explicit financing options available to fund costly projects.

For clients’ peace of mind, they do offer a satisfaction guarantee for their services to address any further concerns after the completion of the project.

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Bond Contracting & Construction Inc offers full-service residential construction specialising in home improvements, renovations, basement developments, and kitchen and bathroom renovations in Calgary.

We love that clients can ask for a free estimate to see if their needs can be met with the budget they have.

They also have free interior design consultations, which can help clients have a visualisation of what the company can offer and decide if it fits their preferred aesthetic.

For interested clients, you can book an in-home consultation through their online form or over the phone. But we are a bit concerned regarding reports of unpleasant reception during phone call enquiries.

Just a heads up: the company only takes on projects that have a minimum value of $10,000, so projects that would cost lower than this may get charged more to reach the minimum.

It’s also good to note that they have 2-year warranties on all of their labour, so any complaints on the work they’ve done can be addressed — free of charge.

As for the quality of the materials and products they use, we are pleased that they provide a full manufacturer’s warranty on all materials and replace them at no cost.

IVP Construction Inc has been known for delivering exceptional results to clients and honoring deadlines.

In comparing them to others, they take your goals and vision and turn it into reality.  No matter how wild that design is in your head, feel free to tell them and they will see if they can achieve it.

Not to brag, but since they have more than 20 years of experience, they have already completed hundreds of various stucco projects. Get that aesthetic style for your home and it will definitely surprise every visitor you will have.

We prefer them because they know the quality of work each of their clients deserve. When they are working, they make sure that each and every stone are installed perfectly for that overall satisfaction.

Although, the catch here is that their base rates are not available on their website. They do, however, compensate on this by being transparent with their expenses once you agree to work with them.

Additionally, they do not have any information regarding their insurance. So make sure to ask about this if ever you will inquire.

What we like about them is they’re a full-service company. Meaning they can manage the entire project from start to finish without having to coordinate with any other people but them.

Their team consists of in-house professionals and certified sub-trades for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and the like. They also have an excellent team of structural Engineers, Architects, Space Planners, Cabinet Designers, and Interior Designers.

This way they have the knowledge, experience, and expertise needed to do any type of home project. All the clients need to do is to let the team know what they want!

We think this is very convenient and that many potential clients will appreciate this.

They’re also fully insured and constantly in good terms with WHCC and work with local municipalities for permits.

We like how they finish their projects. The results are just impeccable and impressive.

We would personally rate their customer service five stars because they know how to adjust to the client’s budget without compromising quality.

We think they’re very experienced and professional.

Although we think it would be more convenient if they have their rates available on their website.
