Get the info you need before starting your renovation.
How much does a home renovation cost in Calgary?
The cost of a home renovation in Calgary can vary widely depending on the size of your project, the materials you choose, and the complexity of the work. On average, minor updates like painting and flooring can start around $5,000–$15,000, while larger renovations—such as full kitchen remodels or basement developments—can range from $40,000 to $100,000+. At Trendsetter Renovations, we provide detailed, transparent quotes so you know exactly where your budget is going before we start.
Be realistic. Determine what your budget for the project will be. Relay this to your contractor during initial consultation, this will allow your contractor to know you have a budget in mind, and his/her quoting should fall within this range. It is very difficult for a contractor to price a job within your price range if you choose to keep it a secret. More than likely the labour rate cannot change. You have the ability to control the budget by choosing affordable finished product. Most projects go over budget when choosing finished product. Determine your wants from your needs.
How long does a typical kitchen or bathroom renovation take?
A standard kitchen renovation typically takes 6–10 weeks from demolition to final touches, depending on the scope of work. Bathroom remodels are usually quicker, averaging 3–6 weeks. Factors like permit approvals, custom cabinetry, or specialty finishes can extend the timeline. Our experienced team keeps projects on track with organized scheduling and clear communication at every stage.
Do I need a permit for home renovations in Calgary?
Yes—many types of renovations in Calgary require a permit, especially if you’re altering structural walls, plumbing, or electrical systems. For example, kitchen remodels that involve moving plumbing fixtures, basement developments, or additions almost always need approval from the City of Calgary. Trendsetter Renovations takes care of all necessary permits and inspections, ensuring your project meets local building codes and safety standards.
Which renovations add the most value to a home?
Renovations that typically offer the best return on investment include:
- Kitchen remodels – Updated layouts, quality cabinetry, and modern finishes
- Bathroom upgrades – Walk-in showers, double vanities, and heated floors
Basement developments – Adding usable living space or rental suites
You are probably most interested and excited about the finished look of your new kitchen but try to remember that the mechanical you can’t see behind the drywall is very important to the function and longevity of your investment. In the big scheme of things it could be money well spent.
How do I find trusted home renovation contractors in Calgary?
Start by looking for contractors with strong local reputations, verified client reviews, and a portfolio of completed work. Always ask for references, proof of insurance, and a detailed contract before signing. At Trendsetter Renovations, we’ve built our reputation on over 30 years of reliable service, superior craftsmanship, and honest communication—making us a trusted choice for homeowners across the city.
It will be essential to have all furniture & personal belonging removed from the space being renovated. Don’t try to make your construction crew work around such items, its highly probable that damage will occur and it will certainly cause delays in productivity.
What should I do before starting a home renovation?
Before beginning any renovation, it’s important to plan ahead. Start by setting a clear budget and creating a priority list of your must-haves versus nice-to-haves. Gather inspiration photos, research design ideas, and think about how the renovation will impact your lifestyle during construction. Always check if permits are required for your project, and make sure to hire a licensed, insured contractor with good references. Taking these steps upfront helps avoid delays, surprise costs, and unnecessary stress.
