Renovating in Edmonton

Renovation and development permits in Edmonton are issued by the City of Edmonton, and the requirements vary by project type — a basement suite, for example, follows very different rules than a kitchen refresh. We handle the permitting and build to the City's codes so your project passes inspection.

Edmonton is not one housing market but several. The mature core — Glenora, Westmount, Highlands, Ritchie, Bonnie Doon and Garneau — is full of character homes on established lots, and they renovate superbly, but they also hide the things older houses hide: knob-and-tube remnants, galvanized supply lines, lath-and-plaster walls and almost no wall insulation. The 1960s to 1980s belt — Mill Woods, Castle Downs and Beverly — gives you solid family homes with closed-off kitchens and basements that were never properly finished. Newer communities such as Terwillegar, Windermere, Summerside, Laurel and Keswick are usually about finishing bare basements and replacing builder-grade finishes.

Edmonton's older neighbourhoods sometimes hide knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing or uninsulated walls. Our fixed quote accounts for what we find, and any change in scope is discussed and approved by you before extra work happens.

What We Build Here

Renovation work across Edmonton

Kitchen renovations in Edmonton

Kitchens are the most competitive renovation in the city and the one that changes daily life most. In the mature neighbourhoods the kitchen is usually a separate room at the back of the house; opening it to the dining and living space transforms the whole main floor, though a load-bearing wall needs a structural assessment and a permit before anything is removed. We handle cabinetry, countertops, islands, backsplash, lighting and flooring as one coordinated scope. See our kitchen renovation service or the 2026 Edmonton kitchen cost guide.

Bathroom renovations and ensuites

Older Edmonton bathrooms are typically the original footprint with a tub-shower combination, one small vanity and a fan that never vented properly. The work that matters is invisible: a sound waterproofing assembly behind the tile, ventilation ducted fully outside, and lighting planned before drywall closes. More on bathroom renovations, or ideas for smaller Edmonton bathrooms.

Basement development and legal secondary suites

Under Edmonton's current zoning bylaw a secondary suite is a permitted use in most low-density residential zones, which has made basement suites one of the strongest-return projects available to homeowners here. A legal suite needs compliant egress, adequate ceiling height, a separate entrance, fire separation between units, interconnected alarms and proper ventilation — and it must be permitted and inspected. Rules are property-specific, so confirm your parcel with the City before design. See basement development and our full legal basement suite guide.

Whole-home and interior renovations

Running connected rooms as one project is usually cheaper and produces a better result: trades mobilise once, flooring runs unbroken, and trim and paint stay consistent. In character homes this is also the moment to correct insulation, wiring and ventilation while the walls are open — work that costs a fraction now compared with doing it later. See interior renovations.

Commercial renovations

We also take on office, retail and restaurant fit-outs and tenant improvements across Edmonton, scheduled around the business rather than the other way round. Commercial permitting and code requirements run through the City and we identify what applies during the assessment. See commercial renovations.

Edmonton renovation questions

Do you pull permits with the City of Edmonton?

Yes. We manage City of Edmonton development, building and trade permits and coordinate the inspections as part of the project.

Which Edmonton neighbourhoods do you work in?

All of them — from the mature core such as Glenora, Highlands and Bonnie Doon through Mill Woods and Castle Downs to newer communities like Terwillegar, Laurel and Keswick.

Can I build a legal basement suite in Edmonton?

In most low-density residential zones a secondary suite is a permitted use under the current zoning bylaw, provided it is built to the Alberta Building Code, permitted and inspected. Requirements are property-specific, so confirm your address with the City before designing.

What should I expect renovating an older Edmonton home?

Character homes frequently reveal knob-and-tube remnants, galvanized plumbing or missing insulation once walls are opened. We assess thoroughly before quoting, and anything discovered mid-project is discussed and approved before extra work proceeds.

How long does a renovation take?

Roughly two to four weeks on site for a bathroom, six to ten weeks for a kitchen, four to eight weeks for a basement, and several months for a whole-home project. Permitting and material lead times add to the front end.
