Q: Will a home addition in Calgary require special permits?

A: Yes, most additions in Calgary require permits. As local experts, we’re familiar with Calgary and Alberta regulations and will handle all necessary permitting processes for you.

Q: How do you ensure the new addition matches my existing home?

A: We pay close attention to architectural details, rooflines, and materials to create a seamless blend. Our team sources matching or complementary materials and can even recreate period-specific details for older Calgary homes.

Q: Can I stay in my home during the addition process?

A: In most cases, yes. We take steps to minimize disruption and contain the construction area. However, there may be brief periods where utilities need to be shut off or access is limited. We’ll discuss this in detail during the planning phase.
