Renovations in St. Albert
St. Albert is its own city just northwest of Edmonton, and our Edmonton team serves it as part of our core area. We plan and build bathrooms, kitchens, basements and whole-home renovations, starting with a design consultation in your home.
Renovations in St. Albert
St. Albert has mature neighbourhoods along the Sturgeon River valley with bungalows, split-levels and two-storeys from the 1960s through the 80s, along with newer neighbourhoods that have grown up on the edges of the city. Older homes here are often solid and well kept but still have original bathrooms and kitchens. Newer homes usually call for a finish upgrade or a basement that was left unfinished when the house was built.
Our work in St. Albert covers bathroom rebuilds with walk-in showers and heated floors, kitchen renovations with new layouts and cabinetry, custom millwork such as built-ins and mudroom storage, and basement development including secondary suites where they are allowed. We also replace flooring and tile, and build decks and fences for backyards that get a lot of use in the warmer months.
How the design consultation works here
Our Edmonton team handles design consultations in St. Albert. We visit your home, look at the space, measure, photograph and talk through what you want, what you are comfortable spending and when you would like the work done. The consultation is $250 and is credited toward your project if you go ahead.
You then receive a fixed written price with the scope spelled out, a lifetime workmanship guarantee and staged payments tied to milestones. Call (587) 812-4500 to book a time that works for you.

Permits through the City of St. Albert
St. Albert issues its own building and trade permits, separate from Edmonton. We check whether your project needs one, handle the application, and schedule inspections as the work progresses so nothing holds up the next stage.
Older homes, hidden surprises
In homes from the 1960s to 80s, opening a bathroom wall can reveal old galvanized or patched plumbing, missing insulation or framing that is not quite square. We allow for this in planning, explain the options plainly if we find something, and agree on any change in writing before going ahead.
Basements and moisture
Before finishing a basement, we look for signs of past water, check the foundation walls and plan insulation and vapour control carefully. A dry, well-insulated basement is far more comfortable through a long Alberta winter and protects the finishes you are paying for.
Dry winter air
Indoor air gets very dry in winter, which makes wood floors, trim and cabinet doors shrink and move. We acclimatize materials before installation and choose products that cope with the seasonal swing.
