HOW TO HIRE A RENOVATOR

One of the hardest things about starting a renovation is knowing where to start and who to trust.

Register today for October's Seminar: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or call (403) 275-2588!

We welcome representatives from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), The Better Business Bureau of Southern Alberta, an Architectural Technologist and Design Specialist, as well as a local Realtor, and of course, a Renovator.

We’ll pull back the covers and give you full access to the inside scoop on How to Hire a Renovator from the city’s leading authorities on renovations, city permitting, architecture and design, and local realty.

While this may, at first blush, appear to be completely self-serving we assure you it is anything but. We’ve been doing renovations in Calgary for more than 30 years and feel it’s imperative not just to you the home-owner, but the integrity of our industry that we give back to the community.
