Testimonials

"The quality of the workmanship is stellar, right down to the smallest details."

It's a shame it's not possible to give a rating with more than 5 stars! We could not be more pleased with the incredible job that the Ultimate Team did with our full main-floor renovation! It's the experience and the depth of the team that really shines- beginning with the designers and their amazing electronic tools that provide detailed renderings that help so much to "see" how things will look. Then the skill and experience of the project manager, the field crews and their trades takes over and brings the dream to a reality. The quality of the workmanship is stellar, right down to the smallest details. We were out of the country while most of the work was being done, but regular Zoom meetings made us feel like we were there. Thanks to the entire Ultimate team for delivering our "new home"! - David H

"Since 'failure' was not an option, we selected the fine folks at Ultimate Renovations. And are we glad we did!"

We are a retired couple that were planning an extensive renovation to our property that would consume a significant portion of our retirement savings. There are many decisions to be made during a renovation, but the only truly critical decision is the selection of your General Contactor partner. Since “failure” was not an option, we selected the fine folks at Ultimate Renovations. And are we glad we did! Ultimate have enjoyed a premier reputation for success in this business for quite some time. They have cultivated enduring relationships with core groups of suppliers, sub-contractors and employees and are held in high regard by all of them. Very favorable recommendations were provided by friends and neighbors. Ultimate is a substantial operation, yet it still retains the signature aspects of the “family” run business that it is. As the project unfolded, we were pleased to find the Ultimate staff to be very patient with us and thoroughly responsive to all our questions and requests. Final result: We are now very happily settled back into our “new” home. Thanks for everything, Ultimate Team, you’re the best!!- James P

"This company and staff are very organized, knowledgeable of construction techniques, and most important honest and fair."

We are extremely pleased in recommending Danny Ritchie's company Ultimate Homes and Renovations. This Company and Staff are very organized, knowledgeable of Construction techniques, and most important honest and fair. It was a pleasure dealing with a person and company that can be trusted. They are committed to doing all they say and know what they are capable of doing. We are very pleased with the work they did in our home renovation and will be forever thankful we contacted Danny to do our renovation.- Lynden & Heidi H

"...we are thrilled with how our experience with Ultimate turned out."

After a winter in our 'new' basement, I can say we are thrilled with how our experience with Ultimate turned out. We were wanting a warmer, more inviting space, and Ultimate helped us get there. From our first meet and greet where we shared our ideas, Ultimate helped guide us with what could work, what wouldn't work and what would definitely work. Throughout the process we never felt rushed or pressured, and it was Ultimate that was accommodating with their time when we had to delay the start date due to illness in our household. During construction we were impressed with how well the team cleaned up at the end of each day. Ultimate did a great job to try and keep dust and debris levels down. Another highlight of our experience was just how easy it was to reach out if needed, be heard, and any question or concern was taken of quickly. If needed in the future, we would look at using Ultimate again, and we would recommend Ultimate to anyone.- Shane M

"We are over the moon happy with our renovation."

Ultimate Renovations undertook a major renovation of our Willow Park (Calgary) bungalow. This reno included our main floor (kitchen, dining room, living room, front entry), back landing and two bathrooms. Paul, Danny, Darryl, Miriam, Keith, Corrine, Todd, Shay and team were absolutely fantastic to deal with. Ultimate Renovations staff are very professional and they guided us through the renovation process with innovative design concepts, appropriate timelines and schedules, excellent quality product and craftsmanship with in house trades and technical team, beautiful custom cabinet and railing design, plus they delivered product and installations on time and within budget. We are over the moon happy with our renovation. Thank you Ultimate for making our house the home of our dreams.- Dale & Dana K

"This is one of the finest companies and groups of people we have ever worked with..."

"We were worried our plan was a bit too 'small potatoes' for them but they treated us like we were the most important customers!"

It is not everyday that you find a company that is true to their word and run well. So when it does happen on the rare occasion, I think it's important to let others know. My husband and I chatted about moving our kitchen island and expanding our space. We contacted Ultimate Renovations and were so impressed by their professionalism. Both Danny and Paul came right to our home to meet and discuss. We were worried our plan was a bit too "small potatoes" for them but they treated us like we were the most important customers! After hearing our ideas and offering some sage wisdom, they called us back and presented us with a detailed report outlining all procedures and costs. Nothing was left out and we left that meeting with a very clear understanding of exactly what the job would entail. We appreciated their thorough and transparent approach and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a home reno. - Candice R

"From the first day to the final day, each and every person we met who had a hand (or heart) in our project was simply outstanding."

"The skill and workmanship of the workers is unquestioned."

After almost 20 years in the same kitchen, my wife and I decided it was time to upgrade from the old cabinetry and open up some space. We had several renovation companies give us quotes but Ultimate gave us ideas. We ended up changing the entire kitchen layout and we're ecstatic with the results. The skill and workmanship of the workers is unquestioned. Every detail is observed. One of the most positive experiences was the good nature of all the contractors coming into our home. The only problem that I have with our new kitchen and living space is that we can't keep the kids out of it! When the time comes to renovate our basement, Ultimate will be getting a call.- Don M

"...I can not say enough of the staff, quality, support and workmanship provided throughout the whole process."

We are extremely happy with Ultimate's commitment on our renovation project. The project was finished on time and budget and I can not say enough of the staff, quality, support and workmanship provided throughout the whole process. Also, the responsiveness to our inquiries was excellent. And with having a big Newfoundland dog to manage in between, they have been the most respectful and dog friendly people we could hope for! A special thanks to our project manager Kieren that has gone above and beyond to help us during the project with constant updates and true commitment.- Caroline G

"We are very pleased with the final result and stress free process."

"We would definitely not only turn to Ultimate again for a renovation project but also highly recommend them to friends."

"We highly recommend this Calgary-based company for all your quality renovation needs."

My wife and I were first introduced to the superb design and workmanship of Ultimate Renovations 20 years ago (2004) when they renovated our award-winning bungalow. It was a 4-month tear down and rebuild project and completed on time and on budget. To date the project has stood the test of time for quality and appearance. In the last two decades, we have hired Ultimate 4 more times for major projects including converting the inclosed basement to a walkout, two upgraded bathrooms, a complete rebuild of a lower laundry room and a most enjoyable 400 sq. foot outdoor living space with TV, BB-Q, cooktop, wood burning fireplace and overhead gas heater. We spend ample time outside for 6-7 months per year with this addition, dismissing the chilly Calgary summer and fall evenings. Of all the five jobs, we recently had the first call back for an issue under the laundry room floor. Although it was completed 4 years prior, Ultimate was quick to send out a crew and do a one day repair, hassle free and no charge. Once again Ultimate Renovations came through for us with their always professional and friendly employees. We highly recommend this Calgary-based company for all your quality renovation needs.- Randy K

"We can't speak highly enough of the service, professionalism and craftsmanship."

"Ultimate Renovations is definitely a high-quality operation."

Ultimate Renovations did two basement development projects for us. We were very happy with the outcomes of both projects and would not hesitate to recommend them to any homeowner contemplating a basement development, a home renovation or any other home modification. In the design phase, we were very pleased with the guidance provided by the Ultimate team on how best to do both developments. Project management during construction was excellent, costs were as expected and the work was done on schedule. The Project Manager (Bob) was always available to promptly address our questions and concerns. They also diligently followed-up after completion to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the finished work. Ultimate Renovations is definitely a high-quality operation.- Jack B

"Their process from start to finish is the best I've experienced and I've done a lot of renovating over the years."

"They truly helped to make the house we reside in, our home."

We were so pleased with the work of Ultimate years ago; they were our definite go-to when we considered our recent bathroom renovation. The quality of workmanship was top-notch, and we are so glad we did. From the large items right down to the little details, the folks from Ultimate made sure we were satisfied with the work done. We would and continue to recommend Ultimate to our friends and neighbours for interior and exterior renovations. They truly helped to make the house we reside in, our home.- Jo M

"We would highly recommend Ultimate as a company to work with."

"Do yourself and your family a favour and get a quote from this outstanding company."

Your search for a renovator is over! Seriously, do yourself and your family a favour and get a quote from this outstanding company. While this was by far our biggest undertaking, we had already used other companies to renovate our kitchen and main bathroom. While very satisfied with the results of those projects, the process pales in comparison with Ultimate Renovations. Bar none, this is the finest company and group of people we have ever had the pleasure to work with! Their quote is highly detailed (and they truly listen to what you want). I couldn't get over how much of the stress is removed by dealing with such an impeccably organized, professional group! It's your home, why not make your renovation a pleasure by choosing to work with Ultimate Renovations!- Chris A

"From the initial walk through it was evident we made the right decision."

"Ultimate Homes and Renovations exceeded our expectations."

A very satisfying experience, and we love our home! Everyone we dealt with was very helpful and knowledgeable. Any time we had a design change to make, we were met with a “smile” and a “can-do” attitude. They were available at all times to answer our questions before, during, and even after the project was complete! The customer service provided made the home renovation process as stress-free as possible. They kept us informed of the cost throughout the entire process, and there were no hidden expenses when the final payment was due. Ultimate Homes and Renovations exceeded our expectations, and we definitely recommend them!- Trevor J

I need some inspiration. Can you help?

Neutral colours are definitely in right now, but so are textures and patterns. What matters most in a bathroom renovation is that the design and style reflect your personality and help you feel relaxed and happy. Our in-house interior designers can make recommendations and help you decide on an aesthetic that matches your style.

How long will a bathroom reno take?

At Ultimate Renovations, we take our time with the planning and design phases of our projects, knowing that a well-planned project results in a faster turnaround for construction. Overall, timelines vary based on the extent of the project.

Do I require a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Bathroom renovations require the necessary permits for plumbing and electrical as well as certain building permits if there are any changes to your home’s structure. We keep things simple for you by acquiring all necessary permits on your behalf.

Everything You Need to
Know About Our Process

As bathroom contractors in Calgary, we believe that you deserve a luxury bathroom — after all, it’s where you start and end your day. Finding the balance between design and functionality is what we do best. Because bathrooms often accompany a more extensive remodel, we can provide temporary accommodations for you and your family away from the noise and mess of our construction site. However, if you choose to stay in your home, our crew will maintain a safe, contained, and relatively clean workspace to minimize any disruption to your routine. And, because we do everything we can to streamline the construction process, we’ll be gone before you know it.

Let’s get started today!

What Affects Bathroom Renovation Cost in Calgary

Bathroom renovation in Calgary changes cost based on four variables: fixture count, plumbing relocation, layout changes, and finish selections. Moving a toilet or shower drain to a new wall position requires cutting into the slab or subfloor. That adds labor time beyond a straight fixture swap. Homeowners searching for bathroom renovation in Calgary often underestimate how much plumbing relocation adds to a quote.

Layout Changes and Finish Selections

Bathroom renovation cost shifts when a shower and tub swap positions or a doorway moves to fit a larger vanity because it touches framing, drywall, and sometimes ductwork. Finish selections drive the widest cost swings. Porcelain tile versus natural stone alone can shift a finish budget by thousands.

Four Cost Factors in a Calgary Bathroom Renovation

Fixture count and plumbing relocation determine how much cutting into the slab or subfloor a project requires.
Layout changes that move a shower, tub, or doorway add framing and drywall work beyond a fixture swap.
Finish selections, including tile grade and countertop material, create the widest range within a bathroom remodel budget.
Permit and inspection requirements, covered below, add both time and cost to the project.

Bathroom renovation cost factors compound when several changes stack on one project. Confirming costs before construction begins protects against change order fees once walls are open. Reviewing a fixed-cost quoting process before signing a contract shows how a contractor prices plumbing relocation.

What a Bathroom Renovation in Calgary Involves

Bathroom renovation in Calgary follows a sequence: design and material selection, permitting, demolition, rough-in work, and finishing. Design and material selection happens first because tile, fixtures, and cabinetry lead times affect the project timeline. Rough-in work covers the plumbing and electrical behind the walls, and it must pass inspection before drywall goes back up.

Bathroom renovation projects that involve plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, or structural wall changes typically require a permit in Calgary. A simple fixture swap with no relocation usually does not. Ventilation upgrades also fall under permit review, since bathroom moisture control is a building code requirement.

Where Permits Typically Apply

Relocating a toilet, sink, or shower drain typically requires a plumbing permit.
Adding or moving circuits for lighting, heated flooring, or a new exhaust fan typically requires an electrical permit.
Removing or altering a structural wall typically requires a building permit and an engineer’s review.
A waterproof membrane and moisture barrier behind tile in wet areas matters regardless of permit scope.

We help confirm exact permit requirements with the City of Calgary before construction starts, since requirements vary by project scope. Following our renovation process from design through permitting reduces the risk of a failed inspection holding up the project.

Which Certifications a Calgary Contractor Should Carry

Bathroom renovation contractors in Calgary carry varying levels of verification. Three credentials separate vetted companies from unverified ones: RenoMark certification, Alberta Renovation Warranty Program membership, and Better Business Bureau (BBB) membership. RenoMark is a Canadian Home Builders’ Association program built around a signed code of conduct. All three credentials are verifiable independently. Ultimate Renovations has all three.

Other Trust Signals Worth Checking

Bathroom renovation firms in Calgary also differentiate through award history, media coverage, and baseline licensing. Ultimate Renovations has won Renovator of the Year twelve times and been featured in the Calgary Herald as a top renovator. A general contractor business license through the City of Calgary is a baseline check, though it does not verify craftsmanship. Liability insurance and WCB coverage protect homeowners if a worker is injured on site.

Checking these bathroom renovation credentials takes minutes. Homeowners can verify RenoMark and Alberta Renovation Warranty Program status directly through those organizations rather than relying on a company’s own claims. Reading the company’s story alongside its credentials shows how long a contractor has operated in Calgary.

Small Ensuite vs. Full Bathroom Renovation Scope

Bathroom renovation scope in Calgary splits broadly into two categories: a small ensuite update and a full bathroom renovation. A small bathroom renovation and a small ensuite renovation are often used interchangeably by Calgary homeowners. Both typically keep the existing footprint and plumbing locations while focusing on new fixtures, tile, and a vanity. A full bathroom renovation often changes the layout, including moving a shower, expanding a doorway, or converting a tub into a walk-in shower.

A small ensuite renovation in Calgary generally costs less because it avoids structural and major plumbing changes. A full bathroom renovation involves layout changes that increase both labor and material cost. Luxury bathroom remodel projects, whether small ensuite or full scope, add features like heated flooring, a soaker tub, or custom vanities.

Small Ensuite vs. Full Renovation at a Glance

Factor	Small Ensuite Renovation	Full Bathroom Renovation
Plumbing	Fixtures stay in place	Fixtures may be relocated
Layout	Existing footprint kept	Footprint or doorway may change
Typical additions	New fixtures, tile, vanity	Heated flooring, soaker tub, custom vanity

Choosing between the two comes down to whether the existing layout still fits the household’s needs. A family adding a bathroom as part of a home addition project faces different scope questions than someone updating an existing ensuite.

How a Design-Build Process Cuts Renovation Surprises

Bathroom renovation projects run into cost surprises most often when quotes are priced before design details are finalized. A contractor who quotes before selecting tile, fixtures, and layout leaves room for the number to change once construction starts. Ultimate Renovations confirms costs before construction begins, closing that gap between the initial quote and the final invoice.

That approach solves a common problem: change order fees added mid-project when unexpected costs surface after demolition. A fixed-cost process prices plumbing relocation, permit fees, and finish selections into the original quote rather than discovering them once walls are open.

Fixture choices like a walk-in shower conversion, a soaker tub, or heated flooring get priced at the design stage. That keeps them off the change order list later. Homeowners searching for bathroom renovation in Calgary should ask any contractor whether the quote is fixed before signing.

Who a Calgary Bathroom Renovation Makes Sense For

Bathroom renovation in Calgary tends to suit owners of established, older homes in neighborhoods like Elbow Valley, Varsity, and Lake Bonavista. Original bathrooms in these homes often have not been updated in decades. These homeowners typically value craftsmanship, custom-built storage, and a turnkey design-build process over managing trades separately, and they research contractors extensively before hiring. A household planning to stay long-term gets the most value from a full-scope renovation.

Outdated fixtures, failing grout, or a layout that no longer fits daily routines are common triggers for reaching out. Homeowners preparing to sell sometimes renovate a primary bathroom to increase resale value. Most Ultimate Renovations clients renovate to stay, though, rather than to list. Comparing several quotes is easiest when a household asks each contractor about permit handling and fixed-cost confirmation upfront.
