What to Expect From
a New Home Build

Constructing from scratch offers a unique and exciting ability to handpick every aspect of your home. While our team can handle bathroom and kitchen renovations in Calgary of any magnitude, typical remodelling does present some limitations. When you start from scratch, everything from your kitchen to your luxury bathroom will be exactly as you envision without the need to make concessions for space or budget. At Ultimate Renovations, our custom homes are the whole package, from developed basements to exterior landscaping.

Why Hire a Custom
Home Builder?

Custom builds offer several advantages over renovations in Calgary. When it comes to traditional renos, there will always be some unavoidable limitations, such as size and location. New homes, on the other hand, can be built virtually anywhere, not just in newer developments. If you love your current location but want to start from scratch, we perform demolitions and infills. Or, if you’ve purchased a lot outside the city, we can build the home of your dreams to complete your country living lifestyle. Versatility, dependability, and quality are what we have to offer.

How We Build
Custom Homes

The scope of your project will depend on our analysis of your lot size and shape, site lines, sun exposure, neighbourhood location and architectural guidelines, building and development permits, and of course, your personal vision for the house. We believe that the most vital aspect of every new home is the design, which is why we take our time planning the project. During this time, our architectural designers apply their skills and expertise to develop brilliant blueprints. Our project managers can then confirm the pricing of all work and materials before construction to eliminate hidden and unexpected fees. With a detailed plan in place, the building phase is faster, and our in-house cabinet manufacturers, contractors, and crew can work more efficiently.

Testimonials

"Ultimate was wonderful to work with and exceeded our expectations."

"We would not hesitate to recommend this company for personable and professional service."

We worked with ultimate Homes and Renovations to develop an exterior renovation plan for our house. Marc, the company vice president, worked with us to develop our vision and provide us with an overall cost quote that was fully adhered to. Marc was easy to contact anytime with questions, and he communicated regularly with all the sub-contractors involved. He visited the site frequently to assess the progress. All the sub-contractors were respectful, courteous, completed their part efficiently, and took pride in their work. Overall, we are extremely happy with the completed upgrade, which fits exactly with our initial vision. We would not hesitate to recommend this company for personable and professional service. - Benjamin R.

"We will definitely recommend Ultimate to others and will hire them again."

"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.

"The quality of workmanship was phenomenal."

"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.

"We were impressed by everything Danny and his team brought to the table."

While filming Season 7 of Property Brothers in Calgary AB, we were pleased to have Danny of Ultimate Renovations on board as one of our Construction Leads. Requiring a keen eye for detail and an ability to remain calm under pressure; it’s a notoriously challenging position. But right from the start, we were impressed by everything Danny and his team brought to the table. The final hours of a project can make or break an episode of our show, and Danny and his team proved themselves to be goal-oriented team players who kept focused and composed until the big reveal.- Jonathon Scott & Drew Scott
Property Brothers Team

"Over the last decade, Ultimate has been our renovator of choice."

Over the last decade, Ultimate has been our renovator of choice for a new roof, new siding (both of which were to replace inferior work done by other companies), new doors, new triple glazed windows (locally made), new flooring, new interior paint, and new baseboards. We have always appreciated Marc’s input and his honest, get-to-the-point attitude. We have noted that, with Ultimate, the service does not stop when the work is finished. Marc has noticed a few minor details years later and has had them fixed quickly with no fuss or questions. - Ian H.

"Highly recommend for anyone looking to renovate!"

"I would use this company for any future renovation."

Ultimate re-sided our house, replaced our brick-work in the front of the house with stone, and a back door. Overall a great group to work with. We had Steve W. do the siding, and he did an excellent job notwithstanding having to contend with us also having some landscape work done at the same time. The company was very accommodating about helping us work around this. I would use this company for any future renovation; they are honest, don't try and up-sell you, will give you a straight answer on what you need to do (or not), and what things will look like (even if it means telling you that your idea may not be the best way to approach things).- Family E.

"We were so fortunate to be in great hands with Danny and the team at Ultimate."

Ultimate Homes was responsible for renovating our house featured on the Property Brother's HGTV show. It was a tremendous undertaking for Ultimate considering the short timelines and the demand for high quality. And they delivered! Ultimate worked tirelessly to renovate our house into our dream home. The crew was impeccably professional and highly skilled. Even after the camera crew was gone, Ultimate has been very responsive for touchups and guarantees the quality of their product. We were so fortunate to be in great hands with Danny and the team at Ultimate. The whole process was a whirlwind and they definitely were on our side the whole time.- Keith K.

"Top-notch company and workmanship."

We had a big job ahead of us – window replacements throughout our bungalow, exterior doors, siding, some stonework, soffits, facia and gutters. Working with Marc and his team at Ultimate made the process a lot easier and relatively stress-free (no reno is completely stress-free when living in the house). We appreciated their expertise and honesty about what would work best given what we were looking for and our budget. The minor changes we requested were always met without difficulty, and the finished product is fantastic. Top-notch company and workmanship.- Cheryl L

"THANKS, Ultimate Renovations."

Then last week one of the locks on a window broke. I called Ultimate to get a recommendation for a window repair company. The person who answered my call was Danny Ritchie. After all these years, he still remembered who I was, and the house. I told him what the issue was. He said he would stop by and have a look to see if he could fix the lock on the window. Danny was able to correct the issue with the lock and the window works as before. And the cost for the repair, no charge. THANKS, Ultimate Renovations.- Brian B.

"I can't thank them enough for referring us to such an amazing company."

When we were ready to re-side our home (originally stucco), we were referred to Ultimate by a friend who had used them to do similar work on their home. I can't thank them enough for referring us to such an amazing company. From the moment we met Marc, Shannon and the team, we were impressed not only by their knowledge of products but their ability to work WITH us. We wanted a lot done, but our budget was tight. Marc helped us achieve our expectations while staying within our budget (which is amazing- a lot of companies will try to upsell you, and I can say Ultimate is NOT one of them). I can honestly say there hasn't been a day gone by since the house was finished that someone, whether a neighbour or someone walking their dog, comments on how beautiful our home looks. Thank you to everyone for being so amazing!!! We will definitely use them again for future projects. - Karen M.

"If every renovation was like this people wouldn't hesitate to get work done."

We got referred to Danny and his team by another contractor who told us that we'd be well served to get an experienced and well regarded contractor to replace the roof on our atrium/conservatory addition on the back of our house. After reviewing the plans from the city, Ultimate Renovations confirmed that they could do the job and then set out to do it in clinical fashion. The team that did our roof was top notch and the communication with the team - led by Bob and Jeff and their extremely professional crew - was exceptional. If every renovation was like this people wouldn't hesitate to get work done. While they were at it they replaced our deck which looks great. All in all the end product was awesome and can't commend their communication skills enough!- Blair K.

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

"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.

"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.

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

"Clean, professional and meticulous in his work!"

"Professional, honest, informed and far exceeded our expectations"

I called Ultimate to inquire information about a project that was complex and involved a full tear out and add on and a quote needed to be provided prior to project approval. It was clear from the moment Danny answered the call, customer service, valuing the customer, and integrity were core values of his company. Danny and Paul arrived at the site and the feedback provided was professional, honest, informed and far exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate recommending Ultimate Renovations - Lauer

"Excellent communication and upfront information on their process and costs."

"Would highly recommend Ultimate for any work that you may need done."

"I am always impressed with the quality of workmanship shown by all the employees and contractors who worked on the project."

"We couldn’t be happier with the finished product."

"Ultimate Renovations delivered on time, and we are extremely happy with the end product and would highly recommend them."

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

"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.

What is the difference between custom and production home builders?

Custom home builders work in small volumes on land purchased or owned by the homeowner. The word ‘custom’ means you’ll have a significant say in the size, layout, and finishings. Production builders work in mass volume in new neighbourhoods and city developments. Their designs are similar across every floorplan, and homeowners can typically control only some of the finishings.

Is it cheaper to buy or build?

In some cases, building a new home can be more cost-effective than buying an existing house, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be cheaper overall. However, when you build a custom home, you can be 100% sure it’s everything you want, while the money needed for repairs and renos of an existing house could end up being quite costly.

What is the most expensive part of building a house?

The most expensive part of any new build is the framing. The price is due to the high cost of wood and the skill needed to adhere closely to the provided blueprint.
