How We Bring Your Dream Kitchen to Life

Most people expect that full house remodeling in Calgary is a massive hassle. In our experience, it depends on the company you choose to hire. At Ultimate, we plan everything ahead of time to eliminate any surprises in the process.Our project managers confirm the labour plan and timeline with you before construction begins. It isn’t easy to function without your kitchen, so we provide temporary accommodations for our clients to make the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. We like to think of it as sending you on a mini-vacation before you come home to a nearly unrecognizable house!

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 Renovations 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

"...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 Renovations turned out. We were wanting a warmer, more inviting space, and Ultimate Renovations 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

"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

"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 Renovations will be getting a call.- Don M

"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."

From the first meeting to the last step of our outdoor living space project, Ultimate's team delivered a professional as well as friendly service. Our ideas and questions were always responded to respectfully and promptly. The final product is much more than we'd originally imagined, providing a beautiful and welcoming additional space to our home and backyard. We would definitely not only turn to Ultimate Renovations again for a renovation project but also highly recommend them to friends.- Patti T

"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

"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 Renovations 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

How long is the kitchen remodelling process?

The length of time it takes to complete your kitchen renovation will depend on the scale of your project, how quickly you move through the design and selections process, and how soon we can get started.

In a perfect scenario, the construction phase of an average kitchen renovation will take anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months after you’ve finalized your plans.

Do I require a permit for a kitchen renovation?

Most full kitchen renovations in Calgary need a building permit plus separate electrical, plumbing, and gas permits. The building permit covers structural work such as removing a wall or enlarging an opening. The City of Calgary issues electrical, plumbing, and gas permits separately, and each applies whenever the project alters that system. A cosmetic update that keeps the same layout and leaves the building systems alone typically needs no permit. Ultimate Renovations applies for every required permit on your behalf once the design and scope are signed off.

How should I prepare for a kitchen remodeling?

As you prepare for a kitchen renovation in Calgary, review our step-by-step renovation planning process to set a budget, determine priorities, and make preliminary decisions on finishes, appliances, and upgrades.

Where should I start with a kitchen renovation?

We offer fully custom kitchen renovations in Calgary, meaning the possibilities are endless. However, included standard in each of our kitchens is:

Full-height, custom-built cabinetry finished to the ceiling
‘Blumotion’ soft-close doors, full-extension drawers, and European hardware
3 kitchen accessories, such as garbage/recycling pull-outs
Full-height backsplash
Minimum 3-foot grid LED pot-lights

How Ultimate Renovations Prices a Kitchen Renovation in Calgary

Ultimate Renovations quotes each kitchen renovation in Calgary as one all-inclusive price rather than an itemized list of labour, cabinetry, and material costs. Homeowners receive an initial estimate after the complimentary in-home consultation. The full cost is then confirmed in writing once the design, budget, and scope of work are signed off, and that happens before construction begins.Anything added after sign-off gets priced in a detailed written change order first. The homeowner decides whether the addition is worth the extra investment before that work proceeds.

Permits Required for a Kitchen Renovation in Calgary

A kitchen renovation in Calgary can require several permits at once. A building permit covers structural work, such as removing a wall or enlarging an opening. The City of Calgary issues electrical, plumbing, and gas permits separately, and each applies whenever a project alters that system. A cosmetic update that keeps the same layout and leaves the building systems alone typically needs none.Ultimate Renovations applies for every required permit on the homeowner’s behalf. Permits, trades, and project management are all handled inside our four-stage renovation process in Calgary, once the design and scope are signed off.
