Home renovation by Ace Homes

Approach

Honour the bones. Rebuild the rest.

The best Calgary inner-city renovations keep what makes a home feel like a home: scale, light, the way it sits on the street. We rework the layout, the systems, and the finishes around that, so the renovation reads as a continuation rather than a replacement.

What we renovate

Six types of renovation we deliver.

Kitchens

Open kitchen renovations: islands, hidden pantries, integrated appliances, and the cabinetry profiles that hold up over time.

How a renovation runs

From walk-through to keys.

Renovations have more unknowns than new builds. Our process is built around catching them early so the budget and timeline you sign on day one are the ones you possess on.

  1. 01

    Walk and quote

    We visit the home, listen to what isn't working, and quote a feasibility scope. Free, no commitment, and we'll be honest about whether the renovation makes financial sense versus a teardown.

  2. 02

    Design and selections

    Floor plans, elevations, finish selections, and material boards. You see the home before we touch it, and we lock the budget once you sign off.

  3. 03

    Demolition and rebuild

    On-site team manages demo, structural changes, mechanical, finish carpentry, and trades. One project manager, weekly updates, dated delivery.

  4. 04

    Possession and aftercare

    Final walkthrough, deficiency list, and 30/60/90-day check-ins. Progressive Home Warranty applies to the renovated scope.

Why buy from Ace

More than a finished house. A home built around how you live.

These aren't spec builds chasing volume. Every home in our inventory is the same calibre as our presales: custom-designed for a specific inner-city lot, finished by trades we've worked with for years, and held to the same standard of detail as a build you'd start from scratch.

When you buy an Ace home, you get award-winning craftsmanship from a team that treats every project as their own. Every home is backed by Progressive Home Warranty and our after-possession support, so the relationship doesn't end at the keys.

Renovation FAQ

Common questions about home renovations.

We do feasibility walks before you commit. The honest answer depends on the bones of the home, lot value, and what you want to change. If the structure is good and your goal is updating finishes and reworking layout, renovating usually wins. If half the home needs to be replaced anyway, a teardown may be more cost-effective.
It depends on the scope. Single-room renovations and isolated zones (a basement, an ensuite) can usually be done with the family in residence. Whole-home revivals and major structural changes are not livable, and we'll plan for that on the schedule.
Single-room renovations typically run six to twelve weeks. Whole-home revivals and major additions run four to six months. Like new builds, we give you a delivery window and update it monthly.
Anything structural, electrical, plumbing, or affecting the building envelope requires permits. Cosmetic-only work usually doesn't. We handle every required permit, inspection, and city interaction so you don't have to.
Renovations done by Ace are covered under Progressive Home Warranty for the scope of work completed. We schedule 30/60/90-day check-ins after possession to handle deficiency items and the warranty continues from there.
