Renovating in St. Albert

St. Albert is its own city with its own permitting office, separate from Edmonton. We handle City of St. Albert permits and inspections so your renovation is fully compliant.

St. Albert's housing stock spans several decades, and the era shapes the project. The older established neighbourhoods — Grandin, Braeside, Forest Lawn, Sturgeon Heights, Mission and Akinsdale — are largely 1960s to early 1980s homes on mature, treed lots. They reward renovation: closed-off kitchens open up beautifully, original bathrooms are due, and basements were rarely finished to a standard anyone would want today. Lacombe Park, Heritage Lakes, Deer Ridge, Oakmont and Kingswood are mostly 1980s and 1990s, where the layouts are already more open and the work is usually kitchens, bathrooms and finishing the basement. Newer areas such as Erin Ridge North, North Ridge and Jensen Lakes are typically about upgrading builder-grade finishes and completing unfinished space.

Whichever vintage your home is, we assess it properly at the free on-site consultation — then the price is fixed before we start.

What We Build Here

Renovation work across St. Albert

Kitchen renovations in St. Albert

Kitchens in Grandin, Braeside and the other established neighbourhoods were designed as separate rooms, closed off from the living space and short on both counter and storage. Opening that wall changes how the whole main floor works — though if it carries load it needs a structural assessment and a permit before anything comes out. We deliver cabinetry, countertops, islands, backsplash, lighting and flooring as one coordinated scope on a single schedule. See our kitchen renovation service.

Bathroom renovations and ensuites

Most St. Albert bathroom projects fall into two groups: a main bath still on its original footprint with a tub-shower combination and poor ventilation, or an ensuite where the tub is rarely used and a proper walk-in shower would serve better. Both come down to the same fundamentals — a sound waterproofing assembly behind the tile, ventilation that actually vents outside, and lighting planned before the drywall closes. More on bathroom renovations, or read our 2026 St. Albert bathroom renovation cost & permit guide.

Basement development and secondary suites

Finishing a basement is the lowest cost per square foot way to add real living space, and in St. Albert's older neighbourhoods it is often the largest untouched area of the house. We build family and media rooms, home offices, guest bedrooms with compliant egress windows, wet bars and secondary suites. Suites are governed by the City of St. Albert's land use bylaw together with building code requirements for egress, ceiling height, fire separation and a separate entrance — all property-specific, so we confirm your address with the City before design begins. Moisture and grading get corrected before any framing goes up. See basement development.

Whole-home and interior renovations

When more than one room needs attention, running them as a single project is usually both cheaper and better: trades mobilise once, flooring runs unbroken between rooms, and trim, paint and hardware stay consistent throughout. We sequence the work and coordinate the trades against one schedule. Our St. Albert planning guide covers costs, sequencing and living through the work.

Commercial and office renovations

We also take on office fit-outs, retail spaces and tenant improvements in St. Albert. Commercial work is scheduled around the business rather than the other way round, with phased or after-hours sequencing where a space needs to keep operating. Permitting and code requirements run through the City of St. Albert and we identify what applies during the assessment. See commercial renovations.

St. Albert renovation questions

Do you pull City of St. Albert permits?

Yes. St. Albert is its own city with its own permitting office, separate from Edmonton, and we manage City of St. Albert permits and inspections as part of the project.

Which St. Albert neighbourhoods do you work in?

All of them — from the established areas like Grandin, Braeside, Forest Lawn and Akinsdale through to Lacombe Park, Oakmont, Erin Ridge and Jensen Lakes.

Do you build basement suites in St. Albert?

We build basement living space and secondary suites where the property allows. Suites are governed by the City of St. Albert's land use bylaw plus building code requirements for egress, ceiling height, fire separation and a separate entrance, so we confirm your specific address with the City before designing.

Do you take on commercial projects in St. Albert?

Yes — office fit-outs, retail spaces and tenant improvements, scheduled around your operating hours where the business needs to stay open.

How long does a renovation take?

Roughly two to four weeks on site for a bathroom, six to ten weeks for a kitchen, and four to eight weeks for a basement. Permitting and material lead times add to the front end.
