Are you in the market to renovate your Calgary-area home? While the thought of a home renovation may be exciting, it can also be somewhat unnerving as well. What if you run out of funds? What if you forget to tell your contractor about an important part of the project until they’re almost finished? How will you find an electrician, plumber, painter, and drywaller who all work together? How will you live in your home while it’s a construction zone?
At Kay2 Contracting, we know that taking on a home remodel of any kind is a huge decision that comes with a long list of questions, and we’ve taken all of the guesswork out of the process. Our home renovation packages are laid out in the planning process and signed by both parties. We walk you through each step of your remodel, answer any questions you have, and make sure that you know exactly what you’re getting before you sign on the dotted line.

Home Renovation Services
Kitchen Renovations
Are you getting tired of your kitchen? Maybe you don’t have enough cabinet space to accommodate your growing family, or perhaps you entertain frequently and would like to create an open layout that allows everyone to gather in one place. At Kay2 Contracting, we can help you create the kitchen of your dreams. Here are just a few of the kitchen renovations we can help you take on!
- Countertops: Nothing brings a newly remodeled kitchen to life quite like new countertops. Whether you’re looking for something similar to your current countertops or you’re interested in natural stone countertops, we can work with you to find the perfect material and color for your remodel.
- Backsplash: While kitchen backsplashes were originally designed to be more functional than aesthetically pleasing, contemporary kitchen designs often utilize backsplashes to accent cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and other fixtures in the kitchen. Our kitchen remodeling experts can help you design something that utilizes just the space above your sink, or something that spans the entire length of your new kitchen!
- Sinks and plumbing: Many homes in the Calgary area were built decades ago with old and outdated plumbing. If your sink leaks, drains slowly, or doesn’t fit into your aesthetic preferences, then Kay2 Contracting can help you find a new fixture that perfectly matches your new design. We can also help you repair your plumbing and ensure that you have a fully functional kitchen when the project is finished!
- Lighting: Is your kitchen too dark? Proper lighting is essential when you’re preparing a meal or hosting guests, and we can help you create a perfectly illuminated space with lighting fixtures you love. We’ll walk you through ambient lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting to ensure that your new kitchen is ready for use at any time of the day.
- Flooring: Whether you’ve owned your home for years or you recently moved in, it’s important to have kitchen flooring that ties the entire space together. Our kitchen remodeling contractors can help you install hardwood floors, vinyl, tile, or anything else you’d like to use in your kitchen remodel!
These are just a few of the many kitchen features we can help you install — call our remodeling contractors for more in-depth information!
Bathroom Renovations
As one of the most intimate spaces in your home, it’s important that your bathroom provides you with a beautiful and fully functional space. While our primary aim is to help you create the bathroom of your dreams, we also want to help you avoid dealing with the frustrations of water damage. As we mentioned in the previous section, many homes in Calgary and Edmonton were built with old and less-than-ideal plumbing fixtures, and you don’t want a broken pipe to cost you thousands in infrastructure damage.
Whether you’re replacing your sink with a new fixture or taking on a full-scale bathroom renovation, Kay2 Contracting will provide you with top-of-the-line materials that will last for decades to come. Our best practice structure policies are rigorously adhered to by each member of our staff, and many of our policies exceed the industry’s standard safety requirements. You’re choosing peace of mind when you choose Kay2!
Bedroom Renovations
The average person spends approximately one-third of their life asleep. Given that so much of your life will be spent in a bedroom, shouldn’t yours be one that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed? At Kay2 Contracting, we know how important it is to have a refreshing and personalized bedroom, and our renovation contractors can help you with anything from master bedroom renovations to guest room additions. We’ll ensure that your new space is fully insulated, wired, and that it exceeds local code requirements!
Basement Renovations
Owning a home isn’t exactly cheap. Whether you have a long-term mortgage or you’ve already paid off your home, you should make the most of your investment! In addition to providing you with a significant amount of extra living space that you can use for a number of different purposes, investing in a basement remodel can add thousands of dollars to your home’s overall value.
We’ve helped homeowners across Calgary and Edmonton finish their basements with incredible features. From home theaters to basement bars and home gyms, we’ll work with you to bring your dreams to life without going over your budget!
Considerations
Keep the following points in mind as you plan out your custom home renovation project:
Budget
Your budget is perhaps the most important factor in your remodel. A budget that’s too small will force you to settle for items you’re not fully satisfied with, but leaving your budget open-ended can lead to uncomfortably high costs when the project has been completed. At Kay2 Contracting, we know that it can be difficult to estimate how much a remodel will cost, and that’s exactly why we’ll sit down with you to talk about which projects and ideas can be completed based on your budget.

Timeline
After you’ve determined your budget, you should have a rough idea of when you would like to have the renovations completed. We always work to complete projects within your given timeframe, and we even provide you with online updates about your remodel’s progress!
Style
As luxury home renovation experts, we’re familiar with all of the latest designs. Whether you want to give your farmhouse-inspired home a sleek and contemporary update or you want to bring multiple styles together, we’ll work with you to create a space you’re proud to call home. Let us know if you have reference photos or inspirations you’d like us to incorporate into your renovations!
Splurge items
Your budget is going to have an upper range in which you’re comfortable (this is also referred to as an allowance), and we recommend thinking about which items you’d really like to put your money toward. Maybe you’ve always wanted a luxury shower with a waterfall head in your bathroom, or perhaps you’ve had your eye on granite countertops for as long as you can remember. While we’ll never push you to spring for items that are out of your price range, we do recommend investing in items that will add even more satisfaction and value to your remodel. You’ll be living with your choices for as long as you remain in your home, so make sure that you’re completely happy with everything. In 10 years, we can almost guarantee that you won’t regret spending a bit more to invest in your long-term happiness!
Why Invest in Home Renovations?
Added Value
Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your lifetime, so take all of the opportunities you have to make it even more lucrative! Adding square footage in your remodel can add a significant amount to your home’s value, but even if you don’t add extra space, updating different rooms throughout your home will almost certainly boost its resale value.
While the total value added by a home remodeling project will differ from client to client, you can always ask our renovation contractors how much your can expect from your project. We can also provide you with information about how much you can expect to recover if you decide to sell your home!
Less Maintenance
As we discussed in the kitchen remodeling section, outdated plumbing and fixtures will have to be updated at one point or another. While some remodeling contractors will leave shoddy plumbing in place and leave it up to you to find someone who can fix it at a later date, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive overview of everything that needs to be addressed. Whether your kitchen plumbing could stand to be replaced or the foundation in another area needs to be reinforced, Kay2 Contracting has your best interests in mind. We’ll only recommend an update if it ultimately benefits you and your home!
Reduced Utilities
Are you tired of paying high utility bills? As an environmentally minded Calgary contracting company, we have a wide variety of ways to help you reduce the bottom line on your monthly utility bills. For instance, we can help you install larger windows or skylights that fill your home with natural light, in turn reducing your reliance on electricity. We can also help you outfit your home with energy-efficient insulation that helps you maintain a stable and comfortable temperature throughout the day — just get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to provide you with personalized recommendations for your home!
Curb Appeal
If you plan to sell your home in the near future, then a home renovation project is easily one of the best ways to make it more appealing to buyers. Put yourself in their shoes — would you want to have to invest in kitchen renovations or a master bedroom remodel after moving into a new home? Whether you’ve decided to remodel most of your home or you’ve picked one or two areas to improve, you can count on buyers being impressed by your renovations both in pictures and when they show up for an in-person tour!
Our Process
At Kay2 Contracting, we’re proud to have a completely transparent and client-friendly process. We’ll start off with a free consultation in which we get to know you, your needs, and if we’re the right remodeling contractors for the job. After that, you can expect to meet with us regarding:
Vision
We’ll schedule you an appointment with one of our estimators to help you determine what the remodel will cost. We’ll help you create a wish list and do everything we can to complete your project with leftover funds!
Design
After we’ve determined your budget and wish list, we’ll provide you with design mockups that allow you to see what the completed project will look like. We’ll give you a few different options to consider, and we’ll happily make revisions until you’re completely satisfied. Once we’ve settled on a design you love, we’ll set a realistic timeline and get to work on the permits and materials we need to get started!
Build
This stage of the process is relatively straightforward — we get to work! We’ll cover everything you need to know about staying safe while construction is in progress if you’ll be staying in your home, and we’ll always let you know about changes to your plumbing or electricity that need to be made. Our team will treat your home like it’s their own and clean up leftover materials and debris at the end of the work day.
Completion
This is the moment you’ve been looking forward to since your consultation! Once your project has been completed, we’ll walk you through each and every change we made and ensure that you’re fully satisfied with the work.
