Frequently asked questions
Do you do full gut renovations or just finishing work?
Our renovation work focuses on the finishing and cosmetic scope: cabinet painting, tile, fixture installation, drywall, painting, trim and hardware. We do not do structural demolition, plumbing rough-in or electrical panel work — those require licensed trades. What we handle is the large category of renovation tasks that define the final look of a space without requiring a licensed contractor.
Who does the work — Steve personally or a crew?
Steve personally completes every job. There are no subcontractors, no strangers sent to your home. You meet Steve when you book, and Steve does the work.
Do you pull permits for renovation work?
The renovation tasks we handle — cabinet painting, tile installation, vanity swaps, drywall patching, painting and trim — are cosmetic scope and do not require permits in Calgary under the Alberta Building Code. If your project requires structural changes, plumbing rerouting or new electrical circuits, those need a licensed contractor and permits, which we can advise on.
How long does a kitchen refresh take?
A kitchen cabinet painting project typically takes 2–3 days: day one for prep (cleaning, deglossing, priming), day two for first topcoat, day three for final coat and hardware reinstall. Adding new backsplash tile is an additional 1–2 days depending on the area. Faucet swaps are same-day.
What areas do you serve for renovation work?
We serve all Calgary quadrants — NW, NE, SW and SE — plus Cochrane and Airdrie. No travel charges inside Calgary.
