Condo Renovation in Calgary: A Real Unit, Before and After

THE SHORT ANSWER

A condo renovation covers everything a house renovation does, plus the building: board approval, elevator bookings, working-hour limits and corridor protection. This page shows one of our own Calgary condo projects from summer 2025, photographed before, during and after the work.

What makes a condo renovation different from a house?

Condos add a layer that houses never have: the building itself. Board approvals, elevator bookings, working-hour rules, protecting the corridor and the neighbours from dust and noise. The work inside the unit is familiar; the discipline around it is what separates a smooth condo project from an angry building. We handle that part so you never hear from your board.

The project: a full condo refresh, summer 2025

This Calgary condo went through a complete refresh over June to August 2025. We documented all three stages: how it looked when we walked in, the work in progress, and the finished unit.

A short walkthrough of the finished unit

How do you renovate without disturbing the building?

Floor-to-ceiling protection from the parkade to the unit door, scheduled deliveries, debris out in sealed bins, and a clean corridor at the end of every day. It is the same standard we bring to occupied homes, applied to a building full of them.

How long does a condo renovation take?

This unit ran through a single summer, from walkthrough to handover. Once we see your unit and your building's rules, we commit to a written schedule around the board's requirements.

FAQ

Do I need my condo board's approval to renovate?

Usually, yes. A condo renovation comes with the building's rules: board approval, elevator bookings and working-hour limits. We handle that coordination as part of the project.

How do you protect the building during the work?

Floor-to-ceiling protection from the parkade to the unit door, scheduled deliveries, debris out in sealed bins, and a clean corridor at the end of every day.
