JFK SURFACES IN RED DEER
Red Deer is home base — we know every era of build here.
Red Deer has it all: 1950s post-war bungalows in South Hill and Parkvale, 1970s split-levels in Highland Green and Pines, 1990s two-storeys in Eastview and Sunnybrook, brand-new builds in Inglewood, Timberlands, and Garden Heights. Each era has its quirks — we’ve worked on all of them. We know which 1970s builds are hiding aluminum wiring or asbestos popcorn ceilings, which 1990s walls are load-bearing despite looking like they shouldn’t be, and which modern builds have just enough flex in the trusses to remove that wall everyone wants gone.
A full home renovation is a months-long relationship — you need a contractor who communicates, hits deadlines, and doesn’t disappear when things get hard. That’s what we’re built for.
WHAT WE BUILD
Every kind of whole-home reno Red Deer owners take on.
Full gut renovation
Strip the house to studs, redo mechanicals, reframe interior, modern finishes throughout. The boldest path — best value when the existing finishes are deeply dated.
Phased room-by-room
Renovate the kitchen this season, master bath next, basement after. Lets you keep living in the home and spread the budget. We coordinate the phasing.
Bought-as-fixer renovation
You bought below market because it needs work. We assess what's worth saving, what needs to go, and lay out a realistic scope to bring it up.
Fix-and-flip for investors
Tight turnaround timelines, finishes calibrated to the resale market, inspection coordination. We've done flips in Red Deer and across Central Alberta.
Structural open-up
Removing load-bearing walls, opening floor plans, dropping beams, expanding rooms. We bring in structural engineering and execute the framing right.
Mechanical & systems upgrade
Full re-wire of older homes, plumbing replacement, furnace + ducting upgrade, panel upgrade, water service upgrade. The unsexy work that makes the rest possible.
RED DEER SPECIFICS
What’s different about full renos in Red Deer.
Older homes hide surprises. Red Deer has a lot of 1950s-1970s housing stock. Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized supply lines, asbestos in old flooring or popcorn ceilings, undersized electrical panels — these are common. We budget for contingencies because they’re real.
City of Red Deer permit process is thorough. Permit review at the City takes time and is detailed for whole-house renos. We handle the applications, drawings, and inspector coordination so you don’t spend weeks on hold.
Resale market rewards quality. A well-executed whole-home reno in Red Deer recovers a substantial portion of cost at sale, especially in established neighborhoods. We build with resale in mind even when you’re staying.
Winter scheduling matters. Some scopes (foundation work, exterior, roofing) need warm weather. Interior gut work happens year-round. We sequence the project with seasons in mind.

How long does a full home renovation take in Red Deer?

What's a realistic budget for a full home renovation?
