Major renovations, built to the same standard.
Whole-home transformations, additions, and structural work on the homes you already love.
Renovations need the same rigour as new builds.
Most of what goes wrong in a renovation goes wrong behind the walls. We renovate older homes the way we'd renovate our own - like the work underneath has to last another 50 years.
New-build craft, applied to your existing home.
The same craftsmanship and discipline as our new builds - applied to character properties across Calgary's most coveted neighborhoods. We respect what makes the home worth keeping and rebuild what doesn't, with the same supervision and material standards we'd use on a new construction.
If a wall has been hiding a problem for decades, we want to find it before the paint goes on - not three winters later.
Everything this service covers.
Whole-home renovations
Down-to-studs transformations and gut renovations. We modernize systems, layouts, and finishes without losing what made the home worth saving.
Additions & expansions
Second-storey additions, garage suites, rear extensions. We work with the existing structure rather than against it - and engineer accordingly.
Structural & foundation work
Underpinning, load-bearing changes, foundation repair. The kind of work that needs a builder who treats engineering and detail as non-negotiable.
Heritage-sensitive modernization
Older homes carry their own constraints and character. We modernize where it matters and protect what should be preserved.
Daily site supervision
Renovations need closer oversight than new builds. Our supervisor is on site every day, catching surprises behind the walls before they become problems.
Clear timeline & budget
Itemized quotes. Change orders in writing. Weekly progress updates through the BuildXact client portal. You always know where the project stands.
Your five-step journey.
Walkthrough & assessment
We walk the home together and talk through what you want changed and what you want preserved. We flag the structural and mechanical realities upfront.
Design & engineering
Drawings, structural review, mechanical re-routing if needed. We pressure-test the plan against the bones of the existing home before pricing it.
Itemized quote
A clear, line-by-line budget. You see exactly what's included and where the contingencies live - because renovations always find one or two surprises.
Permits, demo, build
We handle the city permits, manage the demo carefully, and rebuild with the same supervision and material standards we use on new construction.
Walkthroughs & warranty
Final walkthrough, deficiency-free handover, and a builder you can still reach when a question comes up two years later.
A few we've built.
What clients say about this work.
Three years in and the house still feels new. That's the part most people don't talk about - what happens after you move in. Lexiar gets that part right.
