Getting started with your own custom Calgary, Alberta build or home renovation can be stressful for a number of reasons.
For most, it is the uncertainty that comes with not knowing where to start or what exactly to expect from the process. Unless you yourself are a contractor or real estate investor, it isn’t likely that you will go through an extensive whole home transformation more than once. If you do, usually the time spanned between projects is so substantial that there will be a number of new changes in the renovation and construction industries to learn about.
Unfortunately, HGTV and other home improvement programs on television are often highly scripted, and don’t paint a realistic picture for their audiences. For example, two of the most crucial elements to any renovation process (timeline and budget) are usually never portrayed accurately on television. Timelines appear much shorter due to the fact that an entire renovation needs to be condensed into a 30-60 minute segment, and they usually fail to mention the fact that many goods and services featured on the show have been discounted or added free through network sponsorship agreements.

4. Virtual Renovation Tour Walkthrough – Lake Bonavista 4 Level Split in Calgary gets a Makeover!
These homeowners had visited one of Pinnacle’s Reno Tours as a result of receiving a neighborhood Flyer. The current home was very dated, compartmentalized and lacked the more modern look and feel that this professional couple was attracted to. There was also a frustration with a very small ensuite and walk up vs walk-in closet space from the master bedroom. Tackling this renovation with the design ideas presented by Pinnacle, would allow this couple to live for many more years in the neighborhood they so loved; but now in a home they could absolutely adore vs tolerate!
