CUSTOM RENOS

Read More

What differentiates one bathroom from another? It all comes down to the personality and unique style. In Calgary, custom bathrooms are a wonderful and charming way to add your own individual twist onto the character of your home.

Making a custom bathroom is about more than changing some colours and cabinetry. It’s about stepping back and coming into the room with a fresh set of eyes – to see past what it was and imagine what the layout could be. Break free of what you “should” do and think of what you “could” do if given the chance. Whether this turns out to be a classic and elegant finish that you adore or a completely overhauled smart design with automatic faucets and smart thermostats is less important than it being what you want.

As experienced custom bathroom contractors, we are also able to provide advice and guidance to bring your vision of a bathroom remodel to life. With the expertise of our in-house designers, we can answer questions about custom cabinets and millwork for your bathroom renovation and identify any possible problems before they become major concerns. These same designers, working within our organization, ensure that the work proceeds on time and on budget as well. Our business model is built on the total satisfaction of each customer, so we are committed to your happiness from our very first meeting, regardless of whether the work involves a relatively quick swap of fixtures or a complete custom bathroom renovation for all family members, including those living with a disability. While the details change for every project, our dedication never does – so when you need an outstanding custom bathroom company in Calgary, you can find us proudly standing by all of the work we have already done.

Picture yourself getting home after a long trip, the weight of the day heavy on your shoulders. Imagine walking over to your custom-built bathroom, perfect down to the smallest details; the layout of the tiles, the placement of the countertops, the gentle comfort of the in-floor heating. Imagine how relaxed you would be in an atmosphere of your own making, filled with the amenities suited to your own specific style – perhaps that entails your own sauna at the perfect temperature, or a warm and inviting stand-up shower. After all, “designing a luxury bathroom” means something different to everyone, but at Pinnacle, it means delivering an incredible end experience that allows you to truly rest, relax, and rejuvenate every single day.

Bathroom Design & Remodelling FAQs

What are the latest Trends in Calgary Bathroom Renovation Designs?

Powder rooms and ensuites are typically the highest on the wish list for many looking to Renovate.

We have seen a real trend towards consumers wanting to make a statement with their main floor powder room, incorporating an array of impressive design materials to create an elegant space for guests.

Read More

Ensuites continue to be spa-inspired with the intent to create luxurious, tranquil spaces that encourage relaxation and revitalization. We have seen a definite tendency towards large walk-in showers in ensuites, sometimes at the expense of a soaker tub. These choices are always customer driven but it is particularly common when there is a limited amount of floor space available and a tub is already accessible in another main level bathroom. Some consumers would rather forfeit the footprint of the tub and have a larger shower if minimal impact on the existing floor plan is a concern. Other considerations in Calgary bathroom renovations include enclosing the toilet area; this is now an expectation in estate home design.

Creating a serene mood in bathrooms is vitally influenced by the lighting choices, making indirect lighting, pendant lighting and chandeliers popular as well as capitalizing on the natural light available. Light infiltration can be achieved through large windows and skylights as well as by enclosing the toilet area with opaque glass or 10 mil tempered glass.

Bringing the outside in by infusing organic substances like wood, stone and metal into the bathroom design is prevalent and authenticates the Zen-like feel many are trying to achieve in their bathroom spaces; from river rock walls, polished limestone floors to bamboo laminate countertops and cast-concrete sinks that have the look and feel of carved stone; nature inspired design materials definitely abound.

When it comes to flooring, hand scraped wide planked hardwood in powder rooms where there is no shower is trending, along with antique distressed tile that actually looks like hardwood but can sustain moisture in ensuites.

Semi-submerged vessel sinks with high neck faucets continue their appeal along with the new found popularity of wall mounted toilets and bidets.

In addition, an aging population is prompting consideration of accessible features such as grab bars and the integration of curbless and level-access showers in bathroom designs. It is important to discuss with your Calgary bathroom renovations team not only your present needs but also your future needs so the design can integrate potential lifestyle changes with minimal future Renovation requirements when the time arises.

At the end of the day, your bathroom should be a reflection of you and your family’s present and future lifestyle requirements, integrating a design style that is authentic to your family. Ultimately your satisfaction with your end project will be greatly influenced by the time invested by your Renovator at the onset; ensure they have a significant Design Discovery Process in place that involves the entire team including architect, production staff, interior designer and all trades involved.

Long Term we would like to Renovate several rooms in our home but we want to start with our ensuite; are there any considerations with this approach?

Calgary Bathroom Renovations are often part of a larger scale whole home Renovation; sometimes Clients prefer to Renovate in stages, starting with their highest priority single room Renovation like a bathroom or kitchen. As well, we often have Clients meet with us to discuss a specific room Renovation only to ascertain they actually want to continue Renovating several other rooms.

It is of outmost importance that your Builder has a substantial Design Discovery Process in place to help you navigate your Renovation and any future Renovation plans you might have to mitigate any redundancies or added costs.

Work top down when it comes to considerations regarding plumbing; plumbing flows from the highest point to the lowest point. Looking at the entire home evolution versus from a single room Renovation perspective can greatly impact the design choices you make that could affect future Renovation plans. The following is a real life example of the impact this can have on a Renovation.

A Client came to us to Renovate the main floor of their home. During the Pinnacle Design Discovery Process, we discussed the fact that they were considering Renovating their second storey in the future. We strongly advised them to incorporate preparations for this potential phase 2 Renovation into the plan from the onset. Even though this would have incurred some additional up front design and build costs to accomplish this, in the long run this approach was a more cost efficient solution. This would have entailed burying the necessary plumbing and electrical in the walls and ceiling for future second storey Renovations during the first phase of the main floor Renovation; this would significantly reduce their phase 2 Renovation costs. Unfortunately they did not heed our advice and went forward with their main floor Renovation without future consideration for the second storey revitalization. Three years later we have now been asked to Renovate their second storey which unfortunately requires opening up their beautifully Renovated main floor ceiling to incorporate plumbing pipes for their ensuite Renovation on the second floor; ultimately this means portions of the main floor Renovation have to be done twice with added costs and lifestyle impact. Ensure your Builder helps you evaluate not only your immediate needs but your long term goals and thoroughly weigh these considerations.

We also see limitations placed on Calgary bathroom Renovations due to the location of plumbing fixtures; don’t let this determine the best use of the space. Using the right diagnostic tools, your Builder should be able to recommend the best possible solution to achieve your goals which may include relocating fixtures; ultimately you want your Builder to determine a plan of action that requires the least amount of impact and the most cost effective solution to maximize your use of space.

What are the advantages of hiring a Design-Build Firm when it comes to bathroom Renovations?

Design-Build is a term used to describe a project delivery system in which the design and construction of a project is contracted by a single entity known as the Design-Builder. There are many advantages to this system not only for bathroom Renovations but any Renovation project or Custom Home Build. Some Design-Build firms employ professionals from both the design and construction sector which is the case with Pinnacle Group; this creates a seamless communication forum.

Read More

Naturally, the expertise and creativity of an Architect is required to draw up the plan. However, they may not be conversant in real-life construction applications; specifically as the design relates to associated costs of construction. What is designed and what occurs on the construction site can lead to a disconnect, resulting in major setbacks in project timelines and midway construction delays. Pinnacle Group actually goes one step further inviting not only the architect and production team to the initial design discovery conversation but also our interior designer and trades. Having all parties involved in the conversation from the onset allows valuable input into the final project solution, providing the Client with a synergistic solution and an achievable result. There is no stone left unturned; with this level of planning prior to the start of any Renovation project, unforseen project delays and costs are mitigated. This is why Pinnacle is the only Renomark™ Renovator to guarantee the start date, completion date and cost, known as their SCC Guarantee™.

As well, a reputable Design-Build Firm will also utilize leading edge diagnostic equipment such as a thermal camera to evaluate the build site prior to any initial tear down. The insight provided by this evaluation can greatly influence the final project specifications. For example, a thermal camera can identify the main stack location, heat run location, joist directions, and beam locations that are all buried behind the drywall. A reputable Design-Build contractor will invest in this equipment so they aren’t guessing or having to unnecessarily cut into your walls. Think of it like an MRI for your home; who would want a surgery performed on their body without first having the proper diagnosis; the surgeon has a plan and knows exactly what he or she is dealing with prior to the first cut just like a Builder who uses the right diagnostic equipment so they can plan the best execution of your Renovation requirements.

Can I Finance Bathroom Renovation?

With the fluctuating price of materials through supply and demand in the current market, as well as stock or investment fluctuations, we know that some of our clients may wish to finance their Calgary bathroom renovations instead of drawing from savings or converting stocks.

Read More

Bathroom renovations with financing are fairly common, and as part of our commitment to total customer ease of experience, we can handle much of the process on your behalf. There are some factors to consider, though – such as your total budget, focus on return-on-investment vs. return-on-lifestyle, property location, and others. We have partnered with Financeit and we offer some unique finance tools that allow you to leave your stock or savings intact.

Ultimately, the decision is yours, and it should be an informed one that uses current knowledge about how much redoing a bathroom can cost. 

Do You Offer a Bathroom Renovation Warranty?

We offer inclusive warranty on bathroom renovations in Calgary and other custom build and home improvement projects. Being a RenoMark™ Renovator, Pinnacle gives clients a minimum of two years warranty on all work (excluding minor home repair and manufacturer’s warranty) and an additional three year warranty on structural components.

Read More

Understanding a builder’s warranty offer is an essential part of the homeowner checklist for screening companies to perform renovation or custom build projects. Pinnacle Group has been providing clear answers to every warranty-related inquiry clients make, such as:

  • Does it cover the materials supplied?
  • Does it cover the labour involved in the installation?
  • Who is supplying the warranty –the contractor or the manufacturer of materials?
  • How long does the warranty last and is it transferable to new homeowners in the event of a house sale?

While a total of a five-year warranty is offered for Calgary bathroom renovations activities and other projects, Pinnacle does not provide warranty for the materials used, as these fall within the responsibility of the manufacturers. However, the five-year warranty already gives a comprehensive coverage of the actual work the company has done for the services their clients have availed. Customers should also note that the warranty, plus the ‘Client for Life’ program, is only good as long as clients retain ownership of their property for the duration of the warranty.

People with specific concerns about bathroom renovations and builder warranty should contact our team for more information to give clear answers to specific inquires. Pinnacle Group completes renovations and custom builds in Calgary and surrounding areas.

Bathroom Renovation Case Study

Bathroom Renovation Case Study

What were the criteria for this ensuite Renovation?

  • Increase the footprint of the ensuite.
  • Create a relaxing, elegant ensuite sanctuary.
  • Position the large soaker tub as the focal point.
  • Integrate a crisp, contemporary design concept.
  • Incorporate an ample makeup counter.
  • Utilize a single sink as the couple is on different work schedules and never use the bathroom at the same time so dual sinks aren’t necessary; extra counter space was preferred instead.
  • Amplify the natural light transfer.

How was the criteria met?

There was no available floor space in the existing home to accommodate an expansive ensuite, so a new floor addition was added. To successfully create the sanctuary feel, this entire space was dedicated to its own exclusive floor alongside the master bedroom. Integrating the centrally located soaker tub required a significant footprint; this was considered in the initial design development. The custom glass counter from Quebec and the stainless substrate from a local artisan supported the contemporary design concept, along with the crisp, clean organic palette. The natural light transference was achieved with the charming, sizeable window and the incorporation of the exquisite chandelier further enhances the mood of this comforting retreat.

What are the special features and innovations?

  • Custom contemporary glass counter with stainless steel substrate.
  • Oversized walk-in shower with 10 mm glass, dual shower heads, and intricate shower tile design.
  • Standalone soaker tub.
  • Heated flooring with large scale rectangular tile format.
  • Ceiling speakers with integrated whole home sound system.
