Finding a perfect home that has everything to suite a buyer’s needs can be difficult. The short listed homes may still have spaces that need to be transformed to meet the criteria (i.e. ensuite, kitchen, exterior makeover). A Pinnacle Group representative can accompany the buyer and realtor to view a short listed property and provide their expertise to determine if it is the best candidate to meet the renovation needs of the purchasing client family. Pinnacle Group provides valuable feedback that allows the buyer to envision the property’s potential. Once the client makes an offer, Pinnacle provides the design renderings with applicable investment ranges and mortgage blending options to facilitate both the purchase of the home and subsequent renovation requirements.

In addition, these personalized exterior renderings can be used to show you various home styles to see stylistically what you prefer.

Here are some basement development ideas to consider incorporating:
Once we have completed the necessary due diligence to have a solid understanding of the structural considerations your Calgary basement development project, we will continue with our in-depth, proprietary Design Discovery Process. We will ask all the necessary questions to determine how you want to utilize your basement, how you want to feel when you are in this space and what basement design elements provide you and your family with inspiration. The result will be an inviting home basement that meets all the structural, functional and aesthetic requirements of your family now and in the future.
To execute all of your ideas properly you should find the best basement renovations company you can. We suggest you always look into the history of the basement builder as well as any available online reviews of their basement renos.
Customers love knowing that utilizing Pinnacle Custom Cabinets for their basement finishing means they won’t have to deal with delays in the manufacturing of their custom cabinetry or millwork. This is a common issue consumer’s experience when undertaking their Calgary basement development project, because delays in cabinetry are often what bring home renovation projects to a grinding halt; resulting in cost over-runs and missed completion dates.
For example, we will assess any construction-related deficiencies that are part of the basement’s foundation or lack thereof. This can save you significant money now and in the future and prevent a situation where your new basement development must be redone or removed due to moisture penetration from underground; creating mold and mildew damage to your property.
Pinnacle Group will check the grade surrounding your home to determine if poor outside drainage factors could cause leaks into your Calgary basement during heavy rains or snow and ice thawing conditions. Our professional, high tech equipment allows us to detect moisture behind your basement walls, as well as under your concrete flooring.
Proper ventilation for your furnace in your basement is another priority; structural choices and building materials are a direct influence on fire prevention in your basement environment.
In addition, we are fully versed on all City of Calgary building codes and policies regarding basement developments Calgary which will influence many aspects of your renovation design, including decisions regarding your ceiling height. With this understanding in mind, we can help determine the right plan to ensure both your needs and those of the City are legally met.

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:
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Whether you prefer the timeless look and feel of classic building materials or the ultra-modern ambience of the latest smart technology, working with Pinnacle Group for a luxury bathroom renovation in Calgary ensures that you have plenty of options and opportunities to truly make this part of your home your own. Through our in-house professionals, you have access to our custom cabinet and millwork divisions, giving you free rein to envision and create your perfect luxury bathroom renovation – and beautifully unique cabinetry in your own colour palette is just the start.
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.
That experience begins with the design and construction process itself. We strive to be the premier luxury bathroom renovator in Calgary, and as such, we place immense importance on the entire customer service experience – start to finish, floor to ceiling. Our in-house technicians ensure that custom woodwork, cabinets, and millwork are delivered exactly as desired and without delay, making sure that all other work proceeds as scheduled and within the stated budgets.
In short, your luxury bathroom should be a source of happiness and relaxation, not stress and anxiety. When you choose Pinnacle, we understand that ideal as well as you do.
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.
Our team of expert bathroom, master bath and ensuite renovation consultants, architects, designers, production staff, trades and suppliers work efficiently together using Pinnacle Group’s Building Planning Process guiding you through your entire Calgary bathroom reno from start to finish.

In addition, our in-depth approach includes fully understanding what your lot or property has to offer. Our architectural team will evaluate all the necessary details; assessing setbacks, percentage of lot coverage, maximum height allowances, and number of units allowed on your property for maximum ROI, should that be your goal. We have a close connection with city planners who we consult with to answer any outstanding questions we have. Using our advanced software, we can also plot your home’s longitude and latitude to determine how the positioning of your home can maximize views, sun patterns and mitigate shadow lines.

A Single-Wall or One-Wall kitchen is exactly what it sounds like! This layout is quite common in apartments and lofts and are a great way to make the most of your limited space. Single-Wall Kitchens will have all cabinetry and appliances along a single wall. If space allows, an island can help to provide additional countertop and storage space.
U-Shaped kitchens are similar to the Gallery layout described above, but will have an added counter that connects both walls creating the U-Shape sometimes forming a peninsula.
Gallery Kitchens can help make the most of your square footage, particularly in smaller spaces. In a Gallery layout, you have a longer and narrower kitchen, with a corridor running between two walls that will each feature the kitchen’s counters, storage solutions and appliances.
L-Shaped kitchens are quite popular because they offer plenty of storage and practical flow. These layouts will help you make the best use of your space, and can be further improved with the addition of a central island.
Luxury kitchen renovations are a big part of overall home redesign, and there are many options to choose from when deciding how to proceed with your own.

Customers love knowing that utilizing Pinnacle Custom Cabinets for their kitchen cabinets means they won’t have to deal with delays in the manufacturing of their project’s kitchen cabinetry or millwork. This is a common issue consumer’s experience when building their Calgary kitchen cabinets, because delays in cabinetry are often what bring a kitchen renovation contractor to a grinding halt; resulting in cost over-runs and missed completion dates.

Choosing a competent kitchen planning & renovations contractor you can trust is a priority; Pinnacle Group is fully equipped to meet all your kitchen renovations and kitchen design challenges. We are an affiliate of Renomark™, an association of like-minded home renovators that uphold high quality, integral and ethical business practices. True to our commitment to excellence and rectitude, we are the only Renomark™ Renovator to guarantee the start date, completion date and cost of your kitchen project, known as our SCC 3-Way Guarantee™.
Take advantage of Pinnacle’s free, no obligation, Kitchen Design and Build Consult.

Once again, the word ‘experience’ comes to play; with a tried-and-true process along with a signature on the contract from the Renovation owner, a guaranteed start and completion date can be achieved, even amidst current supply chain hiccups. Having a vetted group of suppliers and trades that an experienced renovation company would have in hand, is the only way to achieve these kinds of guarantees. But it must be in writing, and the company you are interviewing should have decade(s) long experience supporting their promises, along with 3rd party Reviews that confirm these start and completion dates were indeed achieved. Trust your instinct when interviewing; and did we mention; look for experience?
As the old saying goes; nothing beats experience. In the renovation world, that certainly rings true; as most anyone can rip apart walls and spaces, but how do you know what’s behind those walls to ensure surprises don’t show up leading to cost over-runs? Unlike HGTV who play on drama to heighten viewership; a seasoned and experienced renovator should rarely, if ever run into surprises; and sadly that’s what these shows don’t seem to point out; our question is what kind of professional renovator are you if there is a ‘surprise’ and what kind of due diligence was done BEFORE starting the project? if the right Building Planning Process (BPP) occurs early in the design; including bringing key professionals on site; surprises should be mitigated. Pros like engineers, applicable trades impacted by the design, thermal cameras, along with a keen understanding of bearing point loads; surprises are rare, and if so with a guaranteed cost; none of this should be passed on to you the homeowner.
Planning for a kitchen renovation should be extremely exciting, but if you aren’t working with the right renovator, it can also end up being quite a stressful process as well. You may have heard the horror stories where project start dates are promised, then missed, along with unforeseen cost over-runs. At Pinnacle Group, our SCC 3-Way Guarantee™ is a promise that we make to every client we serve. That promise is to guarantee the Start date, Completion date, and Cost of your project.
Figuring out how much you are able and willing to invest on a kitchen renovation, should start with having and in-depth conversation with an experienced design-build renovator. This conversation is to determine the scope or size of project required to accommodate your current list of needs, and the quality of the specifications of every single item installed. From there, you will be able to plan a renovation that fits within the parameters of your available funds.
Other important things to consider when creating a budget for your kitchen remodel include your home’s current market value and how a potential kitchen overhaul might affect that value. A kitchen renovation isn’t always about improving your property’s re-sale value, especially when creating an accessible kitchen to accommodate someone in the home living with, or planning ahead for, mobility challenges. However, the current and potential market value of your home should be considered when deciding between a mid-range and luxury kitchen renovation, and how much you are willing to allocate to your kitchen transformation. The budget comes down to how you view the most important and widely used room in your home; is it strictly about ROI/return on investment, or is it ROL/Return on Lifestyle? The answer is unique to each family and the importance they place on their kitchen.
A combination of a professional online presence, transparency into past projects and consistent positive feedback can make it easier for you to focus in on the renovators that you would like to work with to help design and renovate your dream kitchen. From there, you can narrow down the list of contenders and set up meetings between your top choices.
For more than 15 years, 3rd Party Review company; Client Insight has helped us interview our Pinnacle Group Client Families in an effort to learn more about their experience throughout the build process. These customers have entrusted us to complete large scale home renovations and additions, as such, we want to make sure that we have met and exceeded their expectations, or be made aware of any areas of the process that can be improved upon. These Client surveys provide the opportunity to continually improve and enhance Pinnacle’s build process, keep management informed and ensure quality and excellence.

These resources are designed to help guide you in what you should expect in all stages of your project – Before, During and After your Renovation or Custom Home Build.
Your new kitchen layout will ultimately depend on the square footage available, which is why it’s extremely important to work with a qualified renovation and design-build team, who can help you visualize your options before any construction or demolition work begins. Most 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. Naturally, the expertise and creativity of an architect or designer is required to draw up the plans; but as important is the builder working alongside the design team to ensure it meets your budget expectations.
Appliance installations include energy efficient induction or gas range (complete with ventilation system), a built-in microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal system. This kitchen would be complimented by a double-basin SILGRANITE undermount sink, a new luxury faucet, and custom under-cabinet as well as ceiling pot lighting. New Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring or Engineered Hardwood is installed, and walls, ceiling and trim in the kitchen and adjacent areas are all re-painted.
Luxury kitchen renovations would include features such as high-end appliances, fully-custom cabinetry with multiple accessories and custom-exotic wood species, luxury stone countertops including waterfall designs, instant hot or filtered water, 36-48inch range and vent hood, and structural work for an open concept or butler’s pantry, including removal of bearing walls and/or an addition, for a luxurious open concept.
From the examples above of mid-range and luxury kitchen renovations; it’s easy to see how most of our client-families opt for a hybrid version of both specifications; we simply refer to as The PINNACLE Spec and is what you see throughout our website galleries!

When choosing kitchen counter tops, it isn’t difficult to get confused by the number of different options that are available to you. In 2023, stone products such as quartz, quartzite, glass and granite are some of the choices for homeowners renovating their kitchens. Unlike granite, which is a natural stone, quartz is a man-made product and therefore tends and easier to maintain, whereas the natural movement in granite is what attracts others to that choice. Durability and maintenance aside, quartz, quartzite, glass and granite countertops can come in an endless assortment of colors and styles.
In 2024, colourful kitchen cabinetry has continued to emerge as an increasingly popular design trend. Homeowners are showing off their personality and adventurous sides this year by selecting bold navy blues or forest greens for their two tone kitchen cabinetry and island.
In a busy area of your home, like your kitchen, selecting the right flooring that will hold up to the foot traffic, spills, and drops is extremely important. There are many hard flooring products to choose from that come in a wide range of colours, styles and textures. Luxury Vinyl Plank, Tile-Plank in hardwood look, small or large format Tile, and Hardwood; all have their pros and cons depending on your personal needs and taste, as well as perceived quality and actual durability. For the reasons cited; it’s so important to work with seasoned professionals who know the pros and cons of each product, and aren’t tied to a specific product line; thus, allowing complete objectivity.
We continually communicate with each other – and with you – throughout both the Design and Build process. Regular check-ins and status updates along with our Builder Trend customer portal gives you peace of mind, and confidence throughout the renovation or build journey.
