What Calgary homeowners say

Real jobs, real neighbours.

Our roof was hail-damaged and Coast View handled the whole insurance claim. Tear-off and new shingles done in two days, yard cleaner than when they arrived.

Dana R.Tuscany, Calgary · Roof replacement

They developed our basement top to bottom, framing, the stone fireplace wall, bathroom, flooring. Same two guys every day and the quote never moved.

Mark & Steph L.Cranston, Calgary · Basement development

Stucco on the south wall was cracked and patched badly by a previous contractor. Coast View re-coated it and added brick to the base. Looks like a new house.

Questions

Answers before you call.

What does a basement development cost in Calgary?

Most full developments run $18,000 to $75,000 depending on square footage, whether you add a bathroom or wet bar, and the finish level. Your quote is fixed in writing before we start.

How long does a basement take?

A typical 800 to 1,200 sq ft development takes four to eight weeks from permit to final paint, including inspections.

Do you pull permits?

Yes. We handle the City of Calgary development and building permits, plus electrical, plumbing and HVAC permits and inspections.

Can you build a legal secondary suite?

Yes, when your lot and ceiling heights allow it. We build to the City of Calgary secondary suite requirements: egress windows, fire separation, separate entrance and ventilation.

Do you add bathrooms and wet bars?

Regularly. Rough-in plumbing, tub or tiled shower, vanity, wet bar cabinetry and fixtures are quoted as clear line items so you can choose.

Is it the same crew the whole time?

Yes. The same lead carpenter runs your basement from framing through trim, with our own drywall, tile and paint crews. No subcontractor churn.
