Kay2's award-winning Mayland Heights whole-home renovation in NE Calgary

Kay2 Contracting, NE Calgary

Home renovations in NE Calgary

Kay2's first Renovator of the Year project was a whole-home renovation in Mayland Heights. We design and build renovations, additions and custom homes across northeast Calgary.

Some of Kay2's best-known work is in northeast Calgary. NE Calgary homeowners work with the same team and process as all our clients, with in-house design at no extra charge, a fixed-price contract signed before construction starts, and one project manager from planning to handover.

In Mayland Heights, Kay2 turned a dated 1987 house into a modern family home, with three additions and an in-ground pool built beneath it after the foundation was raised. It won BILD Calgary Region Renovator of the Year for 2018, and its basement was named the Best Basement Renovation in Canada at the 2019 CHBA National Awards. In Bridgeland, Kay2 built a five-bedroom inner-city walkout with a loft, a rooftop patio and downtown views from every level.

Homes in NE Calgary are inside city limits, so building permits are issued by the City of Calgary. Kay2 plans permits, lead times and each phase of the work before construction begins.

Does Kay2 do home renovations in NE Calgary?

Yes. Kay2's Mayland Heights whole-home renovation won BILD Calgary Region Renovator of the Year for 2018, and Kay2 also built the Bridgeland custom home in northeast Calgary.

Can you add a pool or major addition to an older NE Calgary home?

Yes. In Mayland Heights, Kay2 redesigned a 1987 house and added an indoor pool, removing about 70 per cent of the existing foundation and supporting the house while the pool pit was dug, along with a wine room, theatre and wet bar in the basement.

Who issues building permits in NE Calgary?

The City of Calgary. Kay2 plans permits, lead times and each phase of the work before construction begins.

How much does a home renovation cost in NE Calgary?

Cost depends on the scope and finishes more than the neighbourhood. Kay2's renovation cost calculator and free Calgary Renovation Cost Guide give realistic ranges, and every Kay2 project is priced on a fixed-price contract before construction starts.
