What to know about garage renovations in Calgary
In Calgary the garage is how most families come and go for half the year. Insulation and heat turn it from a cold storage space into a comfortable, usable room for vehicles, hobbies or a workshop.
New detached garages and major garage renovations in Calgary need City of Calgary permits. Kay2 prepares the drawings, manages the permits and builds everything from the slab and framing to heat, lighting, storage and new overhead doors.

How your project runs
We come to your home
We walk through the house with you and talk about how you want to live in it, what has to be included and what you would like to change. The first visit is free.
Your scope and budget
An estimator turns your wish list into a written scope and a budget, explains where the money goes and talks through financing if you need it.
Drawings and finishes
Our designers draw the plans, and you choose your cabinets, stone, tile and lighting with them at the Showroom. Permits and material orders are lined up before any work starts.
Building it
The crew builds to the drawings on a site that is protected and cleaned regularly. A project manager and a project coordinator stay with you, and if we find a surprise behind a wall, we show you and get a change order signed before we do the work.
Handing it over
At the end we walk through the house with you, finish the inspections and only sign off when you are happy with it. Your 5-year limited warranty starts from there.
Investment
Every Kay2 project is priced to its scope. After design you receive a detailed, fixed-price proposal.
Timeline
Your schedule is set before construction begins, including permits and material lead times, and your project manager and coordinator keep you up to date throughout.
Warranty and protection
Kay2 work comes with a 5-year limited warranty. Kay2 is bonded and carries $5 million in liability insurance, and under Alberta's prepaid contractor rules you can cancel within 10 days of receiving your copy of the signed contract.

Can you build a new detached garage in Calgary?
Yes. Kay2 designs and builds detached garages, including the permit drawings and applications. One of our clients described their SE Calgary garage build as "easy and straightforward from start to finish."
What is garage development?
Garage development means building a new garage, usually a detached garage in the back of the lot, or developing an existing garage into finished, heated space. Kay2 handles both, from design and permits to the slab, framing, roof, electrical and finishes.
Do I need a permit to build a garage in Calgary?
New garages generally need a City of Calgary building permit, plus electrical permits for new circuits. Kay2 prepares the drawings and takes care of the permits and inspections.
How much does a garage with a suite above cost in Calgary?
An attached garage with a finished living space above typically runs $250,000 to $420,000 in 2026, depending on size, finishes and site conditions. A standalone garage costs less, and you receive a fixed-price proposal after design.
Can you add heat and EV charging to my garage?
Yes. Insulation, heating and electrical upgrades for EV charging are common parts of a garage renovation.
What garage floor finishes do you offer?
Epoxy coatings and polished concrete are popular for durability and easy cleaning. We'll recommend options based on how you use the space.
