Backyard, Demo, Deck, Fence, Garage

I had a large project which included demo of an old deck/carport and about 760 sq. ft. of concrete. Once complete, a new deck, fence and garage was built. Alta homes helped me through the decision process and what made the most sense for my space. All work was completed accordingly, and any issues or concerns were addressed. Im very happy with my new deck/fence/garage and would recommend Alta homes for any upcoming projects.

Garage Building

After searching for a reliable garage builder in Calgary, we decided to go with Alta Home, who coincidentally just completed a garage adjacent our home. Their pricing was slightly higher than other quotes we got but we were prepared to trade a little extra buck for a project that delivers peace of mind in the long run. I must say that we were really impressed with the entire process from start to finish, and more so how professional they are. Special shout out to Stan and Ross, really great team and they kept to all the agreed terms of the contract. We are looking to develop our basement soon and will definitely be reaching out to them again.

Basement Legal Suite Not to Regret

Choosing Alta Home to develop our legal suite basement was not a straight forward decision but certaily one that we don't regret. They might not fit for every budget but there's a good reason for it, Their value is in the mastery of their craft and the solid assurance of quality. With Alta Home, it's clear you're not just another project. They dive deep into the codes, ensuring everything's not just right but perfect.

Their team stands out for their straight talk and genuine care for your vision. They guided us through the maze of regulations with ease, making sure our investment was sound, secure, and stunning. The outcome is a space that feels more like a place you want to live in rather than just another rental basement suite.

Working with Alta Home right of the start means investing in peace of mind. They deliver a blend of quality, compliance & code profecciency, and beauty thats hard to come by. For anyone on the fence, consider this: with Alta Home, every penny spent feels like a strong step towards something special & durable!

Detached Garage

Built a fantastic garage dealing with the various issues of an old property. Some early miscommunications that were more than made up for with professional work.

New Garage for Combining Family

Working with Alta Home Garages & More was fantastic they started working off of my hand drawn sketches, made several site visits, had excellent insights on site prep to become compliant with the City prior to even getting started (old home so some underground services needed to be updated) and once construction started they met their estimated timelines almost perfectly (had a few nasty weather days which made it unsafe for outdoor work to continue). If I ever need a garage again they will be first on the call list.

What a great way to start the morning, reading this fantastic review!

Your project was unique, and it's rewarding to hear we could bring your hand-drawn sketches to life. Navigating city compliance and updating underground services can be complex, but it's all part of ensuring you get the top-notch garage you deserve.

We're grateful for your understanding about the weather delays. Communication and mutual understanding are our first priorities, so it's uplifting to hear that your experience reflected this.

Having us at the top of your call list for future projects is the highest compliment we could receive. Thank you!

Looking forward to the opportunity to work with you again!

New Lane Garage & Basement Finishing

I recently decided to take the plunge and finally get my garage built and basement developed, and let me tell you, Alta Home did not disappoint. From the moment I met with Derrick, I felt like I was in competent hands.
Ross was my PM. & was particularly attentive in explaining the process to me, laying out all the options I could choose from to fit my budget and style. His team kept me updated at every stage of the project, which was both courteous and reassuring.
My garage went up quicker than I expected, and it's not just about speed, it's beautifully crafted, too. The crew was not only skilled but also respectful and diligent. We did have a few minor hick ups with the location of the trench but this was further explained and rectified
As for my basement, it's transformed into a comfortable and functional space that I'm more than happy with. It's obvious that the same care and skill went into this project as with the garage. We did have a couple of minor issues with paint touch-ups and trim work, but Ross was all over it. They sorted it out right away and ensured everything looked perfect.
I'll admit, I was a bit anxious about undertaking these projects. I'm new to the world of home renovations as we just moved in to our new home, and there's so much that can go wrong and the horrific things you hear about contractors. But my experience with Alta Home has been nothing short of reassuring. I've been involved and informed throughout the entire process, and the finished products Both garage and my newly developed basement are beyond what I had hoped for..
All in all, I couldn't be happier and I'm looking forward to what we'll build next. Highly recommend Alta Home for any of your garage or basement finishing needs!

Communication and clarity are our top priorities, so we're glad to hear you felt involved and informed every step of the way.

Your trust means the world to us, Thank you for the high recommendation, Gloria! We're looking forward to what we'll build next!

New garage build

Called Alta home this year to have a garage build at my new home. They were quick on the initial response and had Boris come out for an estimate within a couple of days. Boris was fantastic, explained the full process, gave me a number of options based on my budget, matching the house, and overall timeline.

Once construction started - it went quick, the framing, siding and roofing were done real fast and quality was evident. The guys who came out were always really polite and hard working.

We even had an issue where some of the electrical was taken after work was done and Boris called me right away and said no worries, we'll come back and get that done and make sure the garage was secure to avoid any future issues.

As a new home owner, i felt in great hands with Boris and the team here.. communication was fast, work was fast and again the quality is great. I love the new garage and looking forward to working with them again when I finish my basement.

Thanks team!

Wow, Etahn, what a review! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Boris and the team are thrilled you're loving the new garage.

Sorry about that electrical hiccup; appreciate your understanding. Quick fixes are very important for us to run things smooth, so it was no sweat getting things back on track for you.

Can't wait to dive into that basement project with you. Until then, enjoy your garage!

Cheers,

New garage

I decided in February to hire this company and with a deposit was given a start and estimated completion date.
To my surprise they didnt even start the job until weeks after the completion date.
It started horribly, Boris the main contractor on the job simply hands the work over to companies without fully outlining the details or following up to assure they are done correctly.
I arrived home to find the garage cement pad was poured in correctly and failed to meet city codes.
I had to contact the contractor to inform him it was done improperly.
They made a mess of the pad by incorrectly covering it with poly leaving ugly lines all over the pad.
Next I happened to open my web cams to see the framer placing the window in the wrong place.
His answer was he tried but never can get a answer on the phone from the contractor.
A few days later Boris sends the electrician to my house on a Friday night at 10 pm to start wiring without a legal permit.
When the electrician left he tried to take my breakers from my house panel to I assume resuse in another job as he put used breakers in mine.
The garage has failed final inspection at this point because now i have to install fireproof drywall at my cost because the company placed the pad improperly.
The man door is another horrible job with nails.
Now im billed without even a final walkthrough inspection to discuss issues.
Would i recommend this company?
Absolutely not.

Hi Keith,

Firstly, we're really sorry to hear you're disappointed with your experience. We do our best to deliver a service that we can be proud of

I'd like to clarify a few points you've brought up:

We give estimates rather than fixed dates, especially for early-season projects that are 100+ km from the City of Edmonton limits. Unpredictable factors like a prolonged winter can delay the start date. We communicated this beforehand.

The setback change was an error on the Town of Wetaskiwin's part, and we've been working to resolve this. We also applied for a variance, absorbing the cost ourselves. Any errors on our side were fixed without delays.

Electrical work was done with a permit. While it's hard to believe our longtime electrician would make such an oversight, we promptly replaced the breakers to ensure your satisfaction.

Quality & Inspection: You moved items into the garage before the project was completed, which could contribute to some of the damage you cited. This is against our liability and company policy, as it compromises both quality control and safety. We still fixed all the aforementioned issues and our final walkthrough report that was signed off by you didn't show these issues.

Fire-rated Wall: This was another late-stage requirement from the town of Wetaskiwin, not an oversight on our part. We're adapting to it as quickly as we can.

We've endeavoured to go above and beyond to resolve these issues, even providing additional services like the concrete apron at no extra cost to you. We get it, though. The end result was not what you had hoped for, and for that, we are sorry.
