Alberta homeowners are an industrious bunch. Every spring and summer, renovation projects kick into full gear across Edmonton and the rest of the province, from kitchen and bathroom overhauls to full additions, basement developments, and structural upgrades. The planning that goes into these projects is extensive, including design meetings, contractor quotes, material selections, and permit applications.
