Frequently asked questions
How long does a Okotoks kitchen remodel take?
Typical timeline: 6–10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Permit-heavy jobs in Okotoks add 2–3 weeks.
Do I need a permit in Calgary Region County?
Yes - any plumbing, gas, or electrical change triggers a Calgary Region County permit. Cosmetic refreshes (paint + cabinet fronts) are usually exempt.
Can I live in my house during the remodel?
Most Okotoks homeowners do. We'll set up a temp kitchen and seal off the work zone with plastic + air scrubbers.
What's included in the quote?
Demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, paint, cabinets, counters, backsplash, appliances install, permits, and cleanup.
Cabinets vs. refacing - which is right for me?
Refacing saves 40–60% if your boxes are solid. Full custom makes sense if you're changing the layout. Your matched pros will walk you through both.
Does Alberta require a contractor licence for Calgary Metro work?
Alberta does not issue a provincial general contractor licence; trades (electrical, plumbing, gas, HVAC) must hold a provincial licence under the Safety Codes Act. Municipalities may require a business licence. Every Calgary Metro pro we match has the right trade licence and municipal registration.
