START WITH HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE

What would you do
with a whole extra floor?

Explore three ways to make downstairs part of everyday life. Choose an idea, then take a closer look at the details.

Movie nights. Game days. Everyday life.

A comfortable place to come together, with enough space for everyone to do their own thing. A family room that works just as well on a quiet Tuesday as it does on game day.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Have a question about your basement or another project?

Let’s talk it through
Do you coordinate licensed trades for the whole job?

Yes. DHI brings together licensed plumbers, licensed electricians, qualified heating and ventilation specialists, and our renovation crew. We coordinate the work from the first layout to the final finishes, with one point of contact for your project.

Can you renovate an already finished basement?

Yes. We work on both unfinished basements and existing spaces that need a new layout or fresh finishes. Tell us what is not working for you now, and we can discuss the possibilities.

Can I finance my renovation?

Financing is available through Financeit, subject to approval. Start with a project estimate, then ask us about payment options. The provider confirms your rate, terms, and eligibility before you decide.

What is included in a basement estimate?

We discuss the layout, intended use, materials, finishing, and work needed for your space. Your written estimate sets out the proposed scope. Requirements such as permits and specialist trades are reviewed for your project.

What areas do you serve?

We work with homeowners in Calgary and surrounding communities, including Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, and Chestermere. Contact us to check availability for your address.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. Your initial consultation and project estimate are free, with no obligation to move forward. We will discuss your goals and explain the proposed work so you can decide with confidence.

How long will my project take?

Timing depends on the size of the project, material availability, and weather. We will discuss the expected schedule with your estimate and keep you informed if anything changes.
