A basement development in Calgary requires a permit from the city of Calgary. The approval process tends to take around 30 days but can take up to 90 days for larger projects. Once we have the permit, basement developments typically take around 8-12 weeks, although this is no guarantee since each project varies in size and complexity.
When it comes to basement development, one of the biggest concerns for homeowners is how messy the process will be. While it’s true that any construction project will generate some dust and debris, there are steps that can be taken to minimize the mess. At Econo Basements, we take great care to protect your home during the process. We use plastic barriers to contain the dust and dirt, and we use specialized equipment to control the spread of airborne particles. Additionally, our team is trained to clean up after themselves each day, leaving your home as tidy as possible throughout the development process.
Jelina O3 June 2023Worst company to work with. Avoid them.Bhaskar Deb24 January 2023Econo Basement recently completed my secondary suit basement. Their workmanship & their intent to do a good job is Amazing ! The staff is very well behaved , courteous and easy to deal with . The same is true for their sub - vendors as well . I would be happy to recommend them ....Michael Denis19 December 2019It took 3 different companies to get our basement finished, thank you Econo for stepping up! They were on time and actually knew what they were doing. They fixed all the work from the previous company ( dont get me started) and the final results were my amazing basement ! Thank you Jordan and Econo Basements for all your hard work, well recommend to anyone !Brenda Gibson28 October 2019An amazing experience working with Econo. The attention to detail and the customer service was the best. They came to our rescue after a previous job went south. The design team and the help that we got choosing colours, styles, product was awesome. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a home renovation project. The timeliness of the job was amazing. They listened to our ideas and made them reality. Kim and her team of professionals are extremely talented!Tim Koester13 June 2019Everything was going well, very friendly getting information for the quote. I set up a second meeting to review the quote, and asked to have it emailed to me to review myself before the meeting. They refused to do so, so I cancelled the second appointment. I understand wanting to present a quote in person, however not everyone wants that kind of pressure. Very unfortunate, it does not leave a good impression... Update: The owner has reached out to me to try and make it right, up to 3 stars now for good customer service.Ian B8 January 2019I've been in the trades for close to 20 years now, and a journeyman for the last 13. I ended up using econo basement builders to finish off my basement. As a tradesman, naturally it was hard for me to allow myself to hire someone to come in, but I really just wanted to get it done quickly. Spare time is hard to come by, and as one person, a project involving so many different tasks/trades can really take a long time. Plus, a lot of the finishing work like taping and mudding, or setting tiles, I would prefer to have a pro do, rather than risk botching it up myself. I was really impressed with the fact that they actually finished the project before their promised deadline. In the trades world this almost never happens. I was expecting it to take about 30% longer than budgeted for time, and cost 30% more in the end, like most reno's tend to do. Plus, The workmanship was quite immaculate, and im happy with the way everything looks. The plumbing and electrical roughed in behind the drywall looked good as well and care was taken with it, which is important to me. Their subtrades were always happy, and positive when they showed up to work as well. I believe played a large role in their attention to the details. I would definitely recommend these guys. They're a pretty good crew. I would use them again.Elaine Dyck6 January 2019I live in Nolan Hill in the NW of Calgary and Econo Basements just finished my basement less than a month ago. Now I normally don't post reviews on the Internet but they left me no choice. Such a beautiful experience from start to finish. I wanted to congratulate the team at Econo basements for the wonderful job they did on my basement. I wanted simple and warm and they exceeded my expectations the entire way through. Happy customer right here :)Shane Dub5 January 2019This is an awesome company to deal with, I love the way they operate.trevor porter4 January 2019This company is wicked!
