Legal Rental Income

Turn your basement into a mortgage-helper. A standard 2-bedroom legal suite in Calgary can generate $1,600 - $2,000/month. We handle all City permitting and amnesty program compliance.

Up to $10k in Grants

Maximize your ROI by accessing the Secondary Suite Incentive Program (HAF). We guide investors through the requirements to qualify for up to $10,000 in government funding.

Built for Durability

"Tenant-proof" finishes that look great and last. We spec heavy-duty commercial-grade Vinyl Plank (LVP), quartz countertops, and moisture-resistant drywall to minimize maintenance costs.

Overview

About This Service

Maximize ROI with a Legal Secondary Suite

In Calgary's competitive rental market, a legal basement suite is one of the smartest investments a homeowner can make. Whether you need a simple "mortgage helper" or a high-end Airbnb unit, we focus on designs that maximize rental income while minimizing upfront construction costs.

The "Investor Standard" Approach

You don't always need luxury marble to attract great tenants. Our "Investor Standard" package focuses on clean, bright, and bomb-proof materials:

  • Waterproof Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring throughout
  • Durable Quartz countertops (stain/scratch resistant)
  • High-efficiency LED lighting to brighten windowless areas
  • Neutral, modern paint palettes (Whites & light Greys)

Permit & Grant Experts

We have extensive experience with the City of Calgary's Secondary Suite Registry. We guarantee our work meets all fire and safety codes, ensuring your family—and your tenants—are safe. Plus, we help you apply for the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) grant to get up to $10,000 back on your renovation.

Common Questions

Our investor-focused package typically includes a durable open-concept kitchen with shaker cabinets and quartz, luxury vinyl plank flooring (waterproof and scratch-resistant), LED pot lighting, and a functional 3-piece bathroom. We prioritize neutral "Sherwin Williams Alabaster" walls to appeal to the widest tenant market.
Legality is non-negotiable for insurance and resale. It requires a separate heating source (or quantified HRV/dampers), fire-rated drywall separation (5/8" Type X), interconnected smoke alarms, and bedroom egress windows that meet specifically sized opening requirements. We handle all drawings and inspections.
A standard 2-bedroom rental suite usually takes 10-12 weeks from framing to final cleaning, depending on permit processing speeds. We work efficiently to get your tenant moving in faster.
For rental suites, yes. We highly recommend resilient channel (bar) and Roxul Safe'n'Sound insulation in the ceiling to minimize noise transfer between the main floor and the basement tenant, keeping everyone happy.
