Where we cut, and what we find there
For most trades a service-area page is a formality. For this one it is the job. What decides the saw, the lintel, the excavation and the price is the wall — and the wall is decided by when the house was built.
So these 4 pages are organised by foundation era rather than by distance from a shop. Find the group your house belongs to.
Calgary
One page for the whole city, because the thing that changes the job is the era of the wall rather than which quarter of town it stands in.
Outside Calgary
Separate municipalities, each with its own authority having jurisdiction. More acreage, more sloped lots, and more walk-out work than inside the city.
Airdrie
City of Airdrie
Egress windows and legal secondary suite compliance in Airdrie. Different authority having jurisdiction, mostly modern foundations, no travel charge.
