Ready to Start Your Project?
Turning your home’s unused space—whether it’s a basement, two-story garage, or empty wing—into a legal secondary suite is one of the most strategic upgrades you can make to your home.
However, it’s also one of the most regulated—and one of the easiest to get wrong without the right experience. What should be a surefire way to add value to your home can easily become a costly mistake without local experts to help.
At Peak Improvements, we design and build legal secondary suites in Edmonton that meet all city requirements while still feeling comfortable, modern, and livable—adding value to your home and appeal to your tenants.
Building a legal suite isn’t as simple as finishing a basement or adding a few extra doors in a section of your home. Most Edmonton homeowners looking to generate rental income are unaware of the strict requirements around legal suite safety, layout, and construction—and those requirements exist for a reason.
We’ve seen homeowners run into serious issues when projects weren’t done to code. Delays, failed inspections, and costly rework are all common when compliance isn’t handled properly from the beginning by professionals. That’s why legal or secondary suites require a team that understands both construction and regulation.
Our team is up to date on codes, permit applications, and other fine details, so you don’t have to be. Partner with Peak to build your home’s legal suite without sacrificing comfort for compliance.
For many homeowners, the most intimidating part of building a legal suite isn’t the construction—it’s the process. Permits, inspections, building codes, accessibility or privacy considerations… it can be a lot to manage.
When you partner with Peak Improvements, however, we take all that stress and additional work off your plate.
From initial planning through to final approval, we guide our secondary suite project to keep everything aligned with Edmonton’s construction and rental requirements. You’ll understand what’s needed, why it matters, and how we’re handling it throughout the entire secondary suite renovation process.
Let us worry about the details, while you start interviewing potential renters!
Peak Improvement’s one-of-a-kind, fixed price contract is the final step before construction begins. Once you have selected and confirmed all design elements, the build team, led by our construction manager, starts its investigations. They will seek to uncover any potential challenges that could cause problems completing everything as planned. Finally, securing competitive bids from our trusted trade partners to get the best possible value for you, our customer.
Peak Improvements will develop and present a fixed-price contract that is guaranteed to stay the same throughout the entirety of your project. The contract also includes defined start and finish dates for your build, making it easy to move forward with confidence. We believe in starting each project with transparency, and commit to abiding by the prices and deadlines we set, no exceptions!
Unlike other renovation projects, a home addition isn’t just about updating what’s already there—it’s about expanding your home in a way that makes sense, which creates unique and varying levels of complexity.
The new space needs to connect seamlessly with the old. The structure has to be sound. The design needs to match. And everything—from permits to construction—needs to be handled carefully. When any of these elements are overlooked, the result can feel disconnected or poorly executed.
That’s why experience matters. At Peak Improvements, we take a thoughtful approach to designing additions that match your home’s existing architecture, layout, and flow. That includes everything from rooflines and exterior finishes to how the new space connects internally.
Whether you’re adding a larger kitchen, an extra bedroom, or a full second-storey expansion, the goal is always the same: create a space that feels natural, not added on.

Our renovation process includes consultation, design planning, budgeting, permits, construction, inspections, and final walkthrough. Each phase is professionally managed to keep your renovation on schedule and aligned with Edmonton building requirements.
Timelines vary by project scope. Bathroom renovations often take 3–5 weeks, kitchen renovations 6–10 weeks, and full home renovations several months. We provide realistic timelines before construction begins.
Yes. We manage all required permits and coordinate inspections with the City of Edmonton, ensuring your renovation complies with local building codes and safety standards.
Yes. Every renovation project is assigned a dedicated project manager who oversees scheduling, quality control, and communication throughout the build.
In many cases, yes. For larger or whole-home renovations, temporary relocation may be recommended. We discuss livability expectations early so you can plan accordingly.
Any changes are documented through a clear change-order process that outlines cost and timeline impacts before work proceeds.
A legal suite isn’t just about compliance—it’s about livability. If the finished space feels cramped, dark, or poorly designed, it will be harder to attract tenants and rent long-term.
With Edmonton’s ongoing housing shortage and projected population growth, legal secondary suites are a valuable asset for local homeowners and renters alike.
That’s why we design suites that feel like real homes, with thoughtful layouts, good lighting, and features that tenants actually value. Our goal is to create a space that people want to live in—not just one that checks the required boxes.

“We’re really happy with how the ceiling project turns out. I’d like to pass along that my father – an engineer with terribly high standards – had nothing but positive things to say about Wes and his work.”
“All areas. Primarily because of the staff. Each person I dealt with was professional and seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. They made the whole process a pleasant one. Wes who managed the project on site. He kept things moving along running smoothly.Braden who took such care and pride in his work. All the trades that were brought in were professional and pleasant to work with, especially Terrance who did the tile work. Kari who worked on the design. It was great fun to work with her. Chris who checked in regularly and Rick who started the process. Once our project started it went like clockwork day to day and it was not the major headache we had anticipated in living in a renovation site. Communication was excellent once we got going and we really appreciated that. The entire crew was very respectful of our home and our family.”
“The workers and people coming to my house were professional and respectful. My children and I felt comfortable and at ease with the people in our home. They were great at keeping us informed in a layman-friendly way.”
“I was particularly impressed by the communication process. I always knew what was going on. They were also exceptionally tidy!”

If you’re considering adding a legal basement suite in Edmonton, the best place to start is with a clear understanding of what’s involved.
These projects can create consistent income and increase your home’s overall value- but those benefits depend entirely on the project being done properly.
When built to code, designed well, and constructed with care, a suite becomes a long-term asset. Without that foundation, it can quickly become a source of stress.
