What We Do
Renovation services for Cochrane homes
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages and whole-home renovations, each one designed, priced by scope and managed by FLEX from the first conversation to the final walk-through.
Kitchens
Kitchen renovations
Custom kitchen renovations focused on layout, functionality, finishes, and installation.
The kitchen is the most trade-heavy room in the house. Cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, electrical, tile, flooring, lighting and appliances all have to land in the right order. FLEX plans the sequence, manages the purchasing and keeps the schedule moving so your kitchen is out of commission for as little time as possible.
- Layout and workflow planning
- Custom and semi-custom cabinetry, countertops and backsplash
- Plumbing, electrical and lighting coordination
- Appliance selection, delivery timing and installation
Bathrooms
Bathroom renovations
Complete bathroom renovations including demolition, plumbing, electrical coordination, tile, cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes.
From powder rooms to full ensuites, bathrooms pack more trades into fewer square feet than any other space. Waterproofing, tile layout, plumbing rough-in and ventilation have to be right the first time. FLEX manages every phase and checks the details that get hidden behind the finishes.
- Ensuites, main bathrooms, powder rooms and basement bathrooms
- Walk-in showers, soaker tubs, custom glass and niches
- Tile, waterproofing, heated floors and ventilation
- Vanities, countertops, fixtures, lighting and accessories
Basements
Basement renovations and development
Finished basements, entertainment spaces, bathrooms, offices, bedrooms, and custom spaces.
An unfinished basement is the biggest opportunity in most Cochrane homes. Whether it is a family rec room, a home office, a guest suite with its own bathroom and kitchenette, or a full secondary suite, FLEX handles the permits, framing, mechanical rough-ins and finishing as one coordinated project.
- Rec rooms, media rooms, home gyms and offices
- Bedrooms with egress windows, bathrooms and laundry
- Wet bars, kitchenettes and secondary suites
- Permits, inspections, insulation, framing, drywall and finishing
Whole-Home
Whole-home renovations
Coordinated renovations involving multiple rooms, trades, and construction phases.
Multi-room projects live or die on sequencing. Flooring cannot go in before the kitchen is done, painters cannot start before trim, and every trade has to work around the ones before and after it. FLEX builds the master schedule, phases the work so you can keep living in the home where possible, and keeps every trade accountable to the plan.
- Main-floor and multi-room renovations
- Flooring, paint, doors, trim and lighting throughout
- Phased construction plans that keep the home livable
- One schedule, one budget, one point of contact
What a finished garage includes
- Insulation and vapour barrier for walls and ceiling, rated for Alberta winters
- Heating: overhead unit heater or in-floor, with the gas and electrical to support it
- Drywall, paint and lighting that turn a shell into a room
- Electrical for tools, an EV charger, a compressor or a welder
- Floor coatings such as epoxy or polyaspartic
- Organization systems: slatwall, cabinets, workbenches and overhead storage
Garages
Garage finishing
A finished, heated space for projects, hobbies and storage, complete with organization solutions.
Most garages in Cochrane are bare studs and a concrete slab, which means they are too cold to use for half the year. FLEX turns the garage into a usable room: insulated, heated, lit, wired for whatever you work on, and organized so everything has a place. Whether it is a workshop, a gym, a home for the toys or just a garage that finally holds the cars and the gear, we plan it and manage it like any other renovation.
Design & 3D Renderings
See it before you buy it
3D design mock-ups that let you walk through your space, test layouts and compare finishes before a single cabinet, tile or fixture is purchased.
Renovation regret usually comes from decisions made on paper. FLEX builds a 3D model of your kitchen, bathroom or basement so you can see how the layout works, how the cabinet colour reads against the counters, where the lighting falls and whether the island really fits. Changes are free in the model. They are not free once the cabinets are ordered.
- Layout options compared side by side
- Cabinetry, countertop, tile and flooring selections visualized together
- A model the trades build from, so what you saw is what gets built

Renovation Project Management
The service behind every FLEX project
Planning, scheduling, purchasing, trade coordination, quality control, and project communication.
Whether you hire FLEX for a single bathroom or a whole home, the project is run the same way: a defined scope, a budget itemized by scope so you see where every dollar goes, a sequenced schedule with a weekly lookahead every Friday, vetted trades and a single person responsible for the result. Already have a designer or a set of drawings? FLEX can manage the construction of your plan.
