Renovations in Cranston & Auburn Bay, SE Calgary
UnitRevive does renovations in Cranston, Auburn Bay and nearby SE Calgary: basement development, kitchen and bathroom updates, flooring, painting and rental turnovers.
Short answer: Cranston and Auburn Bay are family communities in deep SE Calgary, built from about 2000 onward. Newer homes here mostly need basements and upgrades over builder finishes; the older Cranston streets are ready for second-round kitchens, bathrooms and flooring. Written quotes, one crew, permits handled.
Renovations in Cranston: what we see most
Cranston sits on the south bank of the Bow River valley in SE Calgary, with Fish Creek Provincial Park to the west. Building started around 2000, so the oldest homes are now past 20 years. Auburn Bay, across Deerfoot Trail to the east, is a lake community built mostly from the mid-2000s, next to Seton and the South Health Campus.
The work splits by age. In the older Cranston streets we see original kitchens and bathrooms being replaced, carpet coming out for LVP, and full repaints. In the newer parts of Cranston and most of Auburn Bay, it is basement development and first upgrades over builder-grade finishes. Both communities have plenty of rentals, so turnovers come up too.

What to know about homes in Cranston & Auburn Bay
Homes built around 2000 are reaching the age where original parts wear out together: carpet, faucets, hot water tanks, and the first layer of paint. Planning a few of those at once costs less than calling for each one separately.
If you are adding a basement suite, plan egress windows, fire separation and a separate entrance from the start, and check the City of Calgary's current secondary suite rules for your lot.
Calgary building, electrical, plumbing and gas permits come from the City of Calgary. We flag what needs a permit when we scope the job, and licensed trades pull them.
