Planning a big home renovation in Calgary?
Don’t sign that contract alone.
Protected Renovation Support from buy better® puts a neutral expert on your side before you sign—so you reduce the risk of unfair contracts, surprise costs, and nightmare stories.
Is this for you?
You’re planning to spend $25,000 or more on a renovation in the next 3–12 months.
You already have, or are about to request, quotes from contractors.
You feel uneasy about signing a contract you don’t fully understand.
What you get
Clarity call (30–45 minutes) to review your plans, budget, and worries so you know what to ask for in quotes.
Pre‑quote checklist: what needs to be clearly written into your scope and quotes.
Review of up to 2 quotes and contracts, with risky terms and missing details flagged in plain English.
Recommended payment milestones and change‑order process so you keep control of money and decisions.
Final 30‑minute call to walk through the revised contract so you can decide to sign—or walk away—with confidence.
We don’t sell leads and we don’t get paid by contractors. Our job is to protect you.
What this is not
No on‑site inspections or code/structural assessments.
No day‑to‑day project management or chasing your contractor.
No legal representation or handling active disputes.
This support is designed for before you sign—so your renovation starts on stronger ground.
Why this is worth it
Renovations easily run into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. A single vague clause or unfair payment schedule can cost you far more than our fee in delays, extra charges, or disputes.
Lawyers can review contracts but often don’t understand construction practicalities and charge hundreds just to get started. Contractors offer ‘free’ advice, but they’re selling their own services.
buy better® sits only on your side, translating industry practices into plain English and helping you minimize expensive mistakes.
