Calgary · General contracting & renovation
Calgary contractor websites built for PCBL, RenoMark, and CEIP-financed retrofits.
We audited 8 of the top-ranking Calgary general-contractor and renovation websites. Zero disclose Alberta's Prepaid Contracting Business License, required under the Consumer Protection Act for any contract taking deposits. Zero surface CEIP or Greener Homes financing for retrofit-heavy renovations. One mentions building permits. We build the inverse: PCBL in the footer, WCB and insurance surfaced, RenoMark schema-wired, and a CEIP calculator that transforms the math on $40k retrofit lines.

Methodology and per-site detail in our Calgary Contractor Local Pack Audit (2026).
What we put on every Calgary contractor site.
Prepaid Contracting Business License disclosure
PCBL number in the footer. Required under Alberta's Consumer Protection Act for any reno contract taking deposits. Zero of the 8 sites we audited disclose it.
WCB-Alberta clearance & insurance
Active WCB clearance letter and liability coverage surfaced. Protects homeowners from joint-and-several liability for on-site injuries.
RenoMark designation with schema
CHBA Calgary's RenoMark badge wired into JSON-LD as an awarded credential, not a static image. Strongest third-party trust signal in the category.
CEIP & Greener Homes retrofit calculator
For envelope, window, heat-pump, and solar lines tied into a larger reno: the City of Calgary CEIP repayment, Greener Homes Loan stack, and net out-of-pocket math.
RMS-aware addition & infill content
Where a renovation changes habitable area, we explain the Residential Measurement Standard and how the contractor documents the new RMS for resale.
Permit-pulling page & lead intake
Plain-language page on when a City of Calgary permit is required and that we pull it. Quote intake routes into Buildertrend, JobTread, or CompanyCam by webhook.
The PCBL is the easiest credibility win in Calgary reno.
Under the Prepaid Contracting Business Licensing Regulation (Alta Reg 185/1999), any residential contractor taking a deposit before completion must hold a Service Alberta Prepaid Contracting Business License. The license is cheap, the application is routine, and the number belongs in the footer of every reno site in the province. Yet not one of the 8 top-ranking Calgary reno sites we audited displays it.
For a homeowner about to write a $30,000 deposit cheque on a kitchen-and-second-storey project, the PCBL number is the difference between "regulated business with consumer remedies" and "trust me." We surface it, link to the Service Alberta verification page, and pair it with WCB clearance and liability insurance details on a single 'Our coverage' page.
CEIP changes the math on retrofit-heavy renovations.
Calgary infills, bungalow rebuilds, and second-storey additions increasingly bundle envelope upgrades, triple-pane windows, cold-climate heat pumps, and rooftop solar. The City of Calgary's Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) is PACE-style financing, repaid via property tax, transferring with the home, that stacks with the Canada Greener Homes Loan and Enmax rebates. On a $60,000 retrofit-component package within a larger reno, this isn't a footnote: it's the deciding factor on whether the homeowner does the envelope work now or later.
We build a calculator and an explanation page. The competitor field is empty: 0 of 8 Calgary reno sites mention CEIP at all.
Pricing
Engagement-based. Most Calgary contractor builds land between $5k and $12k depending on project-gallery depth, CRM/PM integration (Buildertrend, JobTread, CompanyCam), CEIP calculator complexity, and number of service-line pages.
