Christopher Nagy03 Sep 2026Building a garage is a big investment, and while plenty of contractors can hand over a finished project, the real test of a company’s integrity is how they handle things when an issue arises. Alta Homes proved to me without a shadow of a doubt that they are a top-tier builder who completely stands behind their product.When an issue came up regarding our original underground electrical line and it needed to be exposed so I could upgrade my service, Alta Homes didn't make excuses or dodge responsibility. They came back out, dug up the line, and exposed the cable so the upgrade could be completed seamlessly.In an industry where it can be tough to find contractors who take real accountability after a project is finished, Alta Homes demonstrated outstanding customer care, pride in their craft, and genuine honesty. They don't just build a great garage and disappear—they make sure things are right and stand by their work long after the job is done.If you are looking for a reliable garage builder who delivers quality work and actually backs up what they build, Alta Homes is who you want. I highly recommend them!read moreread less

Jason Barr01 Jul 2026After getting quotes from three highly rated garage builders we decided to go with AltaHome and have been really happy with the experience. The entire team was very professional and knowledgeable and the quality of workmanship was top notch. Special kudos to Derrick Austin (key contact through the process) and Ross Podgurskyi (project manager). In a world were shoddy work is too common, these guys standout high attention to detail and pride in what they do. Highly recommended.read moreread less

Russell McIvor28 Apr 2026ALTA HOME Garages & More, what can I say..."AMAZING SERVICE", PROMPT and PROFESSIONAL!! The first call to Derrick (Sales Manager) and it was "GAME-ON"!! Within a couple of days Derrick was at our home in Cochrane and we had our quote in place and the "PRICE" incredibly affordable compared to a few of the other garage builders, there was no comparison to any other builders that we got quotes from. 2 days following the quote and the final "YES" from Russ and Kerri and the Utility Locations were underway, ALTA Home had the Permits processed, 4 days later the materials were delivered to our property, on Monday, and the framers were framing Tuesday! I have to also mention this, I have been watching the processes of some of the building projects around where material sits in the mud soaked and warping...not our project, I even watched the frames eyeball the materials to ensure the material was "Arrow Straight", from that moment I told my wife Kerri what I had witnessed and I knew we were in good hands with ALTA Home & Garages & More. In 7 days our garage was built, framing, shingling, electrical, overhead garage door, doors and windows and ready for the inspectors... and of course the build was 100% compliant with the Town of Cochrane inspectors. Serious folks, team "ALTA Home Garages & More" hands-down the best builders I have ever dealt with! OH yea, and of course we can't forget "ROSS" our Construction Manager, Ross kept us up to date step by step...THANK YOU ROSS!!Happy Garage Owners!Kerri-Rae & Russ McIvorThank you team ALTA Home Garages & Moreread moreread less
Hussain Al-Digs16 Apr 2026I am incredibly impressed with Alata Home Garages. From day one, they have been professional, responsive, and accommodating. They stuck strictly to the project schedule—and in some cases, even delivered ahead of what was promised.What really sets them apart is their after-care. Every time I’ve reached out to Ross with a question, he has been polite and ensured any minor issues were resolved immediately. Most recently, I contacted Stan about an issue with my 240V EV outlet. He had an electrician on-site the very next day to inspect and fix it. It is rare to find a contractor this dedicated to their work even after the project is finished. Thank you, guys—I truly appreciate the hard work!read moreread less
jim ripley05 Mar 2026We had ALTA HOME Garages build a custom 24x24 garage for us and the whole project turned out really well. It wasn’t a simple build since it required a retaining wall and a development permit with height relaxation from the city so we could add a mezzanine loft. They handled the drawings and multiple engineering for the application, and it all got approved without issues.The mezzanine loft area is about 14x24 and is a useful space. One of the coolest parts is the stair system , it lifts out of the way with a pulley setup so our motorcycle can still park underneath, and then drops down when we need access. There is also a winch system to lift items up to the loft which we use a lot more than we expected.The garage is fully insulated and drywalled with an engineered foundation, and it includes a Calcana Thermo gas heater, ceiling fan, double man door, and a deck with railing.Overall, we are really happy with how it turned out. Alta Home was easy to work with and helped figure out some creative solutions to make the space work the way we wanted.read moreread less

mark landry-doran23 Jan 20265/5 for most aspects of the project, with only minor points deducted for a few unfinished items and some follow-up required near the end as the team transitioned to new projects. My mostly finished garage/man cave is beautiful, well built, and highly functional. The team was proactive in offering thoughtful suggestions on how to improve the design and, in some cases, reduce costs without compromising quality. I added a significant number of extras—including changes to the size of the building—and they were accommodating throughout the process. There are a small number of remaining interior and exterior items that still need to be completed, which I’ve been assured will be addressed in the spring. One note for future clients: be sure to include yard cleanup, rock and gravel removal from the lawn, and returning the property to grade in your project discussions. Clarifying this upfront can help avoid additional cleanup work after construction. Overall, I would absolutely recommend these guys for your next project and am very happy with the finished space. Thanks to Boris and the team.read moreread less
Samantha Tanner13 Jan 2026We had a wonderful experience working with Alta Homes on our 3 car garage. They listened to all my requests and worked with me to ensure that I got everything I wanted in the price range I needed. As soon as we finalized, Alta Homes got right to work and finished the project in a timely manner especially with winter coming!read moreread less
Jarrett Jacob01 Jan 2026Alta Homes does quality work, and the structure itself is above satisfactory. From the concrete work to the additional attic space package, the craftsmanship was excellent. The project was completed in a timely manner with no delays, and we were able to have the garage built before winter, which we appreciated. Overall, our experience with Alta Homes was good. However, communication between Alta Homes and us as homeowners needed improvement. There were times when our expectations were not fully understood, so it is important to be very clear and to have everything in writing. We did encounter some issues, including electrical work that we did not request and were initially asked to pay for. We had opted out of a garage heater during the build, but after insulating and drywalling, we experienced humidity issues and ultimately needed to install one. This situation could likely have been avoided with better communication, as we received different information from three separate representatives. Despite a few hiccups along the way, customer service was responsive and worked quickly to resolve issues in a fair manner. Summary: • Quality of work: Excellent • Timeline: Satisfactory • Communication: Needs improvement • Customer service & resolution: Excellent Would we recommend Alta Homes? Yes—but with the advice to review the purchase plan line by line to ensure everything meets your expectations.read moreread less

Genevieve Stinson18 Dec 2025Recently built a garage with Alta Home Garages & more. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. I dealt with numerous staff members over the course of my build and found each to be professional, skilled, knowledgeable in their roles, courteous and respectful. Communication was always prompt. Where needed (or asked for), I was given detailed explanation on certain aspects of the build as the process was new to me. This was an important step for me and I never felt demeaned or pressured in any way. I appreciate they invoice in instalments. They are very customer focused. Alta Home Garages is the GOAT (as my kids say)!!read moreread less
Brad M03 Dec 2025I had Alta complete my garage & deck at my home in Mahogany in 2015. Stan managed both projects. The experience was terrific.

The workmanship of his crew, under his guidance, was excellent - it has withstood the test of time extremely well.

Miles Atwood18 Sep 2025Alta Home Garages and More have been too cool. My pad was laid and full to lockup in 7 business days. Very professional and their 3 step payment process was perfect.

So impressed that I hired them on the spot. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed.read moreread less

Meity Santosa23 May 2025I’ve used Alta Home before for building my garage, deck, and a custom gazebo always a great experience. So when I had hail damage that required full exterior replacements, I went to message them again. They responded much faster than the insurance ssigned contractors and gave me a better price too. They also upgraded the shingles to Class 4 impact-resistant ones on both my house and garage. Once again, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Top-quality work and service I definitely recommend them.read moreread less
Doug Fright23 May 2025Outstanding service. These folks are very attentive to the customer's project requirements and are very thorough in producing a top notch information package in their quoting process.

Patrick Klassen01 Feb 2025I researched garage builders in Calgary thoroughly and after reviewing Google reviews, bbb and getting multiple quotes landed on Alta Homes to build my detached garage completed in Jan 2025. From dealing with Derrick in sales who worked patiently through multiple iterations and quotes to Alex and Eugene on site prep and Wes on concrete, PM Ross, Yaroslav framing, Joe on electric and owner Stan, these guys were great communicators and delivered beyond my high expectations. They provided great recommendations I did not think of along the way that substantially improved the end product. Thank you Alta Homes!read moreread less
