We ended up engaing Mike and Carrie in my parents place to redevelop the basement. Our goal was to make the basement a legal secondary suite and have the space more functional. From the onset, they were great. They both had lots of ideas and took the time to really undertstand our needs. Mike was the hands-on expert with construction. He knew what would work and what would not base on the structure. Carrie was the expert designer with awesome concepts and ideas to really make good use of the space. Both Mike and Carrie took their services to the next level by also coaching us through the secondary suite application process and doing a bunch of research and due diligence to understand the risks & issues we could face. When we were pitching the application infront of city council, Mayor Nenshi was impressed with Mike and commented he was the first person that advised city councilors, by allowing secondary suites they are directly employing qualified contactors and subcontractors to ensure work is being done to code. My parents legal secondardy suite would not have been possible without Mike and Carrie's guidance and passion. We would certainly recommend them to whomever is taking their firststeps into the Secondary Suite Market! **★★★★★ — Matt Smith, Jan. 2017** > I have worked with InSideOut on doing millwork installation and on site finish carpentry. I found them to be very good at managing the homeowner and trades together and keeping everyone on the same page during our project despite a few change orders. **★★★★★ — James Thompson, Jan. 2017** > I was floored by how easy it was to work with Inside Out. Experience and the ability to foresee problems before they came up made this project about 10x better than our last experience doing a design/upgrade. I would not use another contractor after this most recent experience. **★★★★★ — Elina Viola, Jan. 2017** > Carrie & Mike make a superb team! They are outsanding creatively and functionally. > They designed my existing sewing studio space into a Pilates studio. In spite of my available space for multi functional purposed space, they invented a "movable" space. Mike personally built movable walls. > They were such a joy to work with on all levels. **★★★★★ — Tony B, Jan. 2017** > Inside Out is a great local company providing top notch services at a great price. They worked on a commercial project and I couldn't be happier. They finished on time and even worked through the night to avoid interrupting business. Professional team who is fun to work with. We will use again. **★★★★★ — Byron Veilleux, Feb. 2016** > Insideout completed a major renovation of our two story home, including kitchen and bath areas. We were extremely pleased with the interaction we had with the staff of Insideout. They went above and beyond in terms of time and effort that went into the consultation and execution of the renovation. The detailed design plan and documentation helped to keep our builder on time and scope. We love our new home and enjoyed the interaction with Insideout ## Selected projects - [Bungalow addtion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bungalow-addtion-pj-vj~2184161) - Location: Calgary, AB - Photos: 26 - Description: New addition to a residential Bungalow.
