Bespoke Contracting is a design build general contractor serving Sherwood Park: one accountable team, a fixed written scope, and licensed trades.
Sherwood Park is a large hamlet in Strathcona County, first laid out in 1953 as a satellite community for workers at Edmonton's Refinery Row.
Sherwood Park spans everything from 1950s and 1960s bungalows in the mature core to large modern two storeys in Emerald Hills, so renovation needs vary widely across The Park.
As a Sherwood Park general contractor working design build, we own the whole project, so the plan and the price never diverge and one team is accountable throughout.
Every home has its own history. Here is what shapes renovation work in Sherwood Park specifically.
Sherwood Park began in the mid 1950s as a planned community and was originally going to be called Campbelltown before the name changed in 1956.
Its oldest neighbourhoods, including Sherwood Heights, Glen Allan, Mills Haven, and Broadmoor, date to the 1950s and 1960s, which means a lot of aging original finishes ready for renovation.
Newer areas such as Summerwood, Emerald Hills, Lakeland Ridge, and Clarkdale Meadows carry a very different housing stock and set of renovation needs.
Sherwood Park is unusual in that it is not a city at all but a very large hamlet within Strathcona County, one of the biggest of its kind in Canada. It grew out of a mid 1950s plan to house workers at Edmonton's Refinery Row, and that origin still shapes it: a community built deliberately and quickly, in identifiable waves, rather than one that grew up slowly over centuries.
That wave pattern matters enormously for renovation. The mature core, neighbourhoods like Sherwood Heights, Glen Allan, Mills Haven, and Broadmoor, holds homes from the 1950s through the 1970s that are now well into the stage where original kitchens, bathrooms, and basements are dated and worn. These are the homes where a thoughtful renovation delivers the most, because good bones are hiding under decades old finishes.
The newer side of The Park, Summerwood, Emerald Hills, Lakeland Ridge, and Clarkdale Meadows, is a different story. Here the homes are recent, often with unfinished basements waiting to become real living space, and renovations tend toward finishing, personalizing, and adding function rather than replacing worn out systems. Understanding which Sherwood Park you are renovating in is the starting point for any sensible plan.
Finding a general contractor in Sherwood Park you can trust is the hard part of any renovation. Sherwood Park spans everything from 1950s and 1960s bungalows in the mature core to large modern two storeys in Emerald Hills, so renovation needs vary widely across The Park. We answer that with the design build model: one accountable team, a fixed written scope, and licensed trades.
Sherwood Park is a large hamlet in Strathcona County, first laid out in 1953 as a satellite community for workers at Edmonton's Refinery Row. For Sherwood Park homeowners, that means no handoff gap between design and build, honest pricing, and a warranty in writing from a local company that lives on its reputation.
Whatever the age of your Sherwood Park home, our approach is the same: understand the specific house in front of us, plan the work against a fixed written scope, and build it properly.

Renovating in Sherwood Park usually means working with one of two very different kinds of home. In the mature core, neighbourhoods like Sherwood Heights, Glen Allan, Mills Haven, and Broadmoor are full of homes from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. These have solid bones and generous lots, but they also carry the finishes, layouts, and building practices of their era, which is exactly what makes them such rewarding renovation candidates. Original kitchens and bathrooms in these homes are often long overdue for the kind of update that respects the house while bringing it fully up to date.
Out in the newer areas, Summerwood, Emerald Hills, Lakeland Ridge, and Clarkdale Meadows, the homes are modern two storeys, and the work skews toward finishing basements, adding built ins, and personalizing spaces that were built to a builder grade standard. Whichever side of The Park your home sits on, we start with the specific house rather than a template, because a 1960s bungalow and a 2015 two storey call for genuinely different approaches.
As a design build general contractor, we own the whole project. We design what we can actually build, price it honestly against a fixed written scope, sequence and manage every trade, and stay accountable from the first sketch to the final walk through. There is no handoff gap and no one to point at but us.
That means clear communication about what is happening each week, a fixed scope so cost changes only happen when scope genuinely changes with your sign off, licensed trades we trust, and a warranty in writing. It is renovation the way it should feel: calm, honest, and under control.
We walk your project, understand your goals and budget, and define what you actually want to accomplish.
We design the work and price it against a fixed written scope, so you approve a real number tied to a real plan.
We sequence and manage every trade, order materials ahead, and keep the schedule and the site under control.
We finish, walk the project with you, and back the workmanship in writing.
Sequencing trades, ordering materials, holding the schedule, and owning the plan so you do not have to.
Design and construction under one roof, so the plan and the build never diverge.
Electrical, plumbing, and specialty trades handled by licensed professionals we trust.
Permits pulled and work built to code as a matter of course.
A defined scope and price up front, with change orders only on real scope change and your sign off.
Workmanship backed in writing by a local company that lives on its reputation.
Every home in Sherwood Park has its own history. We plan the work around the specific house in front of us, then build it to last.
Accountability is the whole product. When one team owns the design, the trades, the schedule, and the budget, there is no gap for problems to fall into and no one to blame but us. That is what lets you relax during a renovation instead of becoming an unpaid project manager on your own home.
We are local and we live on referrals and repeat work, which means our reputation in your community is the asset the whole business is built on. That aligns our interests with yours long after the final payment.
We quote against a fixed written scope that spells out what we are building, with what materials, to what standard. The number you approve is tied to that specific project, so it does not drift, and change orders happen only when scope genuinely changes, with your sign off.
The cheapest quote is often the most expensive renovation, because a low number usually hides an incomplete scope or a plan to make it up later. We would rather have the honest conversation up front than the ugly one halfway through.
Our job as your contractor is to protect both the budget and the quality, and a defined scope is how we do both.
No handoff gap between the people who plan and the people who build.
A single point of responsibility for the whole project.
A real price against a real scope, with no quiet change orders.
An Edmonton company that stands behind its work in writing.
