    I met with Kelsey and Jasmeen and see why this is everyones first choice for a kitchen and basement remodel in Edmonton.<br><br>Kelsey can make your vision come to life with their inhouse design studio, so no running around yourself trying to figure out hardware, lights, flooring, etc. Makes it less overwhelming and gets you excited for the process!

    Everyone at Mode Built was very professional and friendly. Our basement development was completed in a timely manner and looks wonderful. We are very pleased with how it all turned out. All of the trades people that came to work on the basement were friendly, professional and respectful. Kelsey was very good at communicating with us on anything that required our attention and kept us updated with a daily schedule. Trent was awesome!!!. He was always ready to address any concerns we had and was always a friendly fellow. Jason, Trent, Kelsey, Jake, Alex, David, and all the other trades people were all great. Thank you to Shaun for hiring such great trades people. We can't say enough great things about this company. We would highly recommend Mode Built.

    In a word, Mode was “outstanding“. We had a full basement renovation and from start to finish, they were professional, thorough, and focussed on the customer. Kelsey, their design consultant was of enormous help, and the entire crew, Colton especially, was absolutely top-notch. High-quality, attention to detail, and absolutely value for money spent. I would recommend them to my family and I certainly recommend them to you.

    I just can’t recommend Mode Built enough!<br><br>The entire team was fantastic to work with from the initial design consultation all the way through the final walkthrough. Everyone was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy with the project.<br><br>Our basement has a very unusual layout, but the team came up with a thoughtful solution that made excellent use of the space while accommodating the features we wanted. Throughout construction, they were also incredibly considerate of our family. We had a newborn at home, and they did their best to keep the work area clean and minimize noise whenever possible, which we truly appreciated.<br><br>The finished basement exceeded our expectations and has become the dream space we envisioned. Thank you to everyone at Mode Built for making the entire experience such a positive one. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to finish or renovate their basement!

    This is as much a Thank you as it is a a review. I was searching online for a renovation company to develop the basement of our house we bought. We had not even taken possession of the property but I starting searching in Feb 2026 as we had family coming from out of country to visit at the end of June . Based off of reviews and their website I emailed Mode Built. I got a fast reply from Jasmeen. From there Simon listen to what I wanted in the basement. He was able to start designing based off of the listing photo and video I sent of the basement. Based on this he gave me an estimate. In March 2026 after we took possession he came out to do some measurements and give an accurate quote. The rest is “history”! They looked after everything, permits, trades, inspections. We met the team at there Design Showroom and office. Kelsey, Interior designer extraordinaire helped us pick out our finishings. No need to visit multiple supplier. Kelsey is also the coordinator and liaison person for concerns which was a real asset. No email or inquiry was left unanswered throughout the time they were developing our basement. Jason was our project manager and Trent are main hands on team lead. They were down to earth, friendly and made sure everything was running as smooth as could be. They also strived to make sure you were completely happy with the work being done. Shaun did our final inspection and walk through. It’s a sign of a good company when the owner makes sure you are completely satisfied. Mode Built hires trades who are professional and respectful. They take pride in their work. Mode Built uses an App called Builder Trend so you know exactly what’s happening from week to week and day to day. I never felt unsafe or had to question who was entering my home.<br>Words I would use to describe Mode Built: Professional, Friendly, Approachable, Reliable, Seamlessly organized, Customer oriented, Strives to make your renovation stress free. Stands by their work post completion.<br>Thank you Mode Built. We couldn’t be happier with our basement ..built on time , within budget and to perfection! We will definitely recommend you to family and friends.

    Mode Built has been nothing short of phenomenal throughout this chapter of our lives.<br><br>When we purchased our home, the very first project we wanted to complete was our basement development. We shopped around and met with several companies, but ultimately chose Mode Built because of the professionalism, transparency, and communication they demonstrated right from the very beginning. Looking back now, it was absolutely the right decision.<br><br>With a baby on the way and a limited timeline, the entire team went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. Every stage of the project was organized, communication was prompt, and we always felt informed about what was happening next.<br><br>I had the pleasure of working with some truly outstanding people throughout this project.<br><br>Thank you to Simon, who first met with us, took the time to understand our vision, prepared the estimate, and developed the initial drawings. He made us feel comfortable and confident in choosing Mode Built from the very beginning.<br><br>Thank you to Shaun, the co-founder, who was there on the first day and returned again on the final day. That level of involvement speaks volumes about the pride they take in their work.<br><br>Thank you to Jason for ensuring the project ran smoothly from start to finish, Kelsey for her excellent coordination and prompt communication, and Rosalia, Jasmeen and Martina in the office for always being so responsive, organized, and helpful. Thank you as well to Alex for making sure everything stayed on track behind the scenes.<br><br>A very special thank you goes to Trent. Throughout the entire project, Trent was here almost every day making sure everything was progressing properly, answering our questions, providing valuable advice, and taking the time to ensure every detail and touch-up was completed to a high standard. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for the project never went unnoticed. Our kids even became quite fond of him and were genuinely sad when the project came to an end. That alone says a lot about the kind of person he is.<br><br>I also want to recognize all of the tradespeople Mode Built works with. Every single person who came into our home was professional, respectful, courteous, and incredibly mindful. They treated our home with care, took pride in their workmanship, and always cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. It was clear that everyone respected our home as if it were their own, and we truly appreciated that throughout the entire project.<br><br>The quality of the finished basement exceeded our expectations. It has transformed our home into exactly what we envisioned and truly feels like a natural extension of the house rather than an afterthought. Every dollar spent was absolutely worth it.<br><br>We have already started recommending Mode Built to our friends and family, and we would not hesitate to use them again for future projects.<br><br>To everyone at Mode Built - thank you for making this such a positive experience. This project will always be remembered as a wonderful chapter in our family's life, and we are incredibly grateful for all of your hard work.<br><br>Thank you again, Mode Built.<br><br>-Praveer

Company Background

About Mode Built Basements

Mode Built works from Unit 207 at 18304 105 Avenue NW in west Edmonton and serves the city and surrounding communities. Founders Ryan and Shaun started the company in 2012 as Mode Contracting after seeing corners cut at a builder they worked for. It opened a St. Albert office in 2019, moved to Edmonton in 2020, rebranded as Mode Built in 2022 and says it has now finished more than 550 renovations.

Basements are the specialty, and the legal suite is the signature job. Case studies describe a three-bedroom legal basement suite built in six weeks, with the Edmonton Secondary Suite Grant paperwork handled along the way, and a Chappelle basement suite. The company also builds kitchens, bathrooms and full-home remodels, plus kitchenettes for basement suites. An in-house design studio lets clients compare flooring, cabinetry, tile and fixtures with a designer instead of driving between suppliers.

The FAQ is more specific about credentials than most. Mode Built says it carries a 5 million dollar liability policy, is covered by the Workers' Compensation Board of Alberta, uses licensed tradespeople with WCB coverage and is a prepaid contractor. It describes a team with more than 75 years of combined construction experience that includes a journeyman electrician and warranty technicians. Projects come with a two-year warranty on materials and labour that starts at the end of the job, and the company says builds follow the Alberta Building Code after permits are obtained. It offers financing through Financeit, and it is RenoMark certified.

Reviewers mention Ryan's advice, quiet scheduling around a toddler's nap time and fast, permit-ready legal suites. One client reported that the basement has held up for three years with no problems.

Mode Built has 4.9 from 83 Google reviews, read October 30, 2026. It suits homeowners finishing a basement, adding a legal suite or renovating a kitchen or bathroom. It suits less well anyone who wants to walk in without an appointment, because the office is a suite. The site lists two phone numbers, so confirm which to call. Before booking, ask for the written quote, the permit plan, the warranty terms and proof of insurance and WCB coverage.
