Serving Turner Valley Homeowners
Turner Valley sits adjacent to Black Diamond at the edge of the foothills, and the two communities merged in January 2023 to form the Town of Diamond Valley. From a renovation-market standpoint, Turner Valley and Black Diamond have always functioned together: same builder pool, same trade availability, same housing-stock characteristics. Most homeowners think of the two as one community, and our service approach treats them that way.
Turner Valley's housing stock reflects the town's history. The original townsite has older homes (some pre-WWII) built when Turner Valley was a major oil-and-gas centre. Suburban development from the 1980s onward expanded the town outward. The surrounding foothills are home to acreages and ranch properties that fall under the MD of Foothills for permits but are part of the local renovation conversation.
Why Turner Valley Homeowners Choose Parkside
Turner Valley has the same general dynamic as Black Diamond: limited local options for full-scope renovation contractors, a small specialty-trade pool, and homeowners with multi-trade projects who need a single contractor to coordinate the entire scope. We provide that coordination, with our existing trade network and project-management discipline. The 25-minute commute from Okotoks makes Turner Valley one of our easier service-area towns to deliver for.
For older Turner Valley homes specifically, we bring experience with heritage-vintage construction. Pre-1980 homes can have layered renovation history: owner-improvements, contractor work of variable quality, and original systems intermixed. Reading those layers during an initial walkthrough and pricing accordingly is something we do well.
Popular Turner Valley Renovations
Older home comprehensive renovation
Pre-1980 Turner Valley homes often need substantial work to function as modern homes. The standard scope includes electrical re-wire, plumbing replacement, kitchen rebuild, primary bathroom rebuild, main-floor flooring update, and any required structural reinforcement. These are 4 to 7 month projects depending on the home's specific condition and the scope decisions you make.
Suburban kitchen and bathroom updates
1980s and 90s Turner Valley homes typically need standard mid-life renovation work: kitchen refresh, primary bathroom rebuild, basement development. The scope and pricing is similar to equivalent Calgary suburban work.
Acreage primary suite and kitchen projects
Foothills acreages around Turner Valley often have larger primary suites and kitchens that benefit from comprehensive work: tiled walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, expanded walk-in closets, butler's pantries, and integrated mudrooms. Investment ranges vary widely depending on scope, typically $80,000 to $200,000+.
Walk-out basement development
Some Turner Valley homes (particularly newer builds and acreage properties on slopes) have walk-out lower levels. Walk-out conversions are different from standard basement developments because of the natural light, the higher ceilings, and the patio integration possibilities. We deliver walk-outs as proper second-main-floor builds.
Diamond Valley / Foothills Permit Considerations
Town of Diamond Valley permits cover Turner Valley and Black Diamond properties within town limits. Permit process is generally efficient: 2 to 4 weeks for typical residential renovations. Acreage properties surrounding Turner Valley fall under the MD of Foothills, which has a different permit process. The MD generally requires more documentation for septic and well-related work, and longer processing times for any work involving the property's footprint or drainage. We handle the entire permit submission process on the homeowner's behalf.

How far is Turner Valley from your office?
Turner Valley is about 25 minutes from our Okotoks office, adjacent to Black Diamond. We work in both communities regularly and treat them as a single service area in practice.
Are Turner Valley and Black Diamond the same town now?
Yes. Turner Valley and Black Diamond merged in January 2023 to form the Town of Diamond Valley. Permits, inspections, and town services are unified. The two communities are adjacent and have always functioned as a single market.
What is the typical Turner Valley home age?
Turner Valley has a mix similar to Black Diamond. Older homes downtown date to the early-to-mid-20th century when Turner Valley was an active oil and gas centre. Newer suburban subdivisions on the periphery were developed from the 1980s through the 2010s. Foothills acreages surround the town.
Are foothills acreages in Turner Valley different to renovate?
Acreage renovations have a few distinctive considerations: well water, septic, propane (rather than natural gas in some areas), longer driveways for material delivery, and slope or drainage management on hillside properties. The interior renovation work itself is the same as urban projects. Permits for acreages go through the MD of Foothills.
Do you handle pre-1960 homes in Turner Valley?
Yes. Some Turner Valley homes are 60 to 100 years old and require comprehensive work: electrical re-wire, plumbing replacement, structural reinforcement, sometimes lead paint or asbestos remediation alongside the cosmetic work. We approach these projects with the time and budget honesty they require.
