Meet Jared Buote.

I come from a family of builders. You could say construction is in my blood. Starting out, it was very grassroots, helping homeowners with small projects along the way to building this business. When you focus on relationships and trust, you share the experience and see the big impact of small details.

Every project is an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to do work I’m proud of and – most importantly – work homeowners can be proud of too. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of building great relationships and earning the trust of individuals and families in Calgary. There are few things better than knowing I’ve helped someone realize their vision or brought them one step closer to living in their dream home.

For many homeowners, unfinished basements represent the last step. They’re spaces full of potential, capable of transitioning a house to a completed space that genuinely feels like home.

If you’re reading this and envisioning what your basement could be, reach out. Let’s work together and see what kind of potential it holds.

Why should Calgarians choose BETTER?

TRUST: We’re not another faceless company. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships and standing behind our work. We’re proud to share who we are, how we partner with our clients and what you can expect — every step of the way.

TECHNOLOGY: We ensure you have all the information about your renovation at your fingertips. Our integrated project management platform, Buildbook, gives you real-time, anytime access to your project status and schedule. You can communicate and collaborate with us too. No guesswork, no feeling like you’re on the outside looking in. It's your home, and you’re part of the project.

TRANSPARENCY: Contractors and construction companies don't have the best rap. That’s why our mission is to be BETTER with an easy, clear and honest process. It starts with authentic, face-to-face relationships. From there, we keep you informed with digital accessibility and upfront quotes, timelines and information about contractors. Because when it comes to your home, you deserve the comfort of trust.

TRUE BLUE APPROACH: We’re a company that cares deeply both on and off-site. When you work with us, you're part of something better. Here's how:
We divert project waste from the landfill by recycling, re-purposing, and re-storing, reducing our carbon emissions by about 250 kg per basement development.
We built this company from the ground up and are proud to invest in others who want to do the same. That's why we've created the BETTER GRANT. It’s a local source of funding awarded to a self-employed entrepreneur in the community.
