When a business owner invests in a commercial renovation in Red Deer, they need a contractor they can trust to get it right. At Ross Contracting, we bring the same craftsmanship and attention to detail to commercial interiors that we bring to every custom home build. When Shanna Soehn, owner of Altered Gown, came to us with a vision for her gown and alterations boutique, we got to work turning that vision into a space her clients would remember. The result speaks for itself: a beautifully finished interior, delivered on time, with clear communication every step of the way.
What the Commercial Renovation at Altered Gown Involved
Shanna described the renovation scope as extensive, covering the main area of the boutique from top to bottom. Ross Contracting managed the full interior build, coordinating all trades and keeping the project on track so Shanna always knew where things stood.
From the outset, the goal was to create a space that felt elevated and welcoming, fitting for a business that works with clients on some of the most meaningful days of their lives. Every finish, every detail, and every design decision was made with that experience in mind.
The completed space is bright and open, with a clean white palette that lets the gowns take centre stage. The front desk area features a stunning light stone surface, and gold accents carry throughout the boutique in the form of curtain rods in the change rooms, lamp fixtures, and open built-in closet storage. Those open shelves are a deliberate design choice: without doors in the way, the gowns themselves become part of the decor, which is exactly the kind of thoughtful detail that separates a well-designed commercial space from a functional one.
It is the kind of result that comes from a team that takes commercial builds as seriously as residential ones, and from a client who had a clear vision for how her customers should feel the moment they walk in.
A Renovation Process That Was Smooth from Start to Finish
One of the things Shanna highlighted after completing the project was how easy and seamless the entire process felt. Good communication is something Ross Contracting takes seriously on every job, and that showed throughout the Altered Gown build. Shanna knew what was happening at every stage, which meant no surprises and no stress.
That kind of renovation does not happen by accident. It comes from having strong project management, experienced trades, and a team that respects both the client's timeline and their business. When a commercial space is being renovated, the owner often needs to plan around the disruption. Ross Contracting works to minimize that impact and keep things moving efficiently.
For business owners considering a commercial renovation in Red Deer, the Altered Gown project is a strong example of what thoughtful planning and skilled execution can deliver.
