With over two decades building across Edmonton, I've turned hundreds of properties into income-generating assets. What started as a carpentry apprenticeship evolved into a mission: helping homeowners maximize their property's potential through legal secondary suites.
Every project I take on is done with the same care I'd give my own home. That's not just a promise—it's how I've built my reputation.
"Twenty years in Edmonton taught me one thing: a well-built suite doesn't just pay rent—it transforms how families live and build wealth.

Owner & Founder
Jesse Bevans
From Apprentice to Leading Edmonton's Top Suite Building Team
Born and raised in Edmonton, I've spent over two decades transforming properties across our city. What started as a carpentry apprenticeship in 2004 has evolved into a mission: helping homeowners maximize their property's potential through legal secondary suites.
After earning my Red Seal certification in 2008, I didn't just build homes—I studied them. Working on hundreds of Edmonton properties, I noticed a clear pattern: the homes with well-built legal suites didn't just generate income, they sold faster and for significantly more money.
By 2015, I was investing in properties myself, experiencing firsthand what transforms a house from "another listing" into the one everyone wants. That hands-on market experience, combined with master-level craftsmanship, became the foundation of Suite Builders Edmonton. Today, I lead a skilled team of licensed tradespeople who share my commitment to quality—electricians, plumbers, and finishing specialists who've worked alongside me for years.
I build every suite like my own family is moving in. That mindset changes everything—from the materials we use to the details most contractors skip.

01 Quality First
The details you can't see are where most contractors cut corners. That's exactly where we don't.
02 Local Expertise
20 years in Edmonton. I know what rents fast in Windermere vs. Glenora—and I build accordingly.
03 Honest Communication
No surprises, no runaround. You deal directly with me from quote to completion.
04 Family Values
I'm building a business my kids can be proud of. That means no shortcuts, no excuses.
Edmonton Born & Raised
When I'm not building suites, you'll find me exploring the Edmonton river valley with my wife and our two kids. We love hiking the trails, camping in the Rockies, and showing our children the same outdoor spaces I grew up enjoying.
This connection to Edmonton isn't just personal—it's professional. I know our neighborhoods, our market, and what Edmonton families are looking for in a home. Every suite I build is done with the same care and attention I'd give to my own family's home.
Owner-Led, Team-Built
When you hire Suite Builders Edmonton, you work directly with me—not a sales rep or project manager. I answer my own phone, do my own estimates, and personally oversee every project from permit application to final inspection.
But I don't build alone. Behind me is a trusted team of licensed tradespeople—electricians, plumbers, HVAC specialists, and finishing carpenters—many of whom have worked with me for years. We've built over 100 legal suites together across Edmonton, and that experience shows.
You get the accountability of working with the owner and the capacity of an experienced crew. That's how we deliver quality at scale while maintaining the personal touch that larger contractors can't match.
