A locally owned, family-run Calgary business

Our story

True Grit Services LTD is a locally owned, family-run business proudly serving Calgary and surrounding communities. We're not a franchise. We're a hardworking local team that believes in treating every home and every client with care and respect.

With Jesse bringing the hands-on experience and Jenny managing the behind-the-scenes operations, we work together to provide quality workmanship, clear communication, and dependable service from start to finish.

We believe in doing things right, standing behind our work, and building lasting relationships with our clients. Whether it's a small repair or a larger renovation, our commitment remains the same: Built on Grit. Driven by Integrity.
