Bernie and Kurt Janz are the father and son team that work together to focus on meticulously designing custom homes that are tailored to each client. They believe that a home should be a personal experience and a signature of those who live in it.

Kurt has been in the building industry in Calgary since the mid-1950’s proving an incredible longevity in Calgary’s up and down market. Kurt oversees the building of the homes, ensuring the detail and quality of the California Passion is included in every home. Focusing on fine-tuning plans, detailing interior finishing and cabinetry design and layouts, it is not uncommon to see Kurt, one of the owners of California Homes Ltd., on site listening to the customers and workers to ensure the house becomes a personal masterpiece. Kurt brings RELATIONSHIP to California Homes. Kurt has many long standing relationships with trades’ workers, building suppliers, The City of Calgary and home-owners. After working with Kurt, it is not surprising to hear words like honest, generous, creative thinker, problem solver, and full of integrity and incredible expressions of loyalty by his clients. Many of Kurt’s clients have returned once or twice for help with building a home for the next stage of life because they believe in his company.

Many of the clients that come to Bernie have been visiting his show homes for many years. Admiring his innovative and fresh designs, his vision and passion for his homes, it is clear that Bernie brings CREATIVITY to California Homes. With an approachable nature, a fresh outlook on life and an obsessive attention to detail, it is no wonder that Bernie is one of the top designers in his field.
