From Vancouver to the Prairies: Bringing World-Class Smart Home Technology to Calgary
June 26, 2026
Some companies grow by chasing markets. Pure Image grew by following the homes.
When Drew Galvin founded Pure Image in Vancouver in 2005, the vision was straightforward: bridge the gap between the technology people want and the simplicity they need to actually enjoy it. Twenty years later, that mission hasn’t changed — but the scale of what we do, and where we do it, has grown into something none of us could have predicted in those early days.
Today we’re a team of 60+ specialists across Vancouver, Whistler, Victoria and Calgary, working on some of the most beautiful and complex homes and commercial spaces in Western Canada. And Calgary is our newest chapter — one we’ve been building toward for a while, and one we’re genuinely excited about.
Building Something That Lasts
From the beginning, Pure Image was never about moving fast and cutting corners. We built our reputation project by project, client by client, earning trust the hard way — by showing up, doing the work properly, and staying around long after the job was done.
That approach attracted a certain kind of client. Homeowners who cared deeply about their spaces. Builders and architects who had a vision and needed a technology partner who could match it. People who understood that the difference between a good smart home and a great one isn’t the equipment — it’s the team behind it.
Over two decades we’ve become one of Canada’s most credentialed smart home integration companies. We are a Platinum Elite Crestron Dealer — one of only 20 in the world and the only company in Canada on the Crestron Dealer Board. We are Canada’s most highly qualified Control4 dealer and proud recipients of the Control4 Partner of the Year award. These aren’t just credentials on a wall. They represent thousands of hours of training, programming, installation and aftercare across hundreds of projects.
Why Calgary?
Calgary is a city that knows quality. From the sprawling acreage estates of Bearspaw to the grand character homes of Upper Mount Royal and Elbow Park, to the sleek modern builds rising across Aspen Woods and Discovery Ridge — Calgary’s most discerning homeowners have always invested in their spaces. What they haven’t always had access to is a smart home integration company with the depth of expertise, the brand partnerships and the dedicated service infrastructure to match those ambitions.
That’s what Pure Image brings to Calgary.
We’re not a company that installs equipment and moves on. We design, engineer, program and support every system we build — with dedicated teams for sales, project management, installation, programming and long-term aftercare. For Calgary homeowners and businesses who are serious about technology done properly, that difference matters enormously.
The Person Leading the Charge
Bringing Pure Image to a new market takes the right person. For Calgary, that’s Brendan McLeod.
Brendan spent several years with Pure Image in Vancouver before returning home to Alberta to establish and grow our Calgary presence. His background has always been on the service side of the industry — working closely with clients, builders, designers, consultants and property managers to solve real technology challenges and support systems long after a project is complete.
What makes Brendan the right person for this role isn’t just his technical knowledge — it’s his genuine belief that technology should make life easier, not more complicated. That’s the Pure Image philosophy, and it’s the standard every Calgary client can expect.
What Smart Home Technology Means in Calgary
Calgary homes have a character and ambition all of their own.
The acreage properties of Bearspaw demand technology that can manage vast spaces — multiple zones of audio, lighting scenes that respond to Alberta’s dramatic seasonal light changes, climate systems that handle prairie winters and warm summers with equal intelligence. The heritage homes of Roxboro and Britannia need technology integrated sensitively, invisibly, without compromising the architectural character that makes these properties special. And the new luxury builds rising across the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods deserve the full range of what world-class smart home automation can deliver.
We’ve already begun working with Calgary homeowners, builders and architects — and what we’re hearing consistently is that the market is ready. Ready for Crestron home automation that ties every system in a home together. Ready for Lutron lighting control and motorized shading that transforms how a space feels throughout the day. Ready for Sonance architectural audio that delivers exceptional sound while disappearing completely into the space. Ready for home theatres that rival anything you’d find in Vancouver or Whistler.
The Technology Behind It
The brands we bring to Calgary aren’t chosen by accident. Every system we specify and install has been chosen because it performs flawlessly, looks beautiful and lasts.
Crestron gives our clients complete, seamless control over every system in their home from anywhere in the world — lights, climate, audio visual, motorized shading, security and networking, all unified into one intuitive platform. Lutron delivers lighting scenes and whisper-quiet motorized shading that respond intelligently to time of day, sunlight and personal preference — particularly valuable in Calgary’s climate where managing heat and light throughout the seasons makes a real difference. Control4 unifies everything into an interface the whole family can use effortlessly. Sonance and Sonos bring music alive throughout the entire home. And when a client wants a cinematic experience — a dedicated home theatre with 4K projection, Dolby Atmos surround sound and Kaleidescape — we build it from the ground up, engineered specifically for their space.
Backed by Pure Image’s 60+ person team across Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria, every Calgary project benefits from one of Western Canada’s most experienced integration companies — with the local presence and personal service of a team that’s right here in Alberta.
What’s Next
We’re just getting started in Calgary — and that’s exactly what excites us. This is a city with extraordinary homes, ambitious builders and architects, and clients who understand the value of doing things properly. We’re here to build relationships, deliver exceptional work, and become the most trusted smart home automation company in Southern Alberta.
