Where we come in

What homeowners usually need

An unfinished basement you are not using

Concrete floors and open framing are space your home already has. Finishing it is often the most practical way to add living space.

An old basement that needs a fresh start

Dated panelling, low lighting and worn floors can be stripped back and rebuilt to a modern standard.

Plans for a family room, office or guest room

We plan the layout around how you will use the space, then build it in the right order.

Permits and licensed trades

Finishing a basement can require a building permit, especially for structural changes, plumbing or heating changes, a new entrance, underpinning or a second suite. We confirm what applies to your basement before work starts and write it into your estimate.

Questions

Basement renovation FAQ

Do I need a permit to finish my basement?
Often, yes, especially if you add a bathroom, change plumbing or heating, add a separate entrance or create a second suite. Simple finishing work may not. We confirm what applies to your basement before starting.
Can you add a bathroom to my basement?
Yes, a basement bathroom can be part of the project. Plumbing is coordinated with licensed trades, and we check the drain location and permit needs during the site visit.
What flooring works best in a basement?
Waterproof vinyl plank (SPC) is a common choice for basements because it handles moisture well. We look at the condition of the slab before recommending anything.
Who does the plumbing and electrical work?
Plumbing and electrical work is carried out by licensed trades that we coordinate as part of your project. Your estimate shows which trade work is involved.
How long does a renovation take?
It depends on the scope. A bathroom and a full basement are very different projects. Your written estimate includes the timeline for your project.
