Extensive Selections of Top-Quality Materials

In most cases, the materials used in the basement differ from those used on the main floor of the house because of its location. They must be long-lasting and have the capacity to withstand some elements like excess moisture that most basements are susceptible to. We do not limit the possible options when it comes to supplies. We will show you the pros and cons of each, but ultimately, the decision will be yours.

Checking every part of the basement before starting the new renovation has always helped us save a lot of time and money by ensuring we solve potential problems before they manifest instead of covering them up.

Our team is highly experienced and can help transform any basement into a multi-functional space, home office, studio, legal second suite, personal gym, and more.

How to Use the Extra Space
Renovating your basement is always a smart move for numerous reasons. Here are some of the ways you can use your finished basement.

Guest room:

When your friends or relatives come to stay, it’s best to be able to accommodate them in a well-planed, furnished space. A finished based can offer privacy and comfort, and your guests will appreciate it.
A basement apartment:

Along with an additional bedroom, renovating your basement helps create a legal second suite. You can rent it out for an extra income.

Whether you want a simple bathroom design or a luxurious one, we have plans for you to check out. We will help you select the one that makes a bold statement.
Man Cave:

A man cave is a perfect place to keep all your collectables and extra items that may clutter the main floor.

We can install enough storage fixtures and other elements you want to make it more enjoyable.

Every aspect of the basement sauna renovation should be planned carefully to avoid all issues associated with excess moisture and heat.

How can I be sure I won’t pay more?

We value honesty and transparency. We also offer the most competitive prices and work with an in-house team only, which means you will not incur additional costs. We also provide the best value to price ratio and go the extra mile to offer professional advice and services to all our customers in the GTA region.

How much does a finished basement add to the value of my home?

If you consider the cost vs. value report about the benefits of basement renovation, you stand to gain a lot from such investments. You can recoup up to 74% of the amount you used on the renovation when you finally decide to sell the property. That shows that a basement renovation is one of the most rewarding home improvement projects, thanks to its potential to bring in the highest return of investments.

It is also important to remember that the actual value of a basement renovation can’t be worked out based on a cost recovery only. It can raise the property value for years even if you choose to stay there. Additionally, it makes the house more efficient when insulated properly, which helps you save money on temperature control costs.

A well-functioning basement also increases the comfort level in the house by preventing excess moisture or leaks, leading to a drier and cleaner home. That will improve the quality of air, keeping you and your loved ones safe.

How can I get adequate light into my basement

Several methods of increasing lighting in a basement are available, and our professionals can explain them in detail when you consult us. An example is building an egress, especially if you intend to use the basement as an extra bedroom. It can bring in natural light and serve as an emergency escape. We can also put in some lighting fixtures that are energy efficient. Choosing an open design layout instead of separating the rooms with walls can also help improve the lighting. Mirrors, correct paint colours, and other creative decorative elements can also brighten up the space and give a brilliant illusion to the room.

How do you select contractors for my basement renovation?

We have a comprehensive vetting process that ensures every contractor who arrives at your property is qualified to provide the services in question. We only approve those we are sure to have undergone the necessary training and possess the licenses, certifications, and insurance required in the industry.

We are thorough in our hiring process and have the skills to identify fraudulent contractors that may try to dupe you. We strive to protect you and your property because by doing so, we also protect our business. With us, you will always know about the people coming to the site in advance and can rest assured they have the skills to get the job done and keep your property safe. Our hand-picked team will give you a hassle-free experience.

Do I need to waterproof my basement before finishing?

Yes. The location of the basement makes it susceptible to dampness by increasing the chances of leaks. If left for long, the basement floors and walls begin to crack, and mould may grow on the surfaces. In worst-case scenarios, the issue may spread to the main floor of the house. All these are preventable by waterproofing the room before any renovation is done. Going ahead with the new construction without improving the ventilation and waterproofing will only result in more problems and expenses. Our team of specialists will recommend the best waterproofing system for your space to ensure you get lasting relief from moisture problems.

Do you renovate the entire basement or just install the walls?

Our renovation packages are always inclusive. That means we handle every aspect of the job, whether it is plumbing, ceiling, flooring, or electrical fixtures installations. We also do the finishing touches and will put all your decorative elements in place. We work with various materials and will help you make a choice based on your budget and preferred style.
