Basement Renovation

Generally, an unfinished basement has the potential of becoming whatever you need it to be. The professional contractors at RenoDuck Renovations offer excellent renovations services along with valuable upgrades. They turn a damp, dusty, and dark cellar space into a beautiful, lively area where you can spend quality time with your family, friends, and colleagues.

The options are endless when it comes to upgrading your cellar space. You can create a quiet environment to work in, a personalized gym, a kitchenette, an extra bathroom, a basement spa, and much more. Our contractors will plan the renovation project in accordance with your needs and budget. For example, if you plan to have an extra bedroom in the basement, the plan will be different from that for a property owner who wants to turn their basement into a theatre room.

At RenoDuck Renovations, we offer flexible rates, financing options, and terms that suit various situations. Your home is an important investment, and finishing your basement in style is a cost-effective way to boost its value. No matter how simple or complicated your renovation plan is, you can rely on our experience, expertise, and dedication to offer you the basement of your dreams.

Legal Basement

A recent real estate market trend report revealed that an increasing number of residential property owners choose to renovate or finish their basements to create a legal second suite. Having a rental unit in your cellar space is a potential source of income for low and medium-income families, seniors, and even young adults. This extra revenue can be used to repay mortgages, college fees for kids, finance vacations, and more.

However, your legal second suite must meet specific building codes and regulations. These conditions vary from one city to another, which is why you should let an experienced professional handle the renovations process. At RenoDuck Renovations, we source our construction materials from reputable suppliers. Also, we have a team of experts in basement renovations, and we always guarantee our work. Therefore, property owners in Newmarket, Vaughan, Waterloo, Bradford, and the entire Greater Toronto Area can be assured of excellent services.

Basement Walkout

Property owners are forever interested in optimizing the space they own. Having a basement walkout can significantly increase the functionality of your cellar room. Probably your child intends to use the extra bedroom, or you want to rent out the unit. A walkout basement offers you an option to rent out the unit as a separate apartment, and this means an extra income.

Sometimes, excavation and underpinning installation (to protect foundation) may be necessary during the construction of the walkout basement. This is a complex process that requires expertise and precision. One wrong move could compromise the structural integrity of your property’s foundation and the durability of the basement walkout.

A well-finished basement offers numerous opportunities for creating your desired additions to your living space. Here are some of the common options.
How to Use the Extra Space

Additional Bedroom:

As your teenage kids get older, an additional bedroom in the basement is a good way of allowing them to enjoy some level of independence.
Basement Apartment:

You can also rent out a perfectly-designed basement apartment for an extra income.
A Playroom:

The finished basement can serve as a playroom where you can let your colleagues cover for a game night.
Home Gym:

You can turn your basement into a personalized gym. In addition to accessing a fitness facility in the comfort of your home, you don’t need a gym membership.
Additional Bathroom:

How about an additional bathroom? You can count on our experts to do waterproofing and drywalling to prevent leaks.
Basement Kitchen:

Basement kitchen renovation gives you more freedom to utilize the basement space however you like. You can host your friends or enjoy family movie time conveniently, no longer having to go to the main floor to get snacks or meals. Multiple design options work for different basement spaces. Our creative team will help you get the right one and construct it quickly.
Basement Theatre:

A dedicated space for entertainment can improve your experience significantly, especially when you have the correct fixtures and appliances. Our team can give you a basement home theatre unlike any other to make your family movie time memorable. Our team is motivated by passion and can work with any budget range.
Basement Sauna:

We encourage our clients to think about the potential dangers of a basement sauna renovation instead of the benefits only. We are the best company to help you avoid the heat and moisture-related issues that could threaten the safety of your property. Whatever sauna heat you prefer, be assured it will not damage the house.
Man Cave:

Do you crave a specific room where you can have peace of mind and relax? A man cave can have any design ranging from modern to minimalist. We can get you any entertainment unit you prefer to ensure you never get bored when in there. Our team will help you explore all your options to make the man cave uniquely yours.
Home Office:

The secluded location of the basement means you can be more productive when you turn it into an office. It also increases the chances of making a good profit when you decide to sell the house because it adds usable space to the property. Trust Reno Duck to give you the ideal home office that suits your profession.

How can I be sure I won’t have to pay more?

Our contractors know that the best way to remain reputable is by remaining competitive and offering unbeatable customer service. That is why they focus on providing superior quality to price ratio. You will pay affordable prices and enjoy many other benefits, such as free expert consultation and advice. Besides, we agree on the price upfront.

How much value will basement renovation add to my home?

Basement renovation is one of the most rewarding ventures you can undertake. You can recover over 70% of the cost when you sell the property. That is according to this report. However, the actual value of a basement renovation can’t be calculated based on a cost recovery only.

The possibility that the property will pay for itself over time also accounts for the value addition. That potential remains, despite the fluctuations experienced in the real estate market. History has shown that property values double every twenty years, meaning that any renovation will only add to the property appreciation.

Finishing a basement also boosts the efficiency of the house by reducing the cooling and heating costs. You can save hundreds of dollars every year. Insulating the basement will also increase the comfort levels. By solving moisture and foundation problems, the atmosphere in the house also becomes more conducive and healthier for the inhabitants. It eliminates respiratory issues by improving air quality. All these show that the value of a complete basement is unmatched.

How can I get adequate light into my basement?

Adding more brightness into the basement is not as complicated as it seems, especially if you work with a creative team of experts like ours. One way is by building an egress window that will provide natural light and serve as an emergency exit. That is mandatory if you turn the basement into an apartment. Controlling the lighting to ensure the natural light and the light fixtures complement each other can also make the basement brighter. You can do that by having retractable screens that allow you to enjoy watching movies without the glare from natural light. Dimmer bulbs at the viewing area can also work. Not having too many walls partitioning the basement or having an open plan can also work.

How do I select contractors for my basement renovation?

Screening several contractors before settling on one is always better than choosing the first one you come across. You must also check their qualifications, including insurance covers, references, whether the licenses are valid, and background. Ensure they do not have a criminal record. You can also conduct interviews to gather more information about the contractors before choosing one. Recommendations from friends and family or local professionals in the industry can also help you with the selection.

Reno Duck contractors meet the above criteria and more. We are talented and specialized in all areas of renovations. That allows us to deliver personalized services according to the demands and objectives of every client. Our contractors can complete any renovation project and will not disappoint you. Whatever you want to turn the basement into, whether a playroom, office, sauna, or any other utility, our team will give you the best results.

Is it necessary to waterproof my basement before finishing?

Yes, although exterior waterproofing is better when done during house construction. However, waterproofing can still be effective when done after construction. Failing to waterproof can result in many problems after you settle into the new basement. You will end up dealing with mould, mildew, or other moisture-related issues. That means spending more money on repairs and eventually having to seal the basement like you should have done in the first place.

Do it even if there is no water pooling close to the house foundation. The renovation contractor can help you choose the best waterproofing option depending on factors like exposure to water.

Should I renovate the entire basement or installing the walls is enough?

The decision to do a full or partial renovation is a personal one. In most cases, it depends on what you want to turn the basement into and your budget. If you can afford to do complete remodelling, go for it, so you do not have to worry about another renovation in the future.
