Basement Renovations

An unfinished basement is the cheapest floor area most Ontario homes will ever add. Finishing one properly — insulation, framing, drywall, flooring, lighting and often a bathroom — typically costs a fraction of what an addition does and adds genuinely usable space: a family room, a home office, a gym, or a self-contained suite.

Basements also carry the most rules. A basement apartment or in-law suite must meet Ontario Building Code and Fire Code requirements for ceiling heights, egress windows, separation and smoke alarms, and most municipalities require permits and registration for second units. A basement quote from us states clearly whether your plan is a straightforward finishing job or a second-unit project with the code work that entails.
