Our Basement Renovation Process

  • We begin with a complimentary consultation at your home. During this visit, we:

    • Discuss how you want to use the space

    • Review the existing basement layout, structure, and utilities

    • Offer ideas and practical suggestions

    • Talk about timelines, budget, and finishing options

    Our goal is to design a basement that adds real value and usable square footage to your home.

  • Next, we prepare a custom layout that reflects your needs, including:

    • Room divisions (bedrooms, bathrooms, rec areas, etc.)

    • Storage solutions

    • Mechanical planning (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)

    • Lighting and ceiling height considerations

    We’ll also provide a detailed quote so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises.

  • If your renovation includes structural changes, bathrooms, or a legal basement apartment, we’ll take care of:

    • Obtaining all required permits

    • Ensuring your basement complies with Ontario Building Code regulations

    • Scheduling inspections and approvals

    You can relax knowing everything is done right — and above board.

  • Once approved, our experienced crew gets to work:

    • Framing walls and building new rooms

    • Insulating and soundproofing as needed

    • Installing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems

    • Creating a safe and solid foundation for your finished space

    We use high-quality materials and proven construction techniques — every step of the way.

  • Now we bring your basement to life with:

    • Drywall, trim, and paint

    • Flooring (vinyl, carpet, tile, or engineered wood)

    • Custom cabinetry, built-ins, or wet bars

    • Bathroom installations or laundry rooms

    • Final lighting and fixture installation

    Every detail is finished to the highest standard by skilled craftsmen.

  • Before we consider the project complete, we’ll:

    • Walk through the entire space with you

    • Ensure every item on the scope is done right

    • Address any final touch-ups promptly

    We don’t leave the job until you’re completely satisfied.
