Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a basement renovation take?
Most basement renovations take 6–10 weeks, depending on the size, scope, and level of customization. Projects with bathrooms, kitchenettes, or legal suites may extend to 10–14+ weeks. We provide a clear schedule and keep you updated throughout the process.
Do I need to have a design ready before starting?
No — our design-build team will help create a layout that fits your goals, whether you want extra living space, a home office, gym, or a second suite. We guide you through finishes, materials, and code requirements.
Can I use my basement during the renovation?
Typically, the basement under renovation will be inaccessible during construction. However, we isolate the work area, manage dust, and coordinate noisy or disruptive work to minimize impact on your household.
Do you handle permits for basement renovations?
Yes — if your project involves plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or the creation of a legal second suite, we take care of all drawings, permits, and inspections required by your municipality.
What does a typical basement renovation cost?
Costs vary widely depending on scope. In the GTA, finishing a basement may start around $40K–$70K+, while adding a bathroom or kitchenette can bring totals to $60K–$110K+. A legal second suite often ranges from $100K–$180K+. We provide upfront estimates and detailed proposals tailored to your project.
