Basement Finishing

Your basement is the cheapest square footage you'll ever add to your home. We turn cold, unfinished space into rooms your family actually uses — or a legal secondary suite that pays the mortgage.

Overview

Basements in Toronto-area homes come with specific challenges: moisture, low headroom around ductwork, older wiring, and code requirements for egress, fire separation and ceiling height — especially if you're building a rental unit. We've finished basements across the GTA and design around these constraints from day one instead of discovering them mid-project.

From a warm, well-lit family room to a fully self-contained apartment with kitchen and separate entrance, we handle insulation, framing, subfloor systems, drywall, flooring, bathrooms, lighting and trim as one continuous project.

Our process

How the project runs

  1. 01

    Site assessment

    We check for moisture, measure headroom, locate mechanicals, and confirm what's possible — including whether a legal suite is feasible.

  2. 02

    Layout & quote

    You get a proposed floor plan and a line-item quote covering everything from framing to final paint.

  3. 03

    Rough-in

    Framing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC rough-ins, with inspections booked where permits apply.

  4. 04

    Finishing

    Insulation, drywall, flooring, bathroom and kitchen installs, doors, trim and paint.

  5. 05

    Final walkthrough

    We test everything together and hand over a finished, ready-to-furnish space.

FAQ

Common questions about basement finishing

Most standard basement finishes land between $45–$75 per square foot depending on layout and finishes. Adding a bathroom or a full legal suite increases the scope — we quote each project line by line so you can see exactly where the budget goes.
