Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered.
How long does a typical basement renovation take?
The timeline for a basement renovation can vary widely depending on the size of the space, the complexity of the design, and the scope of work. A standard project can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks. We provide a detailed project timeline during the planning phase so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need a permit for my basement renovation
In most cases, yes, you will need a building permit for a basement renovation in Ottawa, especially if the work involves structural changes, electrical or plumbing alterations, or creating a new bedroom or a legal secondary dwelling unit. We will guide you through the permit process to ensure all work is compliant with local building codes.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured. Our team adheres to local regulations and standards to ensure your renovation is completed safely and legally.
What is the average cost of a basement renovation?
The cost of a basement renovation varies significantly based on factors like size, materials, and the features you want to include. A basic finishing project will be less expensive than a full-scale remodel with a new bathroom, kitchen, or wet bar. During your consultation, we provide a transparent, detailed estimate based on your specific project goals.
Can you help with the design and layout?
Absolutely. Our team provides professional design services to help you maximize your basement’s potential. We’ll work with you to create a layout that fits your lifestyle, whether you envision a home theatre, a home office, a gym, or an income-generating rental suite.
Do you provide a warranty on your work?
Yes, we stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship. We offer a comprehensive five-year extended warranty on all our basement renovation projects, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
What is the difference between a basement finishing and a basement renovation?
Basement finishing involves turning an unfinished, bare-concrete basement into a livable space with drywall, flooring, and basic lighting. A basement renovation, on the other hand, typically involves a more complex remodel of an already-finished space, which might include reconfiguring the layout, adding new features, or updating plumbing and electrical systems.
How do you handle moisture and waterproofing issues?
Moisture is a common concern in basements. Our process includes a thorough inspection to identify any existing moisture problems. We use professional-grade waterproofing solutions, proper insulation, and vapor barriers to ensure your renovated basement stays dry, warm and comfortable for years to come.
Can a basement renovation increase my home's value?
Yes, a professionally finished basement is one of the best ways to add significant value to your home. It effectively increases your usable living space and makes your property more appealing to potential buyers.
What kind of lighting is best for a basement?
Basements often lack natural light, so lighting design is crucial. We typically recommend a combination of pot lights for general ambient lighting, as well as task and accent lighting to highlight specific areas. Light-colored walls and ceilings can also help the space feel brighter and more open.
Can I add a bathroom or kitchen to my basement?
Yes. Adding a bathroom or kitchen is a popular choice for creating a guest suite or a legal secondary dwelling unit. This requires plumbing, electrical, and ventilation work that must meet building codes. Our team has extensive experience in these types of installations
