BASEMENT FINISHING CONTRACTORS TORONTO

Especially old summer houses crawl spaces under old houses are a very disgusting place. Between the floor joists and raw earth they often have only a few inches of clearance. They collect spiders, mice, skunks and other nasty stuff over the years. Repairing wires and pipes is dirty, dangerous and uncomfortable when crawling under the house. Therefore, crawl space excavation takes quite a lot of time though productive and the main advantage is that the job site is almost dust free when using the needed equipment. Additionally, other than jacking up the house or digging under the house with a Bobcat the vacuum excavation system is easier and safer. For safe job environments while working posts can be placed together as the crawl space excavation moves under the building.

Permits and Approvals:

As an established basement finishing contractor, we handle all aspects of permits and approvals required for the renovation. We ensure that all work complies with local building codes and regulations, providing you with peace of mind.

Preparation and Framing:

Next, we prepare the basement for renovation. This involves cleaning, waterproofing if necessary, and performing any needed repairs. Once the basement is ready, we frame the walls and install necessary infrastructure like plumbing and electrical systems.

Insulation and Drywall:

Proper insulation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your basement and for energy efficiency. After insulation, we install drywall, creating the walls and ceilings of your new rooms.

Finishing Touches:

This is where your basement truly begins to take shape. We install flooring, paint walls, put in fixtures, and complete any other finishing work based on the chosen design. This could include installing a kitchenette, setting up a home theater system, or customizing a workout area. Once all the work is complete, we conduct a thorough cleanup of the site and perform a final inspection.

TIMELINE

Design and Planning:

The initial phase involves consultation, design, and planning. The length of this phase can vary based on how quickly decisions are made regarding design elements and any necessary adjustments to the plan.

Permit Approval:

Depending on the extent of the work, some projects may require permits from local authorities. The time it takes to secure these permits can vary and is often beyond our control. However, we’ll handle this process on your behalf to ensure all work is compliant with local codes and regulations.

Construction Work:

This is the main phase of the project where the actual basement finishing happens. The duration of this phase can vary depending on the complexity of the work, the size of the basement, and the specific finishes chosen. On average, for an 800 sq. ft. basement, this phase may take around 6-8 weeks after underpinning is completed.

Inspections:

Throughout the construction process and upon completion, inspections may be required to ensure all work is up to code. The time required for these inspections can influence the overall timeline.

Unforeseen Challenges:

During construction, unforeseen issues may arise, such as hidden water damage or structural issues. While we strive to anticipate any potential issues during the planning phase, some challenges may only become apparent once construction begins. These could potentially extend the timeline.

Basement Renovation Cost in Toronto

In Toronto, the cost of a basement renovation typically ranges between $45 to $95 per square foot. For an average project, this translates to a total cost ranging from $20,000 to $70,000, depending on the size of your basement. The overall cost of a basement renovation can be influenced by factors such as the basement’s size, the level of finishes, plumbing or electrical upgrades, and additional features like bathrooms, custom storage, or entertainment areas.
