What’s the difference between basement finishing and basement renovation?

Basement finishing typically means turning an unfinished basement into livable space. Basement renovation usually means updating or reworking an already-finished basement (layout, finishes, lighting, functionality).

Can you help make my basement legal and code-compliant?

Yes. We build basements to be safe and functional and handle key elements like insulation, framing, and code compliance considerations.

What can I use my finished basement for?

Common uses include a family room, home theatre, home office, guest room, gym, or an income suite-style space depending on your home and requirements.

How long does basement finishing take?

Timelines vary based on size, layout complexity, and any existing issues. We’ll provide a clear plan and keep communication steady.

Do you offer free estimates for basement renovations and finishing?

Yes. We provide clear estimates so you understand the scope and cost before work begins.

Painting & Drywall Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match my paint colour?

Often, yes—especially if you have the original paint can/colour code. If not, we can discuss best options (colour matching is sometimes approximate depending on age/sun fade).

Do you repair ceilings too?

Yes—depending on height/access and the type of repair needed.

Do you do small jobs?

Absolutely. Big or small we do it all! Drywall patching and paint touch-ups are perfect handyman projects.

How long will it take?

Many small repairs can be completed in one visit. Some repairs require drying time between steps (compound/primer/paint), so we’ll set expectations upfront.
