A basement can add serious space to a home, but most go underused — dark, damp, or simply never finished.
Finishing a basement in Ottawa starts below the drywall. We deal with moisture first — grading, weeping tile, sump and interior waterproofing where needed — then insulate to current Ontario Building Code with a proper vapour strategy so the space stays warm and dry through an Ottawa winter.
From there it's framing and rough-ins, inspections, then drywall, flooring and trim. If you're adding a legal secondary suite, we handle egress windows, fire separation, ceiling height and the City of Ottawa permit process so the unit is rentable and insurable.
A basement renovation can mean a suite for a growing family, an apartment for extra income, a media room, a play area, or a laundry that finally works. Let's take yours from dark and damp to a designer's dream.
- Moisture and insulation done right
- Legal secondary suites
- Egress windows and permits
