Basement Finishing Services

Unfinished basements turned into clean, livable space

Basement finishing involves more trades than most homeowners expect. Framing, insulation, vapour barrier, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, doors, trim, and painting all need to be sequenced correctly so the finished basement is dry, warm, and built right.

We finish basements as full rec rooms, family rooms, basement bathrooms, in-law suites, home offices, and combinations of those, all on one project.

Framing and insulation

Walls framed plumb, insulated, and vapour-controlled for warm, dry basement spaces.

Drywall and flooring

Drywall hung, taped, and finished. Subflooring and finished flooring installed for daily use.

Electrical and lighting

Pot lights, outlets, switches, smoke detectors, and dedicated circuits planned to code.

Doors, trim, and paint

Interior doors, baseboards, casing, and paint completed for a fully finished basement.

Warm dry and beautifully finished
