Basement renovation questions
How long does a basement renovation take?
Timing depends on size, complexity, permit requirements, trade scheduling and product availability. A realistic schedule is prepared after the scope is confirmed.
Can you finish only part of a basement?
Yes. Framing-only, drywall-only and defined finishing packages can be priced separately.
Can the basement include a legal secondary suite?
Potentially. Property, zoning, fire separation, egress, ceiling height, plumbing and inspection requirements must first be reviewed.
