Premium Basement Renovation Services

Every home has different requirements. Our basement renovation projects are tailored to the property, the intended use of the space and the level of transformation required.

​

Custom Basement Renovations

Create a cohesive lower level designed around how you want to use your home. We plan renovations with attention to layout, finishes, lighting, comfort and the relationship between the basement and the rest of the property.

​

Legal Basement Apartments and Secondary Suites

Looking to create a separate living space? We undertake basement apartment and secondary-suite projects, with attention to applicable zoning, building code, permit and life-safety requirements. Each property must be assessed to determine feasibility and the approvals required.

​

Basement Underpinning and Lowering

When ceiling height or the existing foundation limits the potential of a basement, underpinning may be an option. These projects require careful assessment, appropriate engineering and applicable permits before structural work begins.

​

Basement Bathroom Renovations

Add a thoughtfully designed bathroom that complements the rest of your basement. Layout, plumbing requirements, ventilation, waterproofing and finish selection all need to be considered during planning.

​

Custom Entertainment and Living Spaces

Transform your lower level into a refined family lounge, media room, recreation space, guest area or another purpose-built environment that suits your household.

​

Integrated Finishes and Details

A premium renovation depends on how the entire space comes together. We consider the finish selections, lighting, transitions, storage and overall consistency of the design as part of the wider project.

​

Make More of the Space You Already Own

A well-planned basement renovation can give your household more room without changing the footprint of your home.

​

Depending on your goals, a basement transformation may provide:

• More functional living space: Create room for relaxation, entertainment, guests or family activities.

• A separate living arrangement: Explore the feasibility of a secondary suite where local requirements permit.

• Improved comfort: Address appropriate insulation, lighting, ventilation and moisture-related considerations as part of the renovation scope.

• A cohesive design: Select finishes and details that complement the rest of your home.

• A plan for the long term: Consider how your household may use the space in the years ahead.

​

The right approach starts with understanding your property's existing conditions and what you want the finished space to accomplish.

Basement Renovation Projects

Explore examples of basement transformations completed by Cedarwood Development Group. From carefully planned living spaces to more involved structural renovations, our project gallery showcases the details, materials and workmanship that shape each finished space.

Every project is different. The final design and scope depend on the property, the intended use and the requirements identified during planning.

​

Our Basement Renovation Process

A successful basement renovation begins with a clear understanding of the project. We work through the scope, requirements and important decisions before construction progresses.

​

1. Initial Consultation

Tell us about your property, your goals and the type of basement transformation you have in mind. We discuss the proposed scope, priorities and any known constraints.

​

2. Site Assessment and Planning

We assess the existing space and identify considerations that may affect the project, including layout, ceiling height, moisture, structural conditions and applicable permit requirements.

​

3. Scope, Estimate and Approvals

We establish the proposed scope and estimate. Where required, the project may involve drawings, engineering, permits or other approvals before construction begins.

​

4. Construction and Project Coordination

Once the scope and required approvals are in place, the work proceeds according to the agreed project plan. Relevant trades, materials and construction details are coordinated around the requirements of the renovation.

​

5. Final Walkthrough

At completion, we review the finished work with you and address any outstanding items in accordance with the agreed scope and applicable warranty terms.

​

Why Choose Cedarwood Development Group?

Basement Renovation FAQs
 

How much does a basement renovation cost in Toronto and the GTA?

The cost depends on the existing condition of the basement, the size and complexity of the project, the selected finishes, plumbing and electrical requirements, and whether structural work is needed. Underpinning and legal secondary-suite projects can involve additional design, engineering and approval requirements. The best starting point is an assessment of your specific project.

For more information, read our Basement Renovation Costs: What You Need to Know in Markham.
 

Do I need a permit for a basement renovation?

Some basement projects require building permits or other approvals, particularly when the work changes structural elements, creates a secondary suite or affects building systems. Requirements depend on the property and proposed work. Confirm the applicable requirements with the relevant municipality before construction begins.

Read our Basement Renovation Permit Guide for Markham.
 

Can you create a legal basement apartment?

Yes, we undertake legal basement apartment and secondary-suite projects. Feasibility depends on the property, zoning, building code, life-safety requirements and applicable approvals. The proposed project should be assessed before committing to a layout or construction scope.

Do you offer basement underpinning?

Yes. We undertake basement underpinning projects where the property and proposed scope are suitable. Underpinning is structural work that requires appropriate assessment, engineering and applicable approvals.
 

Can you renovate a basement bathroom as part of the project?

Yes. Basement bathrooms can be incorporated into a larger renovation. The design and feasibility depend on the plumbing layout, drainage, ventilation, waterproofing requirements and available space.
 

How long does a basement renovation take?

The timeline depends on the scope, existing conditions, material availability, trade coordination and any required drawings, engineering or permits. Structural projects and secondary suites may take longer to plan and complete than less complex renovations. We discuss scheduling based on the specific project rather than promising one timeline for every basement.
