Basement Renovations FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions and what you should consider when renovating your basement.

What Elements Should You Include In a Basement Renovation?

When deciding to renovate your basement its important to take in to account what you want to use it for. With that in mind here is a small list to consider:

Sub-Floors
Framing
Drywall
Flooring (tiles, hardwood, carpet)
Under-floor heating
Electrical & Lighting
AV Hook-ups/Home theatres (surround sound, built-in speakers)
Plumbing for Bathrooms, Laundry & Granny Flat
Kitchens
Plaster & Painting
Custom Built-ins storage Solutions

Do I need a permit to do a basement renovation?

Usually not, but a major reconstruction, such as a complete remodel or the removal of support walls, may require one.

What needs to be inspected before starting a basement renovation?

That depends on if a permit is required. There could be insulation, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC or engineering required for such things as beams or posts or putting in a bathroom.

Should we use wood studs or metal studs?

That is a preference of the contractor or yourself. We prefer wood studs especially in a damp area such as a basement

Do I need an Egress Window?

If it is a legal apartment where you need a permits and drawings, then egress window is required. To just renovate the basement for your own use they are not needed.

What kind of flooring is safe to put in my basement?

Are you adding a subfloor? If you are then you could put anything you would normally install on the main level. If you are just putting it on the concrete then a vinyl plank floor is probably your best bet, because it is water and mould proof, but tile is also an option.
