Toronto Basement Renovations

Is your basement a cold and dark space that has stood unused since you moved into your home? Have you ever considered using it to increase your living space? If that is indeed the case and you live anywhere in the Toronto, ON, area, Norseman Construction & Development is the basement renovation specialist you need.

INCREASE YOUR SQUARE FOOTAGE BY FINISHING YOUR BASEMENT

The size of a basement is generally about one-third of the entire home, which means that remodeling your basement will increase your living space by approximately 30%. If you live in a bungalow, your living space can even be doubled! That is a major reason why basement finishing is one of the prevalent renovation projects undertaken by today’s homeowners.

YOUR BASEMENT RENOVATION

The process will begin with an initial consultation with you, where we will learn your objectives for the end result, i.e., the prospective basement design and any other individual needs. Because it is an underground space that was not originally intended for regular use, there are several things to which we must pay special attention during the subsequent inspection, including:

  • Excessive moisture and resulting mold or mildew
  • Foundation and insulation issues
  • Limited lighting issues
  • Overhead ductwork and pipes
  • Existing HVAC system
  • Existing plumbing and electrical systems

Once we determine the logistics of the project, your home renovation experts will be ready to begin your basement remodel. Thoroughly waterproofing and insulating basement walls is the essential first step, in order to keep the room warm and prevent potential flooding that is so common after our snowy Canadian winters. Not only that but mold is a major allergen and should not be present in a room where you and your family spend lengthy amounts of time.
