Bathroom you never
want to leave.

Every Toronto basement is different — ceiling height, moisture conditions, and whether you're adding a bathroom or a legal second suite all move the number. What drives it most: waterproofing, egress and permit scope, and your finish level. We don't guess over the phone. We come out, measure, look at your conditions, and put a written fixed-price quote in front of you after a free walkthrough.

It depends on the room — a powder-room refresh and a full spa-level master ensuite are very different projects. Tile selection drives cost more than almost anything else, followed by whether the plumbing or layout moves. We show you stunning options at every level on the free walkthrough, then put a written fixed-price number in front of you. No pressure.

A full legal suite — kitchen, bath, bedroom, laundry, separate entrance — is a bigger project than a simple finished basement, mostly because of egress, fire separation, permit drawings, and the electrical panel. We scope all of that on the walkthrough and give you one written fixed-price number that covers the work end to end.

A straight rebuild with oak treads and a full custom feature stair with glass or cable railing sit at very different points. Material, railing style, and whether the opening changes all drive the number. One crew handles permit, carpentry, and finishing — and you get one written fixed price before we start.

Always. We quote the scope, lock the price in writing before day one, and hold it. Any added scope triggers a written change order with cost before extra work starts. No surprise invoices. Ever. Compare this to T&M contractors who bill whatever the hours say.

10% deposit at signing, 30% at permit approval, 30% at framing/rough-in complete, 20% at drywall/tile, 10% at final sign-off. Industry rule: never pay more than 10% upfront to any contractor. If they ask for 50% before starting — walk away.

100% free — we come to your home, measure, assess the conditions, and walk you through scope and what drives the cost. No pressure, no obligation. Most homeowners say the free walkthrough taught them more than hours of online research.

Some renovations qualify. The Home Accessibility Tax Credit (HATC) covers eligible accessibility work, and the Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit (MHRTC) applies to in-law suites built for a family member. The limits and rates are set by the CRA and change year to year — check the CRA site or your accountant. We itemize our quotes so eligible and non-eligible work is easy to separate at tax time.

We handle everything — BCIN-stamped drawings, permit application, all City of Toronto inspections (framing, plumbing, electrical, insulation, final). You get the permit number and occupancy confirmation. You never talk to the city once.

Two clocks run here: the city's permit review, then the build itself. Permit timing is largely out of our hands — it depends on the City of Toronto's queue and how clean the application is (ours are clean). Once the permit is in hand, the build runs on a schedule we hand you in writing before we start — not a verbal estimate.

On the build side a full gut-and-rebuild is one of our quicker projects. If plumbing or electrical changes, a permit is required and that adds time up front. We pre-order every material before demo day, so the job doesn't stall waiting on tile sitting in a warehouse somewhere. You get a written schedule before we start.

For basement renovations — yes, comfortably. For bathroom renos we seal off the work area daily and ensure at least one working bathroom always. For full kitchen demolitions we set up a temporary kitchen. We've completed 200+ projects without displacing a single family.

Floor protection on all traffic routes, zip-wall dust barriers, daily cleanup, and a dedicated site contact who answers texts. Clean and locked at the end of every day. We treat your home like a job site — which means organised, not like a mess.

The same in-house crew, start to finish — framing, tile, carpentry, finishing. Licensed electrical and plumbing trades we work with on every project. Same faces every day, one number to call if anything comes up.

We issue a written change order with scope and cost before any change work starts. You approve in writing. Nothing gets built that you haven't authorized and priced. Changes happen — we've built a process to make them painless, not confrontational.

10-year structural warranty on all framing and structural work. 2-year materials and workmanship warranty on everything else — tile, fixtures, cabinetry, millwork. If anything moves, cracks, or fails in that window, we come back and fix it. No charge, no argument, no three-month wait.

Yes — interior renovations run every month. Exterior work (facades, additions) slows December–March but we carry projects through with smart sequencing: interior rough-in in winter, exterior finishing when weather breaks. No forced start dates that push your project into a bad season.

Yes — our most-built project type. We handle full OBC compliance: egress window (min. 0.35 m²), fire separation (STC 50 assembly), interconnected smoke/CO alarms, ESA wiring, separate entrance excavation, and City of Toronto secondary suite registration. Done right, a legal suite adds real rental value and stands up to insurer and city scrutiny.

WSIB clearance — look us up at wsib.ca in 30 seconds. $2M general liability certificate — emailed before you sign. BCIN-certified designer on staff. RenoMark member. We welcome every verification request — it's a green flag that you're doing this right.

A legal suite has city-registered status: OBC-compliant fire separation, egress windows, ESA-certified wiring, proper ventilation, permit on record. An illegal unit has none of this — and your insurer can deny a claim in a fire. Legal suites command higher rents and add more appraised value to your home.

All of Toronto (Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, East End, West End, downtown), Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Ajax, Pickering, and Whitby. Free walkthroughs anywhere in the GTA — no travel surcharge, ever.

Yes. Our in-house architect and engineer prepare your floor plans, the full permit set, and structural drawings — then we file with the City of Toronto and book every inspection. You deal with one team, not a chain of outside firms, and there's no extra charge for the permit work.

BCIN (Building Code Identification Number) is the provincial licence required to stamp drawings for permit applications. Without BCIN-stamped drawings, the city rejects your permit. Many firms outsource this and mark it up. We have a BCIN designer on staff — included in your project price, not billed separately.

Yes. We work with adjusters — scope documentation, line-item cost breakdowns, photos for claims. Common: water-damage basement rebuild, fire-damage repair, mould remediation and rebuild. Call us and we'll arrange an on-site assessment and document everything your adjuster needs.

The terms overlap. In Toronto, an ADU covers basement suites, garden/laneway suites, and above-garage units. "In-law suite" typically means a basement conversion. We build basement ADUs and can assess garden suite feasibility — City of Toronto now permits both as-of-right on most residential lots.

Once the city issues final inspection and occupancy confirmation — yes. We register the suite with the City of Toronto as part of our permit package. Advertising before occupancy confirmation is premature. We advise waiting for the official close-out, which we handle and deliver to you.

One in-house crew, start to finish. Fixed-price contract — locked before we start. 10-year structural warranty. WSIB-cleared, $2M insured, BCIN-licensed. The owner answers directly, 8 AM–11 PM, 7 days. 215+ GTA projects. Zero liens filed. Compare us, check our references, then decide.
