Basement Renovations

Expand your living space and get the basement you’ve always wanted.

Finishing your basement for the first time is just as exciting as renovating an old and outdated basement in need of a refresh. Much more than a single room of your home, your basement gives you ample square footage to design and create. The Home Improvement Group is a contractor serving Toronto and the GTA, whose experienced team takes your basement from initial planning to finished project.

Architecture and design

Our skillful architects, designers and renovation advisors in Toronto and the GTA meet with you to discuss, plan and collaborate. Giving ideas, presenting different options and helping you visualize the space in different ways, the Home Improvement Group team works with you to finalize the ideal plan. Complete 3D drawings and blueprints are provided to ensure the detailed scope of work is exactly as you want it before construction begins.

Legal basements and in-law suites

Are you living in a multigenerational home in the GTA and Toronto? Or maybe you’re interested in turning your unused basement into a legal unit you can rent out to raise your monthly income. From fire-rated drywall and doors, enlarged egress windows, critical safety features and a particular focus on functionality and space usage, we have years of experience designing and building beautiful basement units and in-law suites.

Walk-out and walk-up basements

Even though your basement isn’t a walkout right now, doesn’t mean we can’t convert it. Depending on the elevation of your property and the construction of your house, we can often reconfigure to build a walk-out, and if not, we dig down, pour concrete stairs and install an exterior door to build a walk-up basement entrance and exit.

Don’t forget the storage

Everyone needs storage. And when you finish or renovate your Toronto basement, it’s the perfect opportunity to use the extra space you have in clever ways. Think on-the-wall built-ins and under-the-stairs storage with inconspicuous push doors that give you a clean look as well as much-needed storage.

Games, theatres, media rooms and home gyms

Whether a finishing project or a remodel, your basement is yours to create! Think of your family’s needs, wants and interests to dictate key features of your renovation such as a home office, games area, surround sound cinematic theatre or media room, home gym, art studio or music space. With the right contractor, the possibilities are endless.
