01
Basement Finishing in Vaughan
From an unfinished basement in a newer Vaughan home to a dated rec room that needs a full update, we plan the layout with you, take care of the City of Vaughan building permit and run every trade under one contract.
Family rooms, home offices, gyms, guest suites, wet bars and storage - built to the Ontario Building Code and inspected.

Basement Bathrooms
A bathroom is the most requested basement upgrade. The concrete floor is opened to tie into the drains, or a lift system is added where the drains are too high. New or moved plumbing fixtures need a building permit in Vaughan, which we handle.
- Walk-in showers
- Rough-ins
- Ventilation
- Tile and vanities
03
Second Units & Separate Entrances
Many Vaughan homeowners finish the basement as a second unit for family or rental income. The unit has to meet the Ontario Building Code and fire code - ceiling height, exits, fire separation, smoke alarms - and the City of Vaughan's rules, and it is built under a permit.
- Separate or side entrances
- Kitchen and bathroom
- Fire separation
- Permit drawings and inspections
