Basement Renovation in Etobicoke
Turn a damp cellar into the best room in the house — legally and dryly.
The Etobicoke reality
Basement Renovations built for century-old Etobicoke homes
Most Etobicoke basements were never meant to be lived in. Rubble foundations in Long Branch, six-foot ceilings in The Kingsway, clay soil that pushes water through cold joints every spring thaw — these are the conditions we work in every week.
We handle the unglamorous engineering first (waterproofing, drainage, underpinning or bench footings for headroom) and then build a basement that feels like part of the house rather than a storage room with drywall.
