Completed project · Waterloo · Spring 2024

Rebuilding around a more open layout.

For this Waterloo basement, the work began with removal of the old framing and insulation. The floor was opened for new plumbing, and a structural post was relocated to open up the area.

The scope brought together new framing and insulation, plumbing and electrical work, soundproofing, cabinetry and a sauna installation. Live-edge wood counters and shelves, network cabling, stairs, doors, trim, drywall and painting completed the wider renovation.

Planning your project

Basement renovation questions.

Can you rework a basement that is already finished?

Yes. The Waterloo project above involved removing existing framing and insulation and rebuilding the space around a more open layout. Share photos of your basement and explain what is no longer working for you.

What affects the scope and price?

The size of the space, demolition, layout changes, plumbing, electrical work and finish selections all affect the proposal. Include your priorities and any plans when you contact us; a walkthrough helps establish the written scope.

What should I send to get started?

Send your city, photographs of the current basement, the rooms or features you want, and your preferred timing. Mention any known moisture issues, access limitations or plans for a separate dwelling so they can be considered early.
