Updating Old Bathrooms and Basements in Campbellford

Renovating an older house means planning for what's behind the walls. In a historic property, opening up a bathroom wall can turn up framing that was cut for old plumbing or water damage from a leak nobody knew about. We leave room in the plan for that, and if something changes the scope, we stop and talk it through with you before going further, so a surprise doesn't become a surprise bill.

A bathroom renovation in Ontario typically lands between $5,000 and $15,000, and scope decides where. Tile and heavy fixtures need a stiff floor, and in an older house we check for bounce before you settle on them. If you want to keep original trim or doors in a historic house, they can often come off carefully and go back up once the new work is done.

Finishing a basement in a riverside or low-lying home needs one extra step first. Damp is more common on those lots, and drywall over a damp foundation wall tends to grow mold. We look for signs of water before anything gets framed, and if there's a problem, it gets sorted out first. Budget roughly $20 to $40 per square foot to finish a basement, depending on how high-end you go.
