Basements South of the 401, Kitchens Near King Street

A newer house often comes with a basement that's bare concrete, a sump pit and a lot of unused square footage. Finishing it is one of the more affordable ways to add room without building an addition. We frame the walls, hang and finish the drywall, put down flooring suited to a below-grade room and run the trim. Basement finishing typically starts around $20 to $40 per square foot, depending on the level of finish.

Builder bathrooms are usually plain: a basic vanity, often a one-piece tub surround, and a single light over the mirror. A bathroom renovation can stay cosmetic, with a new vanity, tile, fixtures and paint, and that kind of refresh usually takes 3 to 5 days. You keep using the rest of the house while we work.

Renovating an older village house means opening walls that may not have been touched in decades. That's where Pedro's years as a Home Inspector pay off. He reads what's behind the plaster as it comes down, and if something turns up that changes the plan, like old water damage or a joist someone notched years ago, you're told before the work goes any further. Kitchen updates with new counters, a backsplash and fixtures generally run $5,000 to $12,000.

Pedro handles bathroom remodels, kitchen refreshes and room renovations. For how he approaches home renovations in general, see our home remodeling & renovation page.
