Just wondering, how much it would cost to dig and create entrance with stairs to a basement from outside? I want to open up my basement so I can rent it out. I guess I will require a permit as well. Has anyone done it recently in Mississauga and can provide some general quote with pictures?

You should be budgeting around $ 20 to $ 25 thousand. Do NOT go for the cheapest quote here. this is serious work.. disturbing your homes footings - City will be tough on inspections and engineering. We do this work and can tell you that its for pros only - no weekend warriors.

Layout, formwork & pour Stairs and, Parging and waterproofing exterior of the new block foundation, Install new weeping tile and connect it with existing, Back filling remaining dirt, Connecting exterior drain with internal storm drain, Guards and light fixture Installation.

Is not an easy job as most people think?
