My basement apartment was flagged by the Town of Ajax, I need to have it legalized. Main concerns that were brought to my attention was fire rated drywall, fire rated doors, safe and sound insulation, hard wired smoke and carbon detectors.
Depending on the cost, we might re-do the bathroom and kitchen as well.
I recently moved into a home in Ajax where I want to convert the basement into a separate apartment for my parents (separate entrance, everything). The basement was finished by the last owner of the house but is not done up to code (i.e. the windows are not built as per the requirements of letting someone climb out, need to install kitchen - currently only rough-ins, etc.).
I have finished getting all the legal approvals / permits for this (approved drawings attached). This project involves interior work (obviously) and also making a separate entrance. It would be ideal if you could do both but we can explore breaking them up if necessary.
The basement is approximately ~800 sq. feet. I am the owner of the property and can make all decisions on a timely basis.
Please let me know if you have interest in doing this. I am happy to show you the basement in person sometime - and then ideally get a quote, some references of other basements you've done in Durham, and go from there. In terms of timing, I'd like to proceed sooner rather than later given that I don't want to construct the separate entrance in the middle of winter.
We already have our drawings and permits with the city of Ajax but we are interested in having the job completed.
If you contact me I can forward the drawings for a proper estimate. annie_lol33@hotmail.com
We own our property and would like to have a separate entrance installed for when family comes to visit as our home is open concept. Our basement is finished from the builder, our home is approximately 8 years old.
I have a fully finished basement w a shower, bathroom kitchen etc. Just looking to add an exterior entrance that connects to the top of basement stairs. Thus providing a seperate entrance, and at regular ground level. Need someone to cut doorway into side of house w necessary supports in place of course. Please only experienced individuals. Looking to start ASAP cash in hand ready to pay.
In the basement of a Bungalow, we are interested in either putting 1 or 2 extra bedrooms there.
The basement is completely finished with carpet and drop ceiling. 2 pillars with half wall basically separate the basement in 2 (visually). The main part of the basement is a tv/entertainment area of 18 x 30 which will stay as is.
On the other side of the pillar/wall is an area that is 24 x 10.5. This will either accommodate 1 12X10.5 or 2 12 x 10.5 rooms.
If we decide on 2 rooms this will require 1 long wall with 2 doors (24 feet long). 1 short wall between the 2 (10.5 feet long). Framing, drywall, tape and mud - we will paint. If we decide on one room than the long wall will be 12 feet long instead.
The area is fully carpeted - drop ceiling. 1 room will need a heater vent routed - the other already has one in the ceiling. Lights are in ceiling and 2-3 electrical outlets are already in the positions of each room. Each room also has a large window (not that that matters).
Would love to get a quotation on this.
