The square footage is approximately 700 to 1000. My goal is to have a two bedroom with bathroom and kitchen and to have a separate entrance to the basement installed. based on the cost will consider having large windows installed. The basement is currently unfinished and the house is 9 years old. however it is was a sales centre converted to a new home so it is currently covered under the new home warrant as a new home 1 year old.
My goal is to have this job begin in approximately July and finished for September.
Material for flooring would be laminate and ceramic tiles. and a finished ceiling with quote for pot lights or regular light fixtures.
Would like someone with experience in developing basements in the Oshawa area and who is familiar with the by-laws.
We recently had a rental property inspected with a view to having it registered with the City of Oshawa as a legal 2-unit house. The Fire Department and City of Oshawa provided us with a list of requirements, the most onerous being that the basement bedrooms need to be 6'5" in height for all egress routes. Currently, they are between 5'11" and 6'3" and the main support beam (wooden, not steel) runs through the middle of the basement at 6'2" at front of the two bedrooms. There is also ductwork running through the middle of both bedrooms that would need to be rerouted along the edges of the house and bedroom walls. We would like to know whether it is possible to make the apartment comply with the City's requirements and, if so, what the cost would be to make it happen.
We have a basement apartment that requires some renovations.
- There is a side entrance with stairs and a walk out patio door (needs to be replaced since it is old!).
- The basement is finished (bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living area, office) but the layout is not ideal.
- We need a shared laundry room which will affect the current kitchen (currently they are a combined space in the basement).
- We need help figuring out a design that will effectively serve the needs of a basement apartment and shared laundry.
- We need to potentially add a window to the bedroom (above grade)
- We would like to keep costs as low a possible and are willing to do some of the work ourselves and to be somewhat flexible with our timeline.
- If you have other questions about the project, feel free to contact me and I can hopefully answer your questions to help develop a more accurate quote.
Thanks.

Need 1 window in the bedroom. Separate hydro meter. Need to be zoned for apartment. Need to do inspection permits. approx 850 to 500 sq ft. Will take measurements before consult.
I would like somebody to come an give me a quote for putting up a single beam across my basement.

We are looking to get our basement finished. Approximately 620 square feet. Would be two rooms. A smaller toy room and the rest open. Requires 3 doors installed. Possibly a gas fireplace installed directly below where the gas fireplace is on the main level. Thinking drop ceiling where possible and pot lights throughout.
We are looking to have the drywalling in our basement completed, including levelling of the floor, painting and carpeting of the floor and staircase the leads upstairs. The previous owner started drywalling but there is still more to be done before the basement is usable. He made a decent start and we're looking for someone to finish the job for us.

Was posted before but the posting was premature. Now ready to realistically move forward. Looking for a reputable and efficient specialist to finish my basement. The job will include full 3 piece bathroom (not roughed in - so concrete work required), entertainment room including bar, additional multipurpose room. Framing is about 85-90% complete but some key areas would need to be added to.
Currently meeting with contractors for details, quotes and budget sits more realistically in the $20,000-$30,000 range.
I am looking for someone to finish my small basement. My basement is 626 sq ft and the insulation is in a good state so does not need to be replaced. The house is 3 years old. I want a laundry area in the basement with a counter and a few cabinets. Storage should be created around the staircase and the furnace. I want laminate floors that are long lasting. A bathroom is not needed.
Wanting to finish the basement in our new house - built in 2006. It's an L-shaped space approx. 32' by 24'. Looking to frame the walls and drywall them, carpet the floors and dropdown the ceiling with panneling to hide ducts and electrical, etc. Most of the area will be open minus one small utility/storage room that will have a wash tub and the furnace in it. Also want to close in and carpet the stairs and put in a small closet under the stairs. One of the walls has the electrical panel on it so we'd like to conceal it somehow. Want to use simple pot lighting and insulation on most walls is not needed as it's a townhouse. Simple and straighforward really - just want to make the space usuable. Would love to have a ballpark estimate as this is our first project in the house.

I have recently moved into a 30 year old home in the West Lynde area of Whitby. The basement has been somewhat finished but not to my liking. The old owners put up some walls, slapped on some paint and called it done. Three of the walls are outside walls with paint applied directly over the concrete walls - very cold! The space is approximately 13 X 24, with some work needed on the stairs and hall outside the main room.
My three kids are looking for a space to entertain friends. The wish list includes a spot to play a game of mini sticks, a dance floor to perfect a tap dance routine (with a dance bar and mirror wall) and a relaxing corner to watch a movie or play the Wii.
My husband and I are looking to renovate a completely unfinished basement. It would need framing, insulating, drywall and some electrical. It is approx 180-200 sq ft. It is a new home..1-2 years old..never been lived in(in a new townhouse complex)
Easy access to the basement through the backyard(there is a sliding door on ground level right into the room)
We have no preferred materials at this point(would need to discuss some options with the contractor) We would however like carpeting, not wood or laminate flooring
Thank you for your time
