Process

How a job runs in Hamilton

  1. Site visit and measure

    We measure every room we're touching and check the things that change a price: panel capacity, drain locations, moisture on the foundation, what's under the old floor.

  2. Written quote and design

    A line-item quote with a fixed price and HST on its own line.

  3. Build with a dedicated lead

    One project lead runs the job from demolition to final paint.

  4. Walkthrough and warranty

    We walk every room with you and write down anything that isn't right.

FAQ

Questions from Hamilton homeowners

Don't see yours? Call (647) 513-7955. Someone picks up any time, 24/7.

Yes, but the method depends on the wall. Most older Hamilton basements need exterior excavation and a membrane, or interior drainage to a sump, before finishing.

Underpinning lowers a basement floor by digging below the existing footings in sections and pouring new ones deeper. It is how you get usable ceiling height in an old basement.

Yes. Where the Ontario Building Code calls for a permit, we prepare the drawings, apply to the City of Hamilton and book the inspections.
