Frequently Asked Questions β€” Basement Renovation in Oshawa

What makes a basement apartment legal in Ontario?β€Ί
Ontario's Additional Residential Units rules require permits, fire-code separation, egress windows, minimum ceiling height and zoning compliance. We guide you through every requirement and manage the permit process.
How much does a legal basement apartment cost?β€Ί
Cost depends on the existing basement, whether underpinning is needed, finishes selected and permit fees. We give you an itemized written quote after the free assessment β€” most legal suites in the GTA pay for themselves within 3–5 years in rental income.
What is underpinning and do I need it?β€Ί
If your basement ceiling is under 7 feet, underpinning creates usable, comfortable living space and meets code minimums for a legal suite. It's a significant but often worthwhile investment. We assess and quote during the free visit.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement?β€Ί
Yes. Framing, electrical, plumbing and egress windows need building permits in Ontario. We apply for every required permit and manage all city inspections so your work is properly documented.
How long does a basement renovation take?β€Ί
Basement finishing: 4–8 weeks. Legal suite with underpinning: 3–6 months. Permit approval adds 2–6 weeks depending on the city. We give you a realistic schedule and update you at every stage.
How quickly can you get to my home?β€Ί
Same-day availability is our goal. Emergencies get immediate priority dispatch; for non-urgent work we typically book within 24 hours.
Is there a service-call or inspection fee?β€Ί
No service-call fee. Our technician visits, assesses the problem and gives you an upfront price at no cost. Work starts only once you approve.
