Why Renovate Your Basement?
Because it’s already yours. And with the right layout and finishes, it can become the most useful, comfortable, and welcoming space in the home.
When upstairs starts feeling tight, your basement becomes your secret weapon.
Need a quiet office? Done.
A space for the kids to burn energy? Easy.
A guest suite that doesn’t require giving up your own bedroom? We’ll make it feel like a five-star stay.
Finishing your basement gives you space to breathe, without moving or adding on.
You get more function. More comfort. More control over how your home works.
Let’s turn that blank space into your favourite place.
Most basements don’t feel like part of the home. They feel like a leftover.
Cold floors.
Harsh lights.
A place to toss boxes and shut the door.
That changes here.
We design basements that feel intentional. Warm, inviting, and designed around how you actually live. Whether that means a moody movie lounge, a rustic wine cellar, or a sleek gym with everything in reach, it starts with a vision that’s 100% yours.
And when it’s done right, you won’t just use the space, you’ll love it.
Your dream basement starts with a conversation, fill out our quick form below and get started today.
Guests notice the little things. The lighting. The layout. The way the room feels like it was made for them.
A finished basement is the perfect place to host without disrupting the rest of the home. Movie nights. Holiday visits. Game days that go past midnight. It’s the space where everyone gathers, but no one’s in the way.
Even better? It’s private. Quiet. Comfortable. And always ready.
Let’s build the space people talk about on the drive home.
Finishing your basement doesn’t just make your home nicer, it makes it more valuable.
You add real, livable square footage. You increase your resale appeal. You give future buyers something they don’t have to do themselves.
And when you build with care, that value holds for decades.
Some people spend years “planning” to finish their basement. The smart ones do it now, and enjoy it while they still live there.
Let’s make your investment count every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
if you still have questions after reading below, fill out our form and reach out to us. We’d love to help.
Why Finish Your Basement?
Finishing your basement provides a wide range of benefits. You’ll be able to enjoy more living area so your family can spread out. You’ll also gain energy efficiency as the fully finished walls will be properly insulated, vapour blocked, and finally closed in with drywall (or other material if the plan calls for it).
Beyond these very convincing reasons, you may also enjoy more storage space, and better air quality.
How Long Does a Basement Renovation Take?
It can be difficult to give a one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how long it takes to remodel a basement. It’ll depend on the size of the space, whether or not there are existing rough-ins, and insulation (often times there is) and other factors such as electrical, framing, and plumbing needs.
Generally the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. To be more certain of what is required for YOUR basement renovation, you should invite us to your home to provide an in-person consultation.
How Much Does it Cost to Finish a Basement?
Similar to the timeline question above, the ability to provide a meaningful answer to how much your basement renovation will cost will depend on the space to be worked on, the existing features that may help the process along, and the total scope of the project.
Where single rooms can be measured in thousands of dollars, complete basements will be measured in tens of thousands of dollars.
We will always provide an estimate for services before we commence and will keep you updated as the project progresses.
What if I Want a Secondary Suite?
A basement apartment is often referred to as a “basement suite” or “secondary suite” because it typically contains a bedroom, bathroom, and living area, all of which are contained within the basement of a larger house.
We can absolutely help you to turn your basement into a secondary suite during your renovation.
Please contact us to schedule a consultation to take a close look at your basement to determine the best plan for your remodeling job.
Is the 3D design phase included or billed separately. What happens if I don’t move forward?
Yes. Design, finish selections, and the fixed quotation are part of our Pre-Construction Agreement. If you decide not to build, you keep the drawings for a modest design fee.
What exactly locks the cost, and what could cause it to change?
After the scope and selections are approved, the contract total is locked. Only client-requested changes adjust the figure. A built-in contingency covers unforeseen site conditions, so hidden surcharges never appear.
Do you manage drawings, city permits, and inspections, or is that on me?
We do. Our team prepares drawings, submits applications, and meets inspectors on site.
You receive copies of every approval for your records.
Who will be in my home, and are they fully insured and certified?
Yes. Every craftsperson holds current Ontario credentials, full liability coverage, and WSIB Clearance.
Can we stay in the house during the work, and how disruptive will it be?
Often yes for bathrooms and basements. We install dust barriers, run negative-air filtration, and clean up daily. For whole-home remodels or structural work we recommend temporary accommodation; those dates are listed well in advance.
What protection do I have if something needs attention after you leave?
Two years on workmanship plus all manufacturer warranties. We provide a complimentary 30-day and a 6-month follow-up visit.
Do you work beyond Brantford, or only within city limits?
We serve Brant County, Paris, Ancaster, Kitchener, and West Hamilton. Projects beyond that radius are considered case by case.
How often will I get updates, and who is my point of contact day-to-day?
You have one project manager and an online dashboard that shows daily photos, milestone check-offs, and next-week plans. Expect a status call or email every Friday.
What insurance and licensing do you have?
HACHE carries $2 million in general liability insurance, WSIB coverage for all our teams, and every trade we hire is fully licensed and insured. This way your project is protected from start to finish.
