Basement renovation & repair services in Hamilton

Hamilton is a brick city. The lower city and much of the Mountain are full of century homes and solid post-war housing where foundations, masonry and moisture are everyday concerns, while Ancaster, Waterdown and Stoney Creek add newer suburban stock with big, unfinished lower levels. Few Ontario cities reward good below-grade work more than this one.

A lot of Hamilton buyers in recent years took on older homes knowing they'd renovate — and the basement is usually where the real gains are, from waterproofing a stone foundation in the lower city to building a legal second suite under a Mountain bungalow. Whatever's under your house, from a chronic damp problem to a full conversion, request a free quote.

• Century brick homes in the lower city commonly need foundation repair, parging and drainage work before a basement can be finished.
• Older housing means older services — knob-and-tube wiring and galvanized or clay plumbing still turn up in basement renovations.
• Post-war Mountain bungalows with side entrances are strong candidates for basement second suites.
