Basement renovations in North York

North York grew up in the decades after the war, and it shows in the best way: wide lots, solid brick bungalows and ranch-style homes that were built to last — most of them sitting over full-depth basements that were left unfinished or panelled once, decades ago, and never touched again.

A lot of North York basement work is about bringing a well-built older home up to how people live now — properly finishing a lower level that's done fifty years as storage, adding a bathroom down there, or converting it into a legal second suite near the Yonge Street subway corridor. Whatever stage your basement is at, describe the job and get a free quote.

• Post-war bungalows on generous lots dominate many streets, and their separate side entrances make basement second suites a natural fit.
• Homes from the 1950s and 60s often still have original galvanized plumbing or 60-amp-era electrical that gets updated during a basement renovation.
• Basement apartments are a long-established part of the housing stock here.
