Small basement jobs

The jobs nobody returns calls for

One crack that needs sealing. A few pot lights. One room of flooring. A sump pump that should have been swapped last spring. Most contractors won't come out for them โ€” we built this platform so they get done. Pick your job below, or describe it yourself.


Got a list? Even better โ€” tell us everything in one request and we'll quote the visit, not each item separately.

Common questions

Is one small basement job really worth requesting?
It is โ€” small jobs are the whole point of this page. That said, most people find that once one crack gets sealed, three more items come to mind: a stained ceiling tile, a sticking door, a dead outlet. Batching a few small jobs into one visit is the cheapest way to clear the list.
How do you price small jobs?
By what's actually involved: the work itself, materials, and how long it takes. Describe the job and add a photo, and the quote reflects your job โ€” not a call-out menu with padding built in.
What if my small job needs a licensed trade?
Some do โ€” even adding a couple of pot lights must be done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor in Ontario, and plumbing beyond a basic fixture swap needs a licensed plumber. We route those jobs accordingly, so you don't have to figure out the rules yourself.
Can a renter request a fix?
You can request a quote, though for anything beyond minor work the property owner or manager usually needs to approve it. Many of our requests actually come from landlords keeping basement suites in shape.
