How it works

Here your basement’s floor plan moves from a drawing on a piece of paper to something you can see and feel. This is how your basement starts to take shape.

Choose from several payment options to find the one that's most convenient for you. Choose from monthly and weekly plans.

Right before the drywall is installed and the walls are sealed is when the electrician will come and do the wiring and make sure you have all the outlets you need for the light fixtures and sockets.

Until now all your rooms were partitioned by a see-through frame. Installing the drywall turns the frame into functional walls, closing all the rooms in.

Taping seals the seams where drywall sheets join together, which ensures that there will not be weak points where cracks may form on the finished walls. But all the taping will have to be smoothed down to even the walls. That’s what the mudding process will do. Mudding involves applying a mud-like drywall compound that will fill all the screw holes and taping bumps to give the walls an even feel before the walls are painted.

Before installing the HVAC and the other utilities that use electrical power, we will need to make sure that the electrical wiring follows the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. The inspection is the responsibility of the Electrical Safety Authority. Right through the different stages you will be continually updated on the project’s progress and asked to provide feedback so we all proceed on the same page. And all being equal, we should be able to present your new basement on schedule, at which time we will also ask you for a full inspection.

What’s In It For Us?
