Basement Renovation FAQ
Get answers to the most common questions about basement renovations.
Do you handle moisture issues in basements?
Yes, moisture control is our first priority. We assess and address all moisture concerns before beginning renovation work. This includes waterproofing, proper drainage, humidity control, and ventilation systems to ensure a dry, comfortable space.
What ceiling height do I need for basement renovation?
We typically recommend a minimum of 7 feet of ceiling height for comfortable living space. However, we can work with lower ceilings using creative design solutions like recessed lighting and strategic layout planning.
Can you add a bathroom to my basement?
Yes! We can install full or half bathrooms in basements. This includes proper drainage systems, sewage ejector pumps if needed, ventilation, and all plumbing and electrical work required by Montreal building codes.
How do you handle low basement ceilings?
For basements with limited ceiling height, we use techniques like recessed lighting, low-profile HVAC solutions, and strategic design to maximize the feeling of space while maintaining functionality.
What permits are required for basement renovation?
Basement renovations typically require electrical and plumbing permits. If we're adding bathrooms or making structural changes, additional permits may be needed. We handle all permit applications and inspections.
