Burlington basements
- Aldershot, Roseland and the core: post-war and mid-century foundations where dampness and height are assessed first.
- Headon Forest, Millcroft, Orchard, Palmer: 1980s–2000s homes with dated partial finishes worth taking back to the concrete.
- Alton Village: newer homes with good height, ideal for a rec room, guest suite and bathroom.
Thinking about a rental unit?
Ontario allows additional residential units on most residential lots, but a basement apartment must meet code for fire separation, egress, ceiling height and more, and needs its own permit review through the City of Burlington. We'll tell you at the first visit whether your basement is a candidate.
Common Burlington add-ons
- Bathroom using an existing rough-in
- Bedroom with a code-compliant egress window
- Home office with sound insulation in the ceiling
- Drop ceiling over the mechanical zone
Common questions
Do you work across Burlington?
Yes, from Aldershot to the Oakville border and north to Alton Village.
Spray foam or poly on basement walls?
Spray foam directly on the concrete. Poly stapled against a foundation traps moisture and invites mould.
