Remodeling or renovating your basement is one of the best ways to efficiently use all of the square footage your home has to offer. Most Toronto basement renovations are used to create kids play rooms, guest rooms, game room/ bar areas and in a lot of cases the space is used as a place in the home where the family can retire to and relax after a long day of activities. If you have an unfinished basement in your home, you have a great opportunity to add value to your home in the form of added living space.
Probably the greatest benefit of renovating or remodeling a basement is the fact that it’s a great way to add living space to your home at a fraction of the cost of actually adding more square footage to your house. Adding another room to your home will require building permits and structural work while renovating a basement will not require any structural work whatsoever and no building permits in most cases. Any way you look at it, remodeling a basement is just a great way to reclaim space in your existing home that you’re not currently using.
Toronto Basement Renovations - What to Expect
Some of the biggest reasons a lot of homeowners opt to renovate their Toronto basements is because basement renovations are typically affordable when compared to room additions. And if you’ve ever had to endure a home remodeling project than you’re probably already aware that they seemingly take forever. A large reason Toronto basement renovations have become so popular is because they take a fraction of the time when compared to most other home remodeling projects. But the biggest reason? Basement renovations have become the most rewarding home renovation project for many homeowners because they essentially get to pick and choose how they get to utilize the additional space. And let’s face it... when you’re adding a home theater, a game room or an entertainment area, it’s easy to see why basement renovations have become so popular.
Before tackling a basement renovation in Toronto, there are several considerations a homeowner and potential basement contractor must consider prior to proceeding. For example the basement should be checked for possible water leakage, a potential moisture problem, mildew buildup, mold, a cracked foundation, damaged joists and adequate head room. If you’ve already had your basement inspected and you’ve been given the stamp of approval than you can forego all of this but since most basements aren’t designed to be living spaces, it’s important to make sure that a basement is up to code prior to making any renovating or remodeling plans.
Perhaps the biggest concern when it comes to Toronto basement renovations is the threat of excessive moisture in the basement. Excessive moisture in a basement can lead to mildew and possibly mold. Mold can have some pretty serious health complications so if you have a moisture concern when it comes to your basement, it’s best to have it checked by a professional. A simple test that you can conduct to check to see if you might have a moisture problem is to take a plastic trash bag, lay it on your bare concrete basement floor and seal around all the edges by applying strong tape. Leave the trash bag on your floor for a couple of days and after a couple of days go ahead and peel it off of your basement floor. If you see any condensation or moisture underneath the trash bag when you remove it, you have moisture getting into your basement.
