A basement could be a lot of things for you. A work space, a play area for kids or adults (what other space works better than it for a pool table or dartboard?), an extra spot to put a TV and a couch, a suite to rent out. A basement can also have a lot of problems going on with it. If you are in an older house in particular, you might have some mildew or structural problems that you don’t even know about. So if you are looking for a Victoria BC basement renovations contractor, you need someone who has the experience needed to make your basement look liveable as well as to take it up to current structural standards. Someday you will want to sell your house and getting all the work done now to give it the highest value possible will save you time later. At the same time, you want a contractor that is pleasant to be around and will be honest with what they can do, how long it will take, and how much it will cost.
With all of that in mind, we recommend Toolbox Renovations for your basement renovations. They have been in business since 2005 and the man who started it, Steve Burgess, has been a certified journeyman carpenter for 20 years. He has solid experience in getting the renovations done, the knowledge on relevant municipality laws that you need to know, strong alliances with plumbers and electricians, and a commitment to communicating with you about the process.
His process with basement renovations is to speak with you and the electricians and plumbers that he works with all together before the actual work gets started. This makes it so everyone is on the same page. When your renovations are being completed, you need a plan in place to keep the temperature controlled down there as well as to have other practical elements taken care of. Instead of rushing to get a job done, the team takes into account everything that will be affected by the renovations, before they start the work. This is why we think Toolbox Renovations is worth your consideration for your basement renovations.
