A carpeted basement turned into a finished lower level with its own walkout.

Before: wall-to-wall carpet and one big empty room.
After: a rec room with space for a pool table, a kitchen with an island, a full bathroom with herringbone floor tile and a glass shower, and a walkout entrance down new concrete stairs.

The basement is now where the family entertains and spends time together.

The walkout stairs were formed and poured on site.

Legal Basement Apartment | 7 Must-Haves in Ontario

A finished basement and a legal basement apartment are not the same thing.

To rent it out legally, the unit needs a building permit, enough ceiling height, escape windows, fire separation, interconnected smoke alarms, a safe way out and ideally its own entrance.

Low basements often need underpinning or a lowered floor to reach the ceiling height. Plan for that before you budget the rest.

Miss one and it isn't a legal unit, no matter how good it looks.

Swipe for the numbers from the Province's second unit guide.

Grants, Rebates and Tax Credits | GTA Homeowners

Some of your renovation may already be paid for. Here are 6 programs GTA homeowners can use this fall.

Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program covers up to $7,700 for insulation and $100 per window or door with an energy assessment, and up to $7,500 for a cold-climate heat pump.

In Toronto, the HELP loan lends up to $125,000 for energy upgrades, paid back on your tax bill. The City also pays 80% of basement flood protection, up to $6,650.

Federal tax credits help with a unit for a parent or relative, and with accessibility work. Adding a rental suite? An insured refinance can go up to 90% of the finished value.

Amounts as of October 2026. Programs change, so check before you start work.

A home renovation project where we transformed the entryway and staircase.

Before: carpeted treads and a dark wood railing with turned spindles.
After: oak treads, black iron spindles and a curved oak handrail, new wood floors through the entry and a skylight over the upper landing.

The crew took the old railing out and set the new treads and spindles in piece by piece.

Choose Your Finishes Before Construction Starts

Windows, flooring, tile, cabinets. Make these decisions before construction starts.

When your selections are made early, your prices are firmer and you avoid change orders later.

Good contractors are usually booked ahead. With your permit in hand, you're ready when the crew is.

Would she hire 905 Reno again? "Yeah. For sure."

A renovation project in Scarborough. Our client talks about the result, the budget and how we handled her design ideas.

"The team was pretty transparent about what that would cost."

She shopped the price around and found it on par with the market.

We stand behind every space we build.

Want to break ground in April or May? Count back 2 to 6 months.

That puts the start of design somewhere between October and February. Start in October and you have room for revisions, the city's comments and the things that come up on almost every project.

Start in March and a spring project can turn into a summer or fall project.

Here's what happens on a home addition before a crew shows up.

Drawings: the first draft typically takes about 3 to 4 weeks. You review it and we make the changes before the next step.
Structural: the engineer designs the beams, footings and concrete walls. About another 2 to 3 weeks.
HVAC and plumbing design: about 2 to 3 weeks.
City review: typically 30 to 90 days. The city usually comes back with comments to address before the permit is issued.
