About us
About Basement Renovation Ottawa
An Ottawa basement team that publishes its prices, verifies credentials before work begins, and pulls every required permit. Here’s who we are and how we work.
Our story
Why we built a basement company around permits and published prices
Brand story
The story behind Basement Renovation Ottawa
We started this company because basement renovation in Ottawa was harder than it needed to be. Homeowners would call five contractors, get five versions of “it depends,” and not one straight price. The good work was hard to tell from the risky work, and too many basements were finished off the books, cheap up front, expensive at resale or after a flood.
So we built the opposite. We publish our price ranges, give an itemized quote before you commit, and pull every required permit on every job. We do the full range of basement work, finishing, legal suites, in-law suites, waterproofing and flood rebuilds, so whatever your basement needs to become, one accountable team can take it there.
What we stand for
Our standards, and why they matter to you
Our standards aren’t marketing, they’re the things that protect you. Permits keep your basement safe, insurable, and worth full value at resale. Published prices mean you’re never trapped in a “call for quote” runaround. Doing the full path, from emergency flood response through to a finished, code-correct rebuild, means no one gets handed off halfway. And every job carries a written workmanship warranty.
Permits, always

Who we work with
The Ottawa homeowners we serve
We work with owners turning a basement into legal rental income, families building a safe, dignified suite for an aging parent, households that just need a finished family floor without sticker-shock surprises, and homeowners recovering from a flood who need it dried, rebuilt, and prevented for good.
Different goals, same promise: a straight answer, a real price, and work done to code, across Kanata, Barrhaven, Orléans, Nepean, Gloucester, Stittsville, Manotick, and the rest of Ottawa.
