Frequently Asked Questions About Basement Renovations
Yes! Consider that, unlike other home additions, an unfinished basement already has walls, ceilings, and floors before you even begin to renovate, saving you money on your project. Basement renovations also offer unique opportunities to improve your quality of life, and the project offers an impressive return on investment of around 79%.
The project typically costs between $7 and $50 per square foot, so you could expect to spend between $7,000 and $50,000 to finish a 1,000-square-foot basement. If drywall and concrete floors are already installed, anticipate lower costs. If you install luxury fixtures and finishes, the price tag will land on the higher end of the spectrum. Don’t forget to factor in furniture and decor as well.
Yes. In fact, adding an extra bedroom or apartment suite in the basement is a popular trend in 2022. The bedroom must include a code-compliant egress window. This means the window must be large enough (at least 24 inches tall with a 5.7-square-foot opening) and low enough (no more than 44 inches above the finished floor) to escape through in an emergency.

The sub-contractors showed up when expected and completed their work in a professional manner.

We would definitely recommend Surfside Builders Group for any home renovations you are considering.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Knowledge & ExpertiseSimply outstanding. We've had 5 separate contractors work on our antique Victorian home over the last 15 years, all engaged to implement modern, state-of-the-art, minimalist/contemporary design directions within our 1896 exterior. Without question --and by a large margin --Simon and his colleagues at Surfside Builders Group remain the hands-down winners in every respect. We would be hard-pressed to put our admiration of and appreciation for Simon and Surfside Builders Group into words: they delivered superlative work under or within spitting distance of our budget; there were no surprises on budget or timing; their communication is excellent; their trades are highest quality in performance.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: PassionFrom the outset, and throughout the project, Surfside Builders Group staff were a pleasure to work with. They provided a package for our condominium corporation containing all necessary documents required -corporation application form, electrical and plumbing company licenses, insurance details, etc. The contractors were experts in their trade, respected our property and a pleasure to have in our home, since we lived there throughout the renovation. The results were everything we hoped for. The highlight of the project was working with Simon, a true expert, whose professionalism, and attention to detail ensured that the result was beyond our expectations We would not hesitate to recommend Surfside Builders Group to anyone.
