Let’s start
What makes our basement renovations stand out is that we don’t just finish a space, we build it so it’s the perfect place for you. Our team specializes in maximizing every inch of your basement, using smart layouts, custom storage, and functional design that fits your lifestyle. Whether it’s adding recessed lighting, upgrading flooring for home gyms or home theatres, or completely reworking the layout for a legal basement apartment, we bring the knowledge and experience to do it right.
Here are some of the benefits when you choose Element Home Solutions:
If you’re looking to future-proof your basement, then implementing smart technology should be a priority. You can control lights, temperature, and entertainment systems all through your voice or an app.
We integrate smart lighting, climate controls, and security features that turn your basement into a modern, functional space you’ll actually use.
A finished basement isn’t just storage, it’s extra living space that adds real value to your home.
Homeowners across Toronto, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Newmarket are investing in basements that serve as personal gyms, home offices, and even legal rental units. Done right, it’s one of the best ROI projects you can do.
We build basements that feel like they were there from the start, and not something added on afterwards.
From open layouts to high-end finishes like quartz countertops, floating shelves, and recessed lighting, we help you design a space that feels modern, spacious, and built to last.
When finishing a basement, owners often forget how it’s now an extension of their home and that it will cause some increase in energy bills.
That’s why we install LED lighting, recommend energy-efficient HVAC options, and use moisture-resistant materials that stand up to Toronto winters. The result? A dry, warm, energy-smart basement that won’t have a major increase in your energy bills.
Goodbye, harsh corners. Soft, flowing shapes are taking over basement design. Think curved archways, oval mirrors, and circular lighting that softens the entire space.
Basements can sometimes feel rigid and confined, but these design elements add movement and openness, turning your basement into a creative haven that feels alive and expansive.
The basement is almost everyone’s designated junk storage area, and that’s because they usually lack smart storage solutions.
We help you reclaim your space with custom cabinetry, hidden shelving, under-stair storage, and built-in benches that keep clutter out of sight and your basement usable.
In Toronto and the GTA, basements must meet several building code requirements, especially if you’re creating a legal rental unit. Some of those requirements are:
We make sure all our basement builds meet code and pass final inspections without issue.
On average, a full basement renovation takes 4-8 weeks, depending on scope. Smaller cosmetic updates (paint, flooring, trim) may only take 1-2 weeks, while larger jobs involving plumbing, electrical, or layout changes take longer. Working with a full-service team helps keep timelines tight and avoids scheduling conflicts between trades.
A proper basement renovation follows a specific order to avoid costly mistakes:
Skipping steps can lead to delays or extra work, especially when dealing with building inspectors.
Basements are prone to moisture, so choose materials that won’t warp or mold.
Some top options include:
We always recommend avoiding carpet unless it’s over a sealed subfloor and in a fully dry area.
Yes, if it meets Toronto or the surrounding municipalities requirements for a legal basement apartment. Here are some of the requirements needed:
We specialize in legal basement apartment builds and handle everything from permits to final inspection, so you can rent with confidence, and stay compliant.
Typically, mechanical work, like plumbing, electrical upgrades, and HVAC integration, makes up the largest cost. Luckily we have in-house contractors that are licensed and can handle all of that, so there’s less complications and lower costs for you.
