Does a finished basement add value to my home?

You bet it does! Depending on the extent of the renovation, the value of your home can increase if you plan to sell in the future. Oftentimes homeowners will create a separate living space that can be rented out to family members or tenants for extra income! Any renovation at all adds to the home’s appeal and saves the prospective new buyer from having to handle the renovation themselves.

Can EPI install a bathroom in my basement?

Bathroom installations are one of our specialties! We handle all of the plumbing and installation ourselves, so we can keep the bigger picture in mind when completing the whole renovation. If you want to add a bathroom to your basement, let us know and during our initial consultation and we’ll add it to the floorplan.

What flooring type is best used for basements?

Basements have different needs than other parts of the home. We typically recommend vinyl plank, engineered hardwood, or tile flooring depending how you plan to use the space. Every project is different, and we’ll evaluate your needs when helping you make a decision.

Does EPI provide waterproofing for basements?

Yes, we do waterproof basements! Canadian weather throws all kinds of hazards our way, and basement flooding is something we don’t want to happen to your newly finished basement.
