Hey Victorian crew! Thanks for the great job. My basement is looking soooo good and cozy! Loved you work and I could not recommend more. Are there more stars to give????

The work was fast and well done. I have no complaints whatsoever and I am booking them again for a bathroom in my basement.

I needed a renovation contractor to fix my basement and upstairs bathroom. Luckily, I found Victorian Reno, and the results were nothing short of excellent.

How long will your renovation take?
hese timelines show how long a carefully planned renovation may take. Your schedule will depend on the project size, materials, permits, inspections, and any hidden problems found during construction.
Before work begins, we give you a project schedule and explain what could affect it.
Basement Renovation
Design and planning
Usually 1 to 3 weeks
Permit (if required)
Usually 2 to 6 weeks
Renovation
Usually 3 to 12 weeks
Basement timelines vary depending on the scope of work. A basic open layout usually takes less time than a basement with a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, structural work, or major mechanical changes.
Ontario gives municipalities set review periods for complete permit applications. Permit timing depends on the project, the completeness of the application, and whether revisions, zoning review, or additional documents are required. We explain the expected permit process before construction begins.
What may add more time
Adding a new kitchen
Adding a new bathroom
Mould or water damage
Waterproofing and drainage work
Underpinning or structural work
Moving the main plumbing stack
These are planning ranges. Your final schedule depends on your home, the condition of the space, the materials you choose, and the amount of work needed.
Basement renovation FAQ
Do I need permits for a basement renovation?
Not always. Simple finishing work may not require a permit if there are no structural changes, new plumbing, or additional dwelling units. More extensive renovations do require approval.
Can I create a legal basement apartment for rental income?
Possibly. The property must meet zoning and building requirements, and you will need an approved building permit before creating a legal secondary suite.
Will a basement renovation increate my property value?
It can. A well finished and functional basement may make your home more appealing, but the increase in value depends on the quality of the work, your location, and current market conditions.
What adds the most value in a basement renovation?
Useful living space, good lighting, storage, an additional bathroom, and quality finishes can add appeal. A legal secondary suite may also be valuable where the property and approvals allow it.
