Basement Walkout

Basement walkouts are complex features that enhance homes but are not always ideal for every basement. They require additional excavation and grading and the site conditions must be suitable to support a basement walkout.

As basement walkout specialists in Toronto, RenoDuck are the professionals you need to determine whether a basement walkout is the best choice for your basement. We’ll conduct a site assessment, brainstorm design ideas, create proposal, apply for permits and handle all aspects of the project.

A basement walkout adds value to the home and provides an opportunity for increased natural light, which is particularly important for basements which tend to be dark spaces. We also install full-size windows and patio sliders and create additional concrete landscaping customized to the look you want. After permit approval, we’ll excavate to level the ground and add footings to your home’s foundation, then pour concrete footers and allow it to dry. Waterproofing is next to ensure your basement is protected from moisture, and weeping tiles are installed to ensure proper drainage.

Basement Kitchen

Having a second kitchen in your home gives you a separate area to prepare meals while you’re in your basement, which is excellent if you are using your basement space to entertain. Make your basement more functional with a kitchen. Our designers can help you select a kitchen layout for any size basement. Even if you have a small basement, we’ll design a kitchen layout that works for the space.

If you have a small basement, consider a kitchenette, which has the same elements as a regular-sized kitchen but is smaller. A galley kitchen might be the best choice if space is limited. This walk-through kitchen utilizes parallel walls and is straightforward and easy to use. A one-wall kitchen creates an open layout, leaving room for an island or dining table. If you have a medium-sized basement, an L-shaped kitchen or peninsula kitchen design are good options to consider. For large, spacious basements, you have the freedom to choose kitchen layouts that take up more room, like a horseshoe, also known as a U-shaped layout, and a kitchen island.

Working from home was once largely associated with the self-employed. However, with the increase in remote and hybrid jobs in recent years, basement workspaces have become more relevant than ever before.
