Walkout Basement

Whatever you decide to use your basement for, having a basement walkout will make it better. These entryways can serve a lot of purposes, ranging from allowing visitors to have different access to the basement to being an exit route in case of an emergency.

Whether you decide to use the basement as a game room or as an apartment, it will be convenient for people to access it without passing through your house. You can also use the walkout to leave the building in case of fire or any other emergency that blocks the entryway.

Reno Duck can build the basement walkout you want within a reasonable time and budget.

Walkout basements are often complete with one or several walls with full-size windows and a door that opens to level ground. The open side of a walkout basement faces the backyard for many houses, but some houses have street-facing walkout basements.

Houses with a walkout basement not only have a unique visual appeal but offer some other benefits:

  • Additional Habitable Space: A walkout basement helps to add some habitable space to your home. The windows enhance proper aeration and natural lighting, and you can furnish the walkout basement like the rest of your house. Walkout basements are a great way of adding square footage to a house without expanding the house upward or outward.
  • Separate Entrance: The separate entrance of the walkout basement is ideal for creating a separate basement apartment. The additional separate living space would be an ideal place to host guests. The separate apartment also provides an opportunity for additional rental income.
  • Excellent Natural Lighting: A walkout basement is better lit than any other type of basement. The windows and the doors in the walkout basement will bring in natural lighting. You don’t have to over-rely on artificial lighting.
  • Adds Value to your Home: Many new homeowners often seek properties that boast a walkout basement. A properly ventilated and waterproofed walkout basement provides an additional living space or storage area, making your home more marketable. Buyers would be willing to pay more for a home with a walkout basement.

There’s no limit to the creative ways of using the extra basement space after a professional basement renovation. With the proper windows installation, lighting, flooring, and waterproofing, your basement can serve many purposes:

  • Private Gym: Most of us strive to remain active, whether by walking around the neighborhood or going to the gym. Creating a home gym in your basement allows you to exercise without leaving your house. With Reno Duck’s professional guidance and renovation services, you can turn any basement into a home gym. We’ll optimize your basement with workout-friendly flooring materials and other ideal modifications.
  • Man Cave: A man cave will be a great idea if you seek to create a space of your own that showcases your likes and interests. At the end of a long day, you can retreat into your man cave to relax without disturbances. You can use your man cave to spend some time alone or share some great moments with friends. When you’re designing your man cave, your creativity knows no boundaries.
  • Home Office: If you’ve ever tried to work from home, you understand that distractions can be endless. You’ll end up taking too many breaks unless you’re a really strict and focused person.

  • Basement Apartment: Our team at Reno Duck will help you create a basement apartment without violating building codes and regulations in Oakville. Your basement apartment can help you earn some rental income.

FAQ about Basement Renovation & Finishing

Your basement has great potential for an appealing, usable space in your home. Basement renovation will create new functionality and increase the value of your home. You can create specialty features like a game room, home theater, and playroom to fit your family’s lifestyle.

An unfinished basement will not count as square footage for your home. However, realtors and appraisers will include a finished basement in the overall square footage of your home, raising your home’s value.

Our professional contractors will help you know whether you need a permit or not. Whether you need a permit or not will depend on the modifications of your basement during the renovation. A permit will be necessary if the renovation entails:

  • Altering the plumbing, heating, and insulating systems
  • Structural or material alterations
  • Adding a second suite
  • Basement underpinning
  • Creating a new entrance to the basement

You should check Oakville’s building specifications to know if you need a permit for your basement renovation. Our experienced renovation contractors will also advise you.

Every basement refinishing project is different, and thus, requires a different budget. You can talk to our team, and we will discuss the changes you want before giving you a cost estimate. However, you set your budget, and we will try to work with it. Remember to be realistic with the budget to get quality materials and finishes.

Any type of renovation that involves altering the foundation or demolition of walls will require a permit, but cosmetic changes will not. Converting the basement into a rented apartment, modifying plumbing systems, underpinning, changing heating systems or installing an entrance will also need permits to ensure all is done in compliance with the local building codes. We will make sure we do everything according to the recommended standards.

Basements are prone to water damage, and you should choose a flooring type that reduces water damage. The typical flooring types for basement renovations include laminate flooring, ceramic tiles, rubber, and engineered wood. The ideal flooring type will depend on how you intend to use your basement.

No, we don’t restrict our clients in the choice of finishing materials. We’ll work with your preferred finishing materials provided they meet the quality and finishing requirements.

We always allow our clients to purchase the materials if they can. You can involve us in the selection to ensure the ones you buy are quality.

The duration will depend on whether it is a remodelling, a renovation, or a finishing project. Most remodelling work doesn’t require a lot of work and is completed quickly. Renovations and refinishing will take longer, depending on the work being done. You can get an exact schedule from us, but we usually take between 4 weeks to 6 weeks.

Basement renovations can cost anything between $15,000 to $100,000 in Oakville. However, if the renovations are minimal, the cost can be less than that. On the other hand, if you want to use high-end materials, you could end up passing the $100,000 price. Reno Duck uses great price estimate tools that are accurate. We will calculate the price for you and make sure you get the value you deserve.
