More Space = More Fun!

Finishing your basement gives you endless possibilities for growing families, so it’s a good idea to talk to your builder about finishing yours.  With this ‘bonus’ space, it’s time to get creative! Finished basements make ideal games rooms, home theatre spaces, fitness studios and wine rooms.

For those who like to entertain extended family or guests, a second kitchen in the basement means you can take meals to a whole new level.

And for those who opt for a finished basement, it’s worth a repeat: you can upgrade your ceiling heights in many cases.  This will give you more natural light with bigger windows, and a more spacious feel.
