Basement Renovation in Bolton, Ontario
Bolton is Caledon's largest and most vibrant community — a town with deep roots along the Humber River, a charming Victorian-era Heritage Conservation District downtown, and a thriving mix of family neighbourhoods from Bolton West and Bolton North to Bolton East and the Heights. Homes here range from mid-century bungalows near King Street to spacious two-storey detached builds in the newer subdivisions north of Hwy 50. Whatever era your home was built in, its basement holds real untapped potential. We transform underused lower levels into polished, liveable spaces built for how your family actually lives.

Every renovation we complete in Bolton starts with a conversation and ends with a reveal you won't believe. From hand-drawn concepts and CAD plans to the final coat of paint — we bring precision and craftsmanship to every phase of the build.
Why Bolton Homeowners Trust Us With Their Basement Renovations
Bolton's housing spans several distinct eras — from the heritage Victorian and Edwardian homes near the downtown Humber River valley to post-war bungalows along King Street, and the large-lot detached homes filling Bolton West, Bolton North, and Bolton East that were built through the 1980s, '90s, and 2000s. Each era brings its own basement profile: older homes near the Heritage Conservation District often have stone foundations, low headroom, and dated mechanicals; newer subdivisions deliver open concrete shells with full ceiling heights ready for a fresh build-out. At Peace of Mind Interiors, we know exactly how to handle both — and everything in between.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bolton Basement Renovations
Answers to the questions Bolton homeowners ask us most before starting their renovation.
In Bolton, basement renovation costs typically range from $35,000 to $85,000+, with most projects falling between $45,000 and $65,000 depending on square footage, layout, and finish level. A basic open-concept finish starts around $25,000–$35,000, while a fully equipped space with a bathroom, wet bar, and separate entrance can exceed $90,000. Older homes near Bolton's Historic Downtown Heritage Conservation District may require additional foundation or moisture work that affects the budget. We provide a free, fully itemized estimate before any work begins.
A typical Bolton basement finishing project takes 6–10 weeks from start to completion. Projects that include a full bathroom addition, secondary suite, or separate entrance may run 12–16 weeks. Homes in Bolton's newer subdivisions — Bolton North, Bolton East, and Bolton Heights — typically move faster as their basements are already open, insulated concrete shells. We'll map out a specific schedule during your free consultation.
Yes — in Bolton, a building permit is required for most renovation work including new framing, electrical, plumbing, egress windows, and HVAC changes. Permits are issued through Town of Caledon Building Services under the Region of Peel. Properties within Bolton's Heritage Conservation District may have additional design review requirements to preserve the character of the historic streetscape. We handle the full permit application and inspection process on your behalf from start to finish.
Absolutely. Bolton is part of the Town of Caledon which permits secondary suites in eligible residential zones. We build fully code-compliant basement apartments — covering separate entrances, full kitchen rough-ins and installations, fire-rated wall assemblies, egress windows, and all safety requirements. With Bolton's proximity to Brampton, Vaughan, and the Highway 427 corridor, a basement rental suite is a strong income-generating investment.
Bolton's Historic Downtown Heritage Conservation District includes homes dating back to the 1820s, many featuring rubble stone and unreinforced block foundations alongside low ceiling clearances and older drainage systems. Before framing a single wall in any older Bolton home, we conduct a full structural and moisture assessment, then design the appropriate waterproofing system — vapour barriers, drainage membranes, and sump solutions — so your new basement stays permanently dry and healthy.
Bolton families tend to favour multi-purpose rec rooms, home theatres, private gyms, and dedicated home offices — especially as the community has grown into a commuter hub for professionals working in Brampton, Vaughan, and Toronto. Basement legal suites are also increasingly popular given Bolton's strong rental demand. We design every layout around how your household actually lives, ensuring every square foot earns its place.

Trusted by Bolton Homeowners
"We own a 1940s home just off Queen Street in Bolton's Historic Downtown — original stone foundation, low ceilings, the works. I was nervous no one would take it on properly, but the Peace of Mind team did a full moisture and structural check before touching anything. They raised the floor membrane, installed a proper sump system, and turned what was a damp storage area into a beautiful family room and home office. Incredible work."
"We have a large detached home in Bolton North that we bought new about 12 years ago. The basement was just bare concrete. Peace of Mind Interiors walked us through a 3D design for a home theatre, wet bar, and kids' lounge — it looked so good we approved it on the first presentation. The build was flawless, finished exactly on schedule, and the quality of every detail exceeded our expectations. Couldn't be happier."
"I wanted a legal basement apartment in my Bolton West home to help offset the mortgage. Peace of Mind Interiors knew the Town of Caledon's secondary suite requirements inside and out. They handled all the permits, built a gorgeous self-contained one-bedroom unit with a private side entrance, and the whole job wrapped up in under 10 weeks. My tenant moved in the following month. The ROI has already been fantastic."
