Basement Renovation in Brantford, Ontario
Brantford's housing stock is as varied as the city itself — from early 1900s brick cottages in Henderson and Holmedale to post-war bungalows in Eagle Place and the newer two-storey homes filling up West Brant. Whatever decade your home was built, its basement holds real untapped potential. We turn those underused lower levels into polished, liveable spaces built for how your family actually lives — home offices, rental suites, rec rooms, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brantford Basement Renovations
Answers to the questions Brantford homeowners ask us most before starting their renovation.
For most Brantford homes, basement renovation projects range from $35,000 to $80,000+, with the final cost depending on square footage, layout complexity, and your choice of finishes. A straightforward open-concept finish typically starts around $25,000, while a fully equipped space with a bathroom, kitchenette, and separate entrance can exceed $100,000. We provide a free, detailed estimate for every project before any work begins.
A typical basement finishing project in Brantford takes 6–10 weeks once work gets underway. Projects that include a bathroom addition, separate entrance, or legal secondary suite may require 12–16 weeks to complete properly. During your free consultation, we'll map out a realistic schedule so you always know what to expect and when.
Yes — in Brantford, a building permit is required for most basement renovation work, including framing new walls, adding or altering electrical and plumbing, installing egress windows, and any change to the HVAC system. The City of Brantford's Building Division oversees approvals, and we handle the entire permit application and inspection process on your behalf.
Absolutely. We build fully legal secondary suites and basement apartments that meet Ontario's building code and Brantford's zoning requirements. Every detail is covered — separate entrances, full kitchen installations, fire-rated wall assemblies, egress windows, and all required safety features — so your suite is both legal and ready to generate rental income.
Moisture management is the foundation of every project we take on. Before any framing begins, we conduct a thorough moisture and foundation assessment. We then install the appropriate combination of vapour barriers, drainage membranes, and sump pump systems, and select mould-resistant materials throughout. The result is a finished basement that stays dry and healthy for the long term.
Your basement can become practically anything. Brantford homeowners commonly choose home theatres, private gyms, home offices, kids' playrooms, guest bedrooms, wet bars, wine rooms, rental suites, or a combination of uses. We design the layout around your lifestyle so every square foot is working for you.

What Brantford Homeowners Say About Our Work
We had a raw, unfinished basement in our Briar Park home that had been sitting untouched for years. Peace of Mind Interiors turned it into a proper home gym and media lounge — everything was done on time, the crew was respectful of our space, and the finishing work is genuinely impressive. Couldn't be happier.
We wanted a legal rental suite in our West Brant home to offset the mortgage. The team handled every part of the process — permits, the separate entrance, full kitchen, egress windows — all of it. The suite was rented within two weeks of completion. The investment has already paid off.
Our older home in Holmedale had a damp, low-ceiling basement we never used. Peace of Mind assessed the moisture issues first, fixed them properly, then built out a beautiful rec room and home office for our kids. The waterproofing alone was worth every penny — completely dry through the whole winter.
