Basement Renovation in Milton, Ontario
Milton is one of Canada's fastest-growing communities—a place where master-planned neighbourhoods like Beaty, Coates, and Hawthorne Village offer modern detached and semi-detached homes on generous lots, and where the town's older communities of Timberlea, Dorset Park, and Old Milton bring established charm and mature tree canopies. Whether your home was built in the 1970s in the heart of Milton or completed in 2018 in one of the newer west-end communities, the unfinished basement beneath it represents hundreds of untapped square feet. We help Milton homeowners transform that overlooked lower level into a beautifully finished, fully livable space.
Turning Every Milton Basement Into an Exceptional Space
Milton's rapid growth has produced a diverse mix of housing—from the spacious detached homes of Beaty and Coates with their deep lots and full-height basements, to the older homes of Timberlea and Dorset Park with their mid-century construction characteristics. Our design team evaluates each property individually—assessing ceiling height, mechanical layout, drainage conditions, and structural specifics—before producing a precise plan that unlocks every square foot of your Milton basement's potential.
Why Milton Homeowners Choose Peace of Mind Interiors
Milton is one of the GTA's fastest-growing towns—and its homeowners reflect that growth, with young families in Beaty and Coates, established professionals in Timberlea and Hawthorne Village, and commuters throughout Scott and the newer west-end communities who want their full home—including the basement—working as hard as their schedule does. We bring the same rigor of design, construction, and project management that Milton homeowners expect to every basement we renovate across the town.
Full-Home Expertise
One team coordinates every trade on your Milton project—framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, trim, and all finishing work—from building permit to final city sign-off, under one schedule and one accountable point of contact throughout.
Escarpment & Greenbelt Awareness
Milton's proximity to the Niagara Escarpment and its varied soil conditions across different subdivisions mean moisture profiles differ from street to street. We assess every property individually and engineer the right drainage and vapour barrier solution for your specific foundation and lot.
Fully Permitted
Every Milton basement project is fully permitted through the Town of Milton building department. We handle the complete permit application, coordinate all municipal inspections, and manage every required sign-off—so your finished basement is safe, legal, and fully protected at the time of any future resale.
Strong Resale Returns
Milton's sustained property value growth—driven by its position as one of Canada's most in-demand communities—makes a professionally finished basement one of the highest-return home investments available, consistently recovering up to 70% of renovation costs in added market value.

Frequently Asked Questions About Milton Basement Renovations
Clear, honest answers to what Milton homeowners ask us most before starting a basement renovation project.
Basement renovation costs in Milton typically range from $35,000 to $85,000+. Milton's newer detached homes in Beaty, Coates, and Scott often feature full-height basements exceeding 900 square feet, while the older homes of Timberlea and Dorset Park tend to have lower ceilings and more complex mechanical layouts that can influence total cost. A clean open-concept finish with one bathroom starts around $28,000, while a full legal secondary suite or multi-room luxury finish can reach $110,000+. Every project receives a free, fully itemized quote with no obligation.
Most Milton basement finishing projects take 6–10 weeks from start to completion. Newer builds in Beaty, Coates, and Hawthorne Village typically have straightforward layouts that allow efficient trade sequencing, while older homes in Timberlea and Dorset Park may require additional preparatory work—panel upgrades, plumbing modifications, or ceiling-height work—that can extend timelines to 12–14 weeks. A precise and realistic schedule is always included in your written quote before any work begins.
Yes—any basement renovation in Milton that involves new framing, electrical work, plumbing, egress windows, or changes to fire separations requires a Town of Milton building permit under the Ontario Building Code. This applies across all Milton communities, from Old Milton and Bronte Meadows to the newest subdivisions in Scott and Walker. We manage the complete permit application, coordinate all required Town of Milton inspections, and handle every sign-off as a standard part of our service at no additional charge to you.
Yes. Secondary suites are permitted in most low-density residential zones throughout Milton under the Town's Official Plan and Ontario's provincial housing legislation. We design and build fully code-compliant basement apartments—with separate entrances where site conditions allow, proper fire-rated wall and ceiling assemblies, egress windows that meet Ontario Building Code minimums, full kitchens, and compliant ceiling heights—passing all Town of Milton inspections. With Milton's population growth and commuter-driven rental demand near the Milton GO Station, a legal suite is one of the highest-return investments available to homeowners in this community.
Moisture risk in Milton varies significantly depending on the neighbourhood and the age of construction. Newer homes in Beaty, Scott, and Coates are typically built on well-drained lots with modern weeping tile, but still require proper vapour barrier installation and mould-resistant materials before finishing. Older homes in Timberlea and Dorset Park may have aging drainage systems and clay-heavy soils that create seasonal moisture pressure. We conduct a full moisture assessment on every Milton property before framing begins and deploy the appropriate combination of interior drainage membranes, sump pump systems, and vapour barriers calibrated to your specific home's conditions.
Milton homeowners—many of whom are young families and GTA commuters—use their finished basements for a wide range of purposes. The most common requests we receive include income-generating rental suites, kids' playrooms and dedicated homework zones, home offices for remote workers, home gyms, media rooms and family entertainment spaces, and in-law or nanny suites. In the larger detached homes of Beaty and Coates, clients frequently combine two or three of these uses within a single well-designed lower level—maximizing every square foot of the space.

What Milton Homeowners Say About Us
"We moved into our detached in the Beaty neighbourhood in 2019 and the basement was just a big unfinished shell. Peace of Mind built us a proper two-bedroom rental suite with a separate side entrance, a full kitchen, a modern bathroom, and proper egress windows. They pulled the Town of Milton permit, managed every inspection, and delivered the suite exactly on schedule. It's been rented continuously since completion and generates income every month. One of the best decisions we've made as homeowners."
"Our home in Timberlea is a 1980s two-storey with a basement that had low ceilings and older finishes that were falling apart. Peace of Mind stripped it back, updated the electrical panel, rerouted the plumbing stack, and built a bright home office with soundproofing, a kids' homework and play area, and a full bathroom with heated tile floors. The design worked beautifully around the constraints of the existing structure—it feels like a completely different level of our home. Phenomenal work."
"We built a home gym, a home theatre with acoustic panels, and a guest bedroom with ensuite in the basement of our Coates neighbourhood home—all in one project with Peace of Mind. We had a tight timeline because we were expecting family to visit, and they hit every milestone without exception. The quality of the soundproofing between floors is genuinely remarkable. Our neighbours can't hear a thing even when we're watching a movie at full volume. Outstanding team, outstanding results."
