Basement Renovation in Richmond Hill, Ontario
Richmond Hill's west side—from the well-established streets of Mill Pond and Westbrook to the newer master-planned homes of Bayview Hill—is full of properties built from the 1980s through the 2000s, many with spacious but unfinished lower levels just waiting to be transformed. We turn those underused spaces into income-generating suites, family entertainment rooms, and fully finished living areas built to last.

You'll receive a detailed schedule during your consultation so you always know where the project stands.
Yes. The City of Richmond Hill requires a building permit for virtually any basement finishing that involves framing new walls, modifying electrical or plumbing systems, adding egress windows, or changing the use of the space. We take care of the entire permit application and inspection process on your behalf—it's included in our service.
Yes—we build fully legal secondary suites that meet Ontario building codes and City of Richmond Hill zoning requirements. This includes independent entrances, full kitchens, fire-rated separations, proper egress windows, and all necessary safety systems. Many Richmond Hill homeowners use these suites to offset mortgage costs with rental income.
Moisture management is built into every job we do. Before framing begins, we conduct a thorough moisture and drainage inspection. We install vapour barriers, drainage membranes, and sump pump systems where the assessment calls for them, and we use mould-resistant drywall and materials throughout. The result is a basement that stays dry and healthy long after we leave.
Richmond Hill homeowners use their finished basements for everything from home theatres, gyms, and home offices to playrooms, guest bedrooms, wine cellars, wet bars, and income-generating rental suites. We design every space around how your household actually uses it—not a one-size-fits-all template.

What Richmond Hill Homeowners Say About Our Basement Renovations
"We live in Bayview Hill and had been staring at a bare concrete basement for eight years. Peace of Mind came in, drew up a gorgeous home theatre and wet bar layout, and delivered exactly what we envisioned. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the project finished on schedule."
"Our Westbrook home needed extra living space for my aging parents. Peace of Mind built us a fully legal basement apartment with a private entrance, full kitchen, and a bright bedroom. They pulled every permit and passed every inspection without a single issue. Couldn't be happier."
"I reached out to Peace of Mind after finding moisture in my Mill Pond home's basement. They did a full waterproofing treatment, installed a new drainage membrane, and then finished the space as a bright home gym and office. Two years later, still bone dry. Phenomenal team."
