Location

Scope
7 weeks
Completed
August 2025
An unfinished basement with one small hopper window and a stair that arrived in the middle of the room.
The main work nobody sees: cutting and enlarging the foundation opening for a code-compliant egress window, and a new window well with a drain tied into the weeping tile. After that it was framing, insulation, a rebuilt stair landing, and finishes.
The room now takes real daylight, which is the difference between a basement and a floor of the house.
Scope of work
- Foundation cut and enlarged egress window opening
- New window well, drained to weeping tile
- Framing, insulation and vapour barrier throughout
- Rebuilt stair landing, permit and inspections included
