Frequently Asked Questions
When planning a legal basement conversion, it’s important to meet local building codes and regulations, which can vary by area. This includes having proper egress windows for emergency exits, adequate ceiling heights, and ventilation systems to meet safety requirements.
Additionally, factors like soundproofing, insulation, moisture control, and electrical capacity should be addressed to ensure the space is safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient. At On Site Renovations, we guide clients through each step, from design to final inspections, making sure the conversion not only complies with regulations but is also tailored to their specific needs.
The best flooring for basements should be moisture-resistant and durable. We recommend options like vinyl plank, ceramic tile, or engineered wood, which are resilient to humidity and potential water exposure.
Vinyl plank offers a warm, cushioned feel and is highly water-resistant, making it a popular choice. Ceramic tile provides a polished, upscale look and can withstand heavy foot traffic. Engineered wood has a real-wood finish with added durability against moisture. Before installation, we prepare the subfloor with a moisture barrier to ensure long-lasting performance and comfort.
Adding a kitchen to your basement not only increases the functionality of the space but also adds significant value to your home. A basement kitchen is ideal for hosting gatherings, setting up a separate living area, or creating an in-law suite. Our designs maximize efficiency in a compact area, making use of every inch without compromising on style or accessibility.
We carefully plan for proper ventilation, moisture control, and durable materials to ensure the kitchen stands the test of time and complements the rest of your home.
Moisture control is one of our top priorities in basement renovations, as basements are naturally prone to higher humidity and potential water intrusion. We use advanced waterproofing methods, like installing vapor barriers, sump pumps, and drainage systems to protect against moisture damage. Additionally, we choose moisture-resistant materials for framing, drywall, and flooring, providing extra protection and durability. These precautions create a dry, comfortable basement space that is safe from mold and water damage over the long term.
Framing is the foundational structure of any renovation, supporting drywall, insulation, and other components. In basements, framing must account for moisture, varying wall thickness, and the weight of additional layers. We use treated wood or metal studs for durability, and each frame is meticulously measured and aligned. Our team ensures that walls are level and plumb, providing a stable base for insulation and finishing.
Proper framing is essential to avoid issues like sagging or misalignment, so we prioritize quality craftsmanship in this initial phase.
Safety and efficiency are crucial in basement electrical work, especially due to potential dampness. We use GFCI outlets in moisture-prone areas, install energy-efficient LED lighting, and ensure proper circuit distribution to prevent overloading. Our team carefully plans wiring layouts to accommodate all desired features, such as lighting, appliances, and outlets, while adhering to local building codes.
With a focus on quality materials and expert installation, we ensure that your basement’s electrical system is reliable, safe, and built to support your lifestyle.
