The case study

How this basement came together

  1. Basement finishing in High Park, Toronto

    Osoba Renos & Design finished this High Park basement in Toronto, transforming an open unfinished lower level into a practical living space with separate rooms and a dedicated three-piece bathroom. The project focused on turning unused square footage into comfortable, everyday living area without overcomplicating the layout.

  2. The result

    The finished basement now includes a main living zone, private rooms for flexible use, and a full three-piece bathroom for convenience below grade. As part of the renovation, the basement staircase was also rebuilt, creating a safer, cleaner connection between the main floor and the newly finished lower level.

Scope

What we built

  • Open basement conversion
  • Finished living area build-out
  • Separate room framing and finishing
  • Three-piece bathroom addition
  • Basement staircase rebuild
  • Flooring and trim finishing

Budget

What a basement like this costs

This project

Finished basement + 3-piece bathroom

$100–$150/sq. ft.

4–5 weeks on site

Full finish plus bathroom with shower, plumbing permit, and ESA electrical. Priced per sq ft at estimate.

Finished rec room / family room

$100–$150/sq. ft.

3–4 weeks on site

Framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, baseboards, lighting, paint. Example: 700 sq ft ≈ $70,000–$105,000.

What moves the number

  • Square footage: finished basements are quoted per square foot
  • Whether a bathroom is added, which brings plumbing permits and ESA electrical
  • Second-suite requirements: egress, fire separation, separate entry, kitchen
  • Documented water incursion, which turns waterproofing into a fixed add-on

We measure on site and give you a fixed-price proposal before work starts. If your budget and the scope you want do not line up, we will tell you that at the estimate rather than after.

Timeline

How long a basement build takes

A finished rec room runs 3–4 weeks on site, 4–5 weeks with a three-piece bathroom, and 6–8 weeks for a second suite. Basements are quoted at $100–$150/sq. ft., so the schedule tracks the square footage as much as the scope.

Timelines are the schedule we commit to at proposal, with milestones you can hold us to.

How long does a basement renovation take?
Three to four weeks for a finished rec room, four to five with a three-piece bathroom, six to eight for a second suite. Permit review runs in parallel where one is required.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Our in-house crew does the work, with a dedicated project manager coordinating the project from start to finish. That is what keeps the finishing consistent across a whole job.
What warranty and insurance do you carry?
A 5-year workmanship warranty in writing, active WSIB clearance and $2M general liability insurance. We provide the certificates condo boards and property managers ask for.
