Basement Remodeling & Renovation Journey Timeline

Scope and layout planning

We begin with you. We measure the square footage, study the floor plan, the age of your home, your vision of a finished basement, and evaluate the scope of work needed to bring your basement renovation ideas to life. At this step, we also guide homeowners about the legal compliance, city permits, along with project cost, labour costs and contingency planning for the project.

Ordering and scheduling

Once we’ve finalized the look and feel of the basement, we take the homeowner through the ordering of chosen materials, help with permit applications, and schedule the building permit inspections.

Framing and insulation plan

At this critical step, we assess the structural integrity of the basement for a hassle-free renovation plan. Think stud walls, partitions, structural framing, including load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, waterproofing, along with adding moisture control, vapour barriers and insulation within these walls.

Drywall and finishing

Now, to conceal the foundation, wiring, and insulation, up goes the drywall, which is taped, coated and sanded smooth. At this stage, our licensed electricians begin electrical work. We also add plumbing and Primer and paint follow to reveal a glimpse of what your livable space will look like.

Flooring and trim

Flooring installation follows, where, depending on your choice of material finish, the labour demand and the cost of construction service will vary. Trim adds to the aesthetic at this step with baseboards, doors, egress windows and shelves.

Electrical & lighting coordination

Typically, in all of Guelph’s legacy homes, new circuits are added before the drywall. Up next, light fixtures are installed to complete the transformation of your basement into a legal rental suite.

Final walkthrough and cleanup

Depending on the size of your basement and the complexity of the finish, the renovation timeline can be anywhere from 6-8 weeks to even 3-6 months. Once we’ve ticked off all the non-negotiables before the inspections, we handover a clean, finished basement, certain of appreciating your property value in no time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely pleased with the double bathroom renovation by Paul and his company. He took what was an outdated 90s bathroom and brought it into the 21st century with new vanities, fixtures and flooring. Also at a very fair and decent price in comparison to other companies who were asking for more than double what Paul quoted me. All completed in two days. Would definitely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Renovation Work!
We recently had our laundry room renovated by PD Renovations, and we couldn’t be happier with the result! The entire project was handled with professionalism and completed in a very timely manner. The team (special thanks to Paul) was efficient, respectful, and paid great attention to detail. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work delivered. Our laundry room looks amazing now—clean, modern, and functional. We highly recommend PD Renovations for anyone looking for quality home improvements at a fair price!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently moved to Cambridge and hired PD Home Renovations, led by Paul, to finish our full basement and take on a few other projects around the house. From the very beginning, Paul was thorough, accommodating, and extremely detail-oriented. He took the time to walk us through every aspect of the planning stage and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

Despite having other jobs on the go, Paul maintained a personalized and prompt approach. We never felt rushed, he was always communicative and transparent, flagging any areas of concern as they came up. The project was completed right on time at the 8-week mark, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The basement looks fantastic, and the fit and finish are top-notch.

What really stood out was Paul’s professionalism and organization—his quoting process and regular updates made the renovation experience far less stressful. If you’re considering a basement or whole-home renovation, I highly recommend Paul and PD Home Renovations. You’ll be in great hands.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would have loved to give this company a full 5/5 stars, as the craftsmanship was excellent, the team was polite and tidy, and working with Paul was a very positive experience. He was clear, communicative, and made sure I understood my options and the overall process before any work began. He respected my preferences and gave realistic timelines based on the scope.

That said, the execution of the project left me a bit frustrated. What should have been a straightforward bathroom job took longer than expected due to how the work was scheduled. Instead of dedicating one or two full days to complete the project, it was spread over random days, with one trade working for a few hours and then another coming the next day for a short visit. This stretched out what could’ve been a 1–2 day job into a more drawn-out process.

The biggest issue was that the tiler accidentally tiled over the shower head area, requiring them to return, break the tile, and redo part of the work. Mistakes happen, but for a team that specializes in bathrooms, overlooking a basic feature like a shower head felt careless. When the issue was discovered, the response from the crew was laughter—not a huge deal, but as the homeowner dealing with the extra time and disruption, it didn’t sit well with me.

Despite these hiccups, I do believe they know what they’re doing and that my experience may have been a one-off. The end result looks great, and they left everything clean and well-finished. I just wish the scheduling and attention to detail had matched the quality of the final product.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and his team did a great job turning my practically useless mudroom into a functional walk-in panty/bar. His team was quick to react to an unforeseen utility that was exposed after the closet demolition. Within a few hours they had a cost effective solution that worked for us! Great job, would hire again!
