Basement Renovations in Vancouver, BC
An unfinished basement is the most cost-effective space you can add to a home, if it's done right. WestMade turns dark, damp, or dated basements into bright living space: family rooms, home offices, guest suites, and legal secondary suites. We deal with moisture, insulation, egress, and sound properly first, so the finished rooms are comfortable, quiet, and built to code.

Homeowners on their basement renovations.
We finished our basement into a two-bedroom suite and couldn't be happier. WestMade handled the moisture, egress windows, and soundproofing properly, the inspector had zero notes. It rents now and feels like a real home, not a basement.
What impressed me most was the communication. With a whole-home renovation there's a lot that can go sideways, but I always knew what was happening, when, and why. The fixed quote held, too. That's rare in this trade.

Can you build a legal secondary suite?
Yes. We handle egress, ceiling height, fire separation, and soundproofing correctly for legal secondary suites, plus kitchenettes and separate entries that make a basement a real income space.

How do you deal with basement moisture?
Moisture comes first: drainage, vapour control, and insulation are addressed before any finishing, the foundation of a basement that stays dry, warm, and healthy.
-
Will the finished basement still feel like a basement?
That's exactly what we design against. Thoughtful lighting, layout, and finishes overcome the usual gloom so the space feels like genuine, comfortable living area, not an afterthought.
