Overview

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.

Why WestMade

More livable square footage, done to code.

  • Moisture handled first

    Drainage, vapour control, and insulation addressed before finishing, the foundation of a basement that stays dry and healthy.

  • Bright, comfortable rooms

    Thoughtful lighting, layout, and finishes that overcome the usual basement gloom and make the space genuinely inviting.

  • Suites that meet code

    Egress, ceiling height, fire separation, and sound, handled correctly for rec rooms and legal secondary suites alike.

  • Rental-ready options

    Planning a suite? We build kitchenettes, separate entries, and soundproofing that make a basement a real income space.

What clients say

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.
Aaron & Priya Mitchell · Homeowners, Burnaby · Basement secondary suite
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.

FAQ

Basement Renovations, answered.

Still wondering about something? Call us at (604) 555-0188, real humans answer.

  • 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.

  • How long does a basement renovation take?

    Timelines depend on whether you're building a rec room or a full suite, and on the moisture and mechanical work involved. We assess the space and give you a fixed, itemized quote and schedule up front.
