Basement Renovation

An unfinished basement offers endless potential. Whether you’re looking to create extra living space, increase your home’s resale value, or generate rental income, finishing your basement is one of the most rewarding upgrades you can make.
 

At Emerald Landscaping & Construction, we specialize in high-quality basement renovations designed to meet your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals. While basement units may not command the same market value as above-grade spaces, they can significantly boost cash flow—as either functional living space or a legal rental suite to help offset your mortgage.
 

If you’re unsure where to start, here are some popular basement renovation ideas we can help bring to life:

 

Living Suite

Create a fully equipped basement apartment for rental income, in-law accommodations, or extended family. We can add bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, and a comfortable living area to turn your unfinished basement into a self-contained home. Want a spacious master bedroom, guest rooms, or a home office? We can build that too.

 

Multi-Purpose Open Concept Space

Design a versatile open-concept area that adapts to your changing needs—whether it's a children's playroom, a family recreation room, or a multi-use lounge. The open layout gives you total flexibility for future updates.

 

Spa-Style Bathroom or Ensuite

If your main floors lack space for a luxury bathroom, your basement is the perfect place to build a custom spa retreat. Think oversized showers, soaking tubs, heated floors, and relaxing finishes.

 

Home Theatre

Skip the crowds and bring the cinematic experience home. We can build a cozy home theatre with tiered seating, surround sound, dimmable lighting, and even a built-in snack bar or popcorn machine.

 

Wet Bar & Entertainment Zone

Love entertaining? A custom wet bar makes it easy to serve drinks and host guests in style. Add built-in shelving, mood lighting, and high-end finishes for the perfect social hub.

​

Fireplace Feature Wall

Transform your basement from cold and dark to warm and inviting with a modern or classic fireplace. It’s a great way to anchor the space and make it feel like a true extension of your home.

 

Home Gym

Create a private, 24/7 fitness space tailored to your routine. Add mirrors, rubber flooring, storage for equipment, and multimedia options for guided workouts—all in the comfort of your own home.

The Gallery must have a full-page option selected, which the others don’t. The images don’t have descriptions. I don’t think that’s important, but I would use the same setting for all galleries. Either full page or actual size.
