Basement Renovation review in
Toronto
- Approximate cost of services:
- $120,000.00
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- We weighed heavily the dilema of underpinning vs. other waterproofing options. Underpinning was the more expensive option. But the investment was SO SO SO worth it. After a quick refinancing, we realizing that underpinning was the only way we could totally get our basement warm and dry. Today, there is no water or moisture coming up through the floors. We also installed underfloor heating. This added $7K to our budget and we questioned the value of this expense. From our opinion, this was a wise choice. I have no qualms about working, living -- being barefoot -- in the basement. Note: Nu-Site did not "talk us into this" or even try to sell us this underfloor heating system. . . In fact, they really sat down with us and wanted us to know about the added expense (it almost felt like they were trying to talk us out of it) and how the mechanism would work. I wanted this option, having done researching online. And I'm glad for my research and my additional investment. I'm a lot more comfortable. /ml
