Basement renovations across the GTA
Basement Renovations That Build Equity.
Your basement is the most expensive square footage you own that is not paying you back. We turn it into a legal, permitted income suite or premium living space that helps carry your mortgage, grows your equity and gives your family room to breathe, across Toronto, the GTA and the Golden Horseshoe. First time clients save 10% for a limited time only.

Why it pays
Turn Space Into Cash Flow
A legal secondary suite turns idle space into a monthly cheque. Rent paid by a tenant goes straight toward your mortgage, property taxes and utilities, so the renovation keeps working for you long after the last nail is set.
Finished, permitted square footage is valued by appraisers, lenders and buyers. A documented suite with closed permits strengthens your home's position on the market and gives you a stronger case when it is time to refinance or sell.
Land transfer tax, realtor fees and moving costs disappear when you build the space you need under your own roof. Add bedrooms, a recreation room or an in law suite inside the footprint you already own.
Rent it today, house your parents tomorrow, give your grown kids a launch pad next year. A well planned basement adapts as your family changes, so the investment never sits idle.
Waterproofing, insulation, fire separation and proper egress are planned from day one. That protects your tenants, your insurance coverage and your resale value, and it means you never pay to fix shortcuts later.
Why Remodel Your Basement?
Most GTA homeowners are sitting on hundreds of square feet of untapped value beneath their feet. Rising housing costs and strong rental demand mean a professionally finished, legal basement is one of the few renovations that can pay you every month while it adds lasting equity to your property. Think of it less as an expense and more as an asset you build once and collect on for years.
Then there is the feeling: no more cold, damp storage room you avoid, no more stress about how to cover the next payment. Just a bright, safe, fully permitted space that is working for you, building equity, generating cash flow and giving your family options. That is not a renovation. That is a strategy.
Permits and compliance
Permitted. Inspected. Protected.
An illegal suite is a liability, not an asset. Unpermitted work can void insurance, stall a sale, invite fines and put tenants at risk. Every Metrovation basement is designed and built to meet the Ontario Building Code, the Ontario Fire Code and your municipality's zoning bylaws, with building permits pulled and inspections passed before we call it done.
- Building permits applied for and managed on your behalf
- Designed to the Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code
- Zoning bylaw review for additional residential units
- Fire separation, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
- Code compliant egress windows and ceiling heights
- ESA electrical permits and inspections
- Licensed plumbing and HVAC with municipal inspections
- Closed permits and documentation for insurers and buyers
