Basement Renovations: The Untapped Potential

Not every household possesses a basement, but if you reside in Calgary and Southern Alberta, much like us, you likely have a basement (or a crawl space). Whether it’s in its raw, untouched state or fully furnished, it might just be the perfect spot for socializing with friends or where your Christmas decorations remain hidden until their annual return. 

Basements are one of our favourite types of projects to undertake. A basement renovation allows you to transform your basement into a functional living space and expand the available space in your home. You can create additional bedrooms, bathrooms, a home office, a media room, a bar area, a theatre room, a game area, a gym, or any other room that aligns with your specific needs and lifestyle. 

How much does a basement renovation cost? 

Based on our expertise, basements have an average range of 40,000 – 85,000 and beyond. The variations in overall project size, design, flooring selections and layout are limitless, making every basement project unique.

Basement Developments

A basement development implies nothing has been done, the slate is blank, and we are starting with an empty space building and designing everything from scratch. 

Basement Renovation 

A basement renovation refers to restoring or updating an existing space without major structural changes. It focuses on improving the aesthetics, functionality, or condition of the room while keeping the overall layout intact.

Basement Remodel

A basement remodel involves making significant changes to the structure, layout, or design of a space. Altering the existing space to create something entirely new or different. In a remodel, you may tear down walls, reconfigure the floor plan, add new features, or completely change the appearance of the room. 

Before & After Basement Renovation

We’ve completely change this basement into a large and open space. While also bringing everything up to code and up to date. White walls, black hardware, a home bar and a carpet so comfortable you could sleep on it. 

The choice between a remodel and a renovation depends on the extent of changes you wish to make and the goals you want to achieve for your space. NJL Renovations will help you throughout the process, just start the conversation and let us know what you are looking to accomplish and we will guide you the rest of the way.
