Basement Renovation

My family was getting bigger, so we knew about the need for extra space. We took on a renovation of our basement to offer the kids more room to run and play, and a special guest suite so Mom and Dad's in-laws have a cozy place to stay in town when they come to visit! OnlyBasements team was friendly and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.

Everything we asked for was delivered, and if we wanted to add or change certain things (which was because we couldnt make are mind up) Our project manager Ray made the adjustments and delivered excellent quality of work. The owner Joseph was highly qualified and had a wealth of information. He guided us through the process and helped in making the key decisions. We now have practical and open space in our basement. Ray and his team of qualified trades surely did an excellent job and we are thrilled with the final outcome.

Basement Renovation

The process began with a thorough and detailed initial consultation. They took their time to understand my vision and budget. They provided valuable insights, creative suggestions, and a clear roadmap for next steps.

The attention to detail in every aspect of the renovation was remarkable. Whether it was the early stage of framing or finishing touches, the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. There were no hidden costs or surprises along the way. The initial quote was accurate, and any changes or additions were clearly communicated and discussed before proceeding. They maintained a clean work environment and were always courteous. It was clear that they took pride in their work and cared about my satisfaction. The project was completed within the promised timeframe, which is quite impressive.

The project manager, Ray, proved to be remarkably easy to deal with throughout the entire process, and working with him was a true pleasure. We extend our gratitude to Only Basements and their entire team.

We are absolutely in love with our transformed basement!

Basement Reno

I want to express my appreciation for the work done by Only Basements at my home in East York. The team not only brought my idea and vision to life, The construction process was remarkably smooth and far easier than I had anticipated. I must especially thanks Ray, my project manager, who guided me through the process. He also helped me with selecting bathroom tiles, fixtures, and other finishing elements. These tasks had been daunting for me to tackle alone, but Ray's accommodating and approachable nature made the process much easier. I sincerely hope that this review serves as a helpful resource for those seeking a reliable and trustworthy company for their basement project. Thank you team for the outstanding work.

Underpinning and finishing

My family recently had our basement renovated and I have to say, it was an amazing transformation! The team at Only Basements were great to work with. They helped us with the design and drawings we need for underpinning permit to increase the height of our basement as the original height was barley 6 feet. The impact of the underpinning was beyond what I expected! We have slightly over 8 ft now so Im very pleased with how it turned out. Our project manager Ray worked hard to ensure the job was done on time and with attention to detail. I also appreciate the good communication he provided. The finishing team took over after underpinning was completed. They were very quick, efficient, and punctual. The Flooring and carpentry was also done beautifully. Overall a great experience and we extremely recommend them!

Basement renovation

This review has been long over due. We were truly fortunate to have picked Only Basements for our project. Its been over a year that weve been enjoying all the extra space in our basement. The team was courteous and accommodating to our wishes and their attention to detail was clear and noticeable.

Only Basements transformed my basement into a welcoming and comfortable living space. I am very pleased with the result, and I would highly recommend this company. Our project manager Ray was professional, knowledgeable, and delivered a great product. He provided excellent customer service and always consulted with us on all the key decisions to ensure we were happy every step of the way.

Basement Renovation

This is one of the best experiences I have had working with a contractor. This is my 2rd basement renovation and I couldnt be more pleased. Only Basements were very professional throughout the whole renovation. Communication was on point, and so was my budget!! Working from home and having your house go through a reno can be hard to deal with, but these guys were great right from the get go. They gave me a heads up when things might get a little too loud and were even considerate of my neighbours. My finished basement is exactly what I wanted (and needed)! Everything from the design and the quality of work to the smallest detail were done right. Highly Recommend!

Basement renovation

Since COVID, my husband and I are both working from home, and I’m sure thats the case for many of you reading this review. With us both and the kids being at home, we decided to renovate our basement to increase our space. Looking for the right contractor we came across onlybasements and few others on HomeStars. We couldn’t have picked a better team to work with us and I’m confident to say, if you’re looking to get your basement renovated by a professional crew, Only Basements is the right firm for you. Thank you Ray and Joseph for our new basement and we hope anyone who has the pleasure of working with you guys will come out as satisfied as we are.

Basement Renovation

We hired OnlyBasements to completely renovate our basement which included a full interior demolition and moving the utilities. In order to completely open up the basement space, Joseph recommended altering the support structure of the main floor which would allow us to remove a beam in the basement that would have restricted the layout. This was significant additional work that we weren’t necessarily prepared for, however in the end, we are glad we followed Joesph’s advice, and we more than happy with how everything turned out. Joseph also made sure to address any minor details we brought up along the way, and his team worked many long hours to get it all done within a reasonable time frame. Thank you OnlyBasements for our great new space!

Basement Renovation

Bought a rental house and converted the decrepit old basement into a two-bedroom apartment. OnlyRenos and our Project Manager, Joseph, did a great job and the end product is fantastic. The end product is exactly what we expected and is based on our fixed price. Joseph included all extras at a very fair and reasonable price and was willing to accomodate all our requests. The team was respectful and very customer-service oriented throughout. Would definitely use this company/Joseph again.

Basement Renovation

We had a great experience with Only Basements. My husband and I felt most comfortable with them in comparison to other companies mostly due to a provided detailed proposal as well as the milestone payment plan allowing for us pay upon completion of each phase of the project. They were the only company who offered architectural design and the underpinning drawings we needed but more importantly included application for permits on our behalf which was very reassuring. Each phase of the project was explained to us in great detail by Joseph who was our project manager. The communication was great! He always made himself available and let us pick his brain when it came to choosing fixtures and finishes which made the process so much easier.

The quality and hard work of the trades did not go unnoticed. They were very respectful of our home and always made sure the house was spotless before leaving for the day. The project ran slightly over the initial timeline, but Joseph went above and beyond to accommodate the delay. We are very happy with the outcome and it was an absolute pleasure working with Joseph and his team!
