Reclaim the space you already own.
Turn an unused basement into a suite, home office, gym or rec room — fully permitted, insulated and finished to the same standard as the rest of your home.
Your basement is the most cost-effective square footage in your home — space you're already paying for but not using. Pro Con Property Services turns it into finished, comfortable living space that feels like a natural extension of the house, not an afterthought below it.
What a basement project with us includes
- Legal secondary suites and in-law suites
- Home offices, gyms, theatres and rec rooms
- Egress windows, permits and code compliance
- Moisture control, insulation and vapour barriers
- Bathrooms, kitchenettes, flooring and lighting
We get the basics right before the finishes
A beautiful basement built over a moisture problem won't stay beautiful. We start with the fundamentals — drainage, moisture control, insulation and proper egress — so the finished space is dry, warm, safe and up to code. Only then do the finishes go in.
Income potential, done legally
Thinking about a rental or in-law suite? We build legal secondary suites that meet code for ceiling height, egress, fire separation and a separate entrance — permitted and inspected, so it's an asset, not a liability.

Basement finishing FAQs
How long does it take to finish a basement?
Most basement finishing projects take 6 to 10 weeks. A simple open rec room is faster, while a full legal secondary suite with a kitchen, bathroom, egress windows and separate entrance takes longer. We confirm your schedule in writing before work begins.
Can you build a legal basement apartment or in-law suite?
Yes. We build legal secondary suites that meet building code for ceiling height, egress windows, fire separation and a separate entrance. We handle the permits and inspections so your rental or in-law suite is fully compliant.
How do you deal with basement moisture and dampness?
We address moisture before framing begins — assessing grading and drainage, sealing where needed, and using moisture-tolerant materials, proper insulation and vapour control. Finishing over a damp basement is the fastest way to ruin the work, so we get the foundation dry first.
Do I need permits to finish my basement?
In most cases, yes — especially when adding bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen or a secondary suite. We pull the required building, plumbing and electrical permits and coordinate inspections as part of the project.
Will a finished basement add value to my home?
A finished basement adds usable living space at a lower cost per square foot than an addition, and a legal secondary suite can generate rental income. Both can meaningfully increase your home's value and appeal.
