Remodel Construction undertook a major revamp of our basement rec room approximately 15 years ago. [tired plywood paneling, no wall insulation] Very recently our next door neighbor sold their home to a contractor who specializes in doing major renovations to old tired homes, and then reselling them. I had him view our basement, since it's exactly the same shape and size as next door. The room is 40 x 15 feet. His first comment was "wow it's so warm down here !" [and this was during the daytime with the heat off]. As he looked around he said that Remodel had done a very good job. Drywall seams were excellent and accurate. The room is heavily insulated and keeps really warm in winter. The quality of the finish really means that we have two lovely floors of home. The cost was very reasonable and Remodel did a very good job of keeping things neat and tidy during their work. We are most grateful for all their work

Hello Micheal, wow has it been that long since we finished your basement? It's amazing how time goes by so fast. We are pleased to hear how much warmer your basement is now compared to before you renovated. Staying on top of the OBC (Ontario Building Code) was the main reason your basement feeling and being warmer. Putting tar paper on the outside walls to stop water penetrating the insulation from the foundation walls was the first step. Using the correct insulation in the walls was the next step and using the correct vapour barrier on the walls and around the plugs, including installing tuct tape to seal any seams is critical to creating the vapour barrier to keep the cold out. We are confident to say that by you insulating your basement properly has saved you quite a lot of money on your energy bills over the years. Thank you very much for your review and your kind words about our company. We hope all is well with you and you continue to enjoy your basement.
