Kozak Renovations’ Expertise in Basement Transformations
At Kozak Renovations, we do more than create beautiful basements. We set the standard for renovations in Toronto. For over ten years, we have been proud to say we are experts in basement makeovers. We believe every client deserves a space that fits their lifestyle. We have transformed 320 basements into cozy and useful areas, like family rooms, media lounges, or wet bars.
We also get how unique many Toronto basements are. So, we feel proud of our way to solve problems. We have created several smart basement solutions. Some are tricky and some are more common fixes. These include clever methods to control moisture, lighting tips that can make the darkest basement feel bright, and space-saving ideas that can make you feel your basement is bigger than it really is. And we do all this while making sure not to miss any details in creating a great design.
Types of Basement Renovations Offered
At Kozak Renovations, we upgrade Toronto basements. When you fix up a basement, you are doing two main things. First, you make sure to complete the basic finishes. This helps the space become a true living area. Second, you make creative and practical design choices. These choices make the finished area unique. They can turn the basement into a storytelling "room." At Kozak, we feel that the basement, which often does not get attention, can be a lively part of your home's renovation. We see the basement as full of possibilities—like a blank canvas ready to be transformed. We want you to see your basement as an important part of your home, not just an afterthought. It can be the next exciting chapter in your living space.
Customized Design Solutions
At Kozak Renovations, we believe that basements can be great spaces. We love working on them. We are a design-build firm that focuses on basement renovations and everything that goes with it. We know a lot about low ceilings and the rules that some spaces need to follow. More importantly, we know how to mix modern design with practical ideas that show the special style and lifestyle of our homeowners in the Toronto area. You can have all the cool features you want, but if the layout does not work or the space is not useful, then what do you really have? Our team adds features like LED lighting, which is great for low spaces and is not just an extra thought. We see our basement renovation as an "up" renovation, not a "down" one. We also make sure to listen to and involve our clients in the design process.
Quality Materials and Workmanship
At Kozak Renovations, we understand that homeowners want their basements to feel beautiful and elegant. They also want to feel secure about their investment. That's why we use high-quality materials and focus on the details to make sure every project is great. With over ten years of experience, our team is skilled at handling the special challenges of basement renovations. We do this with care and detail, making us a top choice in this area. More than 320 happy customers have enjoyed the spaces we created. We believe these safe, beautiful, and lasting designs will make them feel happy for years to come.
Compliance with Toronto Building Codes and Regulations
Following rules and regulations is important for more than just saying, “I did a good job.” It is about understanding that these rules are in place for the safety of the people we help, as well as for the building. It deals with what happens when the stress of everyday use and weather occurs. When a building is not well-designed or built correctly, mistakes show up in the daily lives of those living there. They often do not see it, but they are in a space that could be much safer and more comfortable if these errors had not been made. Kozak Renovations believes in this simple idea: “Following the Code IS Safety.”
Commitment to Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Practices
Kozak Renovations understands how important sustainable home renovations are today. In a city like Toronto, we provide more than just eco-friendly materials, like bamboo flooring and recycled glass tiles. We also design smart solutions that help our clients save around 25% on energy bills. Features such as strong insulation, top-quality windows, and new heating and cooling systems are essential parts of our designs. Our commitment to the environment goes beyond just indoor renovations. We recycle everything we can, like roofing shingles and old doorknobs, to keep waste to a minimum. We even teach the young people we hire during the summer about sustainable building practices while they help us sort and save our used materials.
Our Renovation and Construction Process Our Process
Initial Consultation
Our partnership starts with several meetings. Each one is important, but the first one is the most important. In the first meeting, we dig deep. We do not just look at what you want for the project. We also explore why you have those desires. Together, we find out what real success means for your basement transformation. We also discuss the appearance, budget, and timeline. In every conversation, we focus on you. This way, everything that happens in this project truly shows who you are and is a success for you.
Site Evaluation
Before we create any design drawings, we need to know the land first. The next step is to carefully check the site. Our experienced team will examine every part of your space. We look for the unique features of your basement. From important structural details to tricky design elements, we find all the hidden factors that might affect your plans. This way, when we start construction, it will be organized and run smoothly.
Our kitchen showroom is a great place to look at kitchen cabinets, glass tiles, and other materials. This way, you can pick the best finishing touches. The design stage is very important.

FAQ
What can I expect from a Toronto basement renovation contractor?
You should look for a trusted basement renovation contractor who offers a wide range of services. This includes design and planning, not only for the basement but also for how it fits with the whole house. It also means helping with the different permits and inspections needed for the project. The contractor should be involved in all parts of the work, including the finishing touches to make the basement feel like a real home.
How long does the average basement renovation take in Toronto?
It depends. How long a basement renovation takes relies on three main things: the basement’s state before work began, the number of workers on the job, and if the design is simple or difficult. A simple project can take about 4 to 6 weeks.
How much does it typically cost to renovate a basement in Toronto?
The cost of renovating a basement in Toronto is often between $30,000 and $100,000. However, the final price can change a lot. This depends on three main things: the work needed, the materials used, and the labor costs.
Is a permit required for a basement renovation in Toronto?
Most basement renovation projects in Toronto require a permit. The City of Toronto does not give permits for free, so you will need to pay for it. The permit cost depends on the value of your project. You will usually need to pay between 1.1% and 1.4% of the project value. However, your contractor should take care of everything under the 1.4% limit.
What is the best way to make certain that my basement renovation is safe and to code?
Hire a contractor from Ontario who is licensed, insured, and certified by the Ontario College of Trades. They must follow safety rules, obtain the correct permits, and accept inspections.
Can I save money by doing some of the basement renovation work myself?
You can try to do some parts of the project on your own. But keep in mind that a basement plays a key role in your home’s structure. Experts have the skills to make sure it is safe for you and your family.
What is the process for selecting appropriate materials for a basement renovation?
When picking materials for your basement renovation, think about their durability and how easy they are to take care of. Also, consider how they will look. “A good contractor will help you with these choices,” Ellen says, “and they will know how to keep you within building codes and rules.”
What kind of warranty or guarantee can a homeowner expect from a basement renovation contractor in Toronto?
Contractors with a good reputation often offer a warranty or guarantee for their work. This usually lasts from 1 to 5 years. About half of these contractors seem to stick to a 2-year period.
What’s the best way to deal with unforeseen challenges that pop up during a basement renovation?
The best step to take is to talk freely with your contractor. A good contractor will have a plan for handling surprises that can come up during a basement renovation. You should also ask for updates from them often.
