Basement Renovation in Embro
Basement renovation for Embro and the surrounding Zorra Township countryside, northwest of Woodstock.
Embro and the country around it have a lot of older houses, and older houses here mean older basements. Stone and rubble foundations, block walls added under later additions, low ceilings and floors that were poured in patches over the years. Rural properties around the village add their own considerations, including private wells and septic systems. A basement bathroom on a septic system is its own conversation, because the system has to have the capacity for the extra use, and the township building department is the one to confirm that. Farmhouse basements are also where the most honest advice is sometimes to leave part of the cellar as mechanical and storage space and finish the part that has the height and stays dry. Where the house is worth it and the space is too low, lowering or underpinning the basement is an engineered, permitted job that the contractor will price separately from the finish so you can see both numbers. Newer homes around Embro finish like any poured basement. Permits come from the Township of Zorra, and travel is built into the quote up front.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more to work outside Woodstock?
Not inside the city. For Ingersoll, Tavistock, Innerkip, Embro, Beachville and the rest of Oxford County, travel is built into the quote up front rather than added afterwards, so the number you agree to is the number.
Can you work while we live upstairs?
Yes, and nearly every basement job is exactly that. It means a dust barrier at the top of the stairs, a covered path to the door, and a plan for the laundry and the furnace room while the space is torn up. The noisy stretch is demolition and any concrete cutting, and you get told when those days are.
