Scarborough Basement Renovation & Finishing Contractor

Are you thinking about renovating your basement in the region of Scarborough? A finished basement offers you far more opportunities than you can ever imagine.

What Do I Get from Penguin Basements?

Our staff at Penguin Basements have been diligently trained in the art of basement finishing over the past 10 years with high-quality service, both effective and efficient coupled with customer service that actually takes into account the views, opinions, and thoughts of the clients.

We understand that a basement renovation is unfortunately not as easy as it may sound and especially for a single individual, it may seem like an impossible DIY task. But don’t worry, we’re here to back you up. We are the proud winner of GTA Consumer Choice Award in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 and pride ourselves on serving our customers only the best.

We also ensure that we take responsibility by giving you a safety belt in case anything were ever to happen. Penguin Basements provides you with:

A Minimum Two-Year Warranty on All Projects: To ensure that you always get what you pay for, no more and no less.
Clear Safety Measures: COVID has made businesses adapt to the new health landscape. Our services such as consultations, estimates, and design modeling through the use of 3D virtual tours are all provided to minimize contact between us and the client to ensure maximum safety and well being.
We also offer a 6mm polyethylene barrier between the basement and the rest of the home to limit contamination throughout the home. This allows us to get our work done as quickly and efficiently as possible while also allowing you to go about your day uninterrupted.
Wide Showcase Selection: If you are the type of person where you have to see to believe, we offer a wide range of showcase basements across the GTA. Visit our Events Page to find a showcase basement in a neighbourhood near you to find the best style to suit your basement needs.

Basement for Personal Use

Your basement will be designed in cooperation with our experienced team of designers, builders, and legal experts.

1. Personal Gym: With everything being constantly closed and reopened every couple of weeks, the only reliable infrastructure is what’s at home. Investing in a home gym gives you the freedom to work out as much as you want, with as little distractions as possible and whenever you want.
2. Secluded Office Space: With more and more people working remotely, office space in the home is becoming a necessity. Getting work done in a quiet, comfortable environment free from distractions is even more important when you have kids running around in the home after school.
3. Keeping the Kids Active: Nowadays it’s a struggle to get them off their phones and on their feet. Install a playground, maybe foam tiles and blocks, or a room for all the toy cars, trucks, and dollhouses. For the older ones, you can create a sports condominium. Mini soccer, table tennis, futsal and pool, anything they could ever want.
4. Movie Night for All: Imagine a closed off room, with comfy leather reclining chairs and a large screen playing your favourite movies. All you’re missing is the popcorn!

Second Suites – Easy Money, Easy Living

Second suites are enclosed living spaces separated from the rest of your either detached, semi-detached, or linked housing dwelling. These include all the amenities necessary to be self-sufficient such as bedding, a kitchen, and bathroom facilities.

Installing an extra kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom in your basement not only lets you have your parents or other family members have a place to stay when they come over but also a way to earn some much needed extra income.

1. - Easily earn hundreds if not thousands monthly
  - Legal rental for foreign exchange students, Airbnb, and more
  - Use extra income for personal use (i.e. save money for financing tuition for children, purchase additional property as an investment, pay off the mortgage, debt consolidation)

Financing – How to Get In Touch

Penguin Basements understands the difficult situation families may find themselves in. That’s why we offer numerous deals and discounts for families across Ontario.

1. - Financing basements for as little as $87 a week
  - Coupons to pay 0% for first 6 months or 5% for 12 months.
  - Offering a wide range of payment plans from 12 months to 36 months.

What Our Customers Are Saying

”great job, quality, customer service, value for money, and over all excellent job!“
Anonymous on HomeAdvisor
”We recently used Penguin Basements to finish our basement in Newmarket, Ontario. We had seen their sign around town, and figured we should inquire about their service and finishing system. We did inquire with some other companies as well, but found Penguins' presentation made the most sense for us. We are pleased to say that everything — from the first response of our inquiry, to the finished product — has been very seamless and actually quite enjoyable.“
Dennis Foot on Facebook
”Guy... what to say?! What a guy! had the pleasure of speaking with him this evening and all I can say is that he knows housing. so informative, fun and really a helpful guy. Very honest. actually helped convince us of what needs to be done. even though he told us that renovating our basement is actually not a good idea he took the time to go over with us some other options. Eye opener! Thanks Guy.“
Francesca D'Angelo on Facebook
’Claudio, our finishing supervisor should get an 11/10. He showed incredible professionalism, skill, and commitment to making the customer happy.“
Qasim Khan on Houzz
”Basement Bliss. No contracting work proceeds without a hiccup, but it's how you contractor deals with such issues that shows whether they care about the customer or just the money. It's obvious that everyone at this company is passionate about what they do. Highly recommended.“
Reg on Trustpilot
”It was a great experience from their initial guidance in design to the final project. Biggest pros - quality of work and accountability. The builder trend app is fantastic. It was an aggressive schedule but they delivered. And our project lead Alan was exceptional. Cons - there were a few disconnects early with the demo phase. And the work comes at a significant premium, so the benefits (quick completion, accountability, quality) need to be worth it. For us they were.’
Brad on Homestars
“I wanted to thank Dan and Josh for their outstanding and professional service! I hired them to finish my basement and our basement now looks amazing. I highly appreciate their work quality and material selection!”
John T on Google
”I always had concerns about which company to use to finish my basement. Penguin Basements put me at ease, from the sales person Dan who brought an floorpan that I would never have considered, to Vince, the project manner, who kept me well informed and made sure the project was done to the highest of standards. There were no real surprises along the way, and they made sure we were happy every step. Fantastic Job.”
Todd on Homestars
”We had an excellent experience with all the staff at Penguin Basements from our first meeting, through to the end of the project. All the contractors we met throughout the project who worked on the basement were professional and did an amazing job. We can't wait to use our additional living space to entertain our family and friends!”
Linda in Ajax
”The Penguin process worked well for us and the people who worked on our basement were professional, appear very skilled, and were aware and courteous of the intrusion their work had on our family's life. Penguin Basements more than met our expectations.“

"It came together ABOVE what I had imagined."
David in Toronto
"We recently moved into our new home (2009) and we planned on finishing our basement. Our neighbours across the street had your sign on the lawn so we decided to see the completed work. It looked professional and we then requested a quote. 3 weeks later we had a brand new finished basement, simply amazing and thanks for everything."
Jeff and Amanda in Richmond Hill
"Just a note to let everyone at Penguin Basements know how pleased I am with my new Basement. Your three-man crew was amazing! They started at 9am, and by 3 that afternoon, they had already framed half of the perimeter of the basement. Two weeks later the job was completed and all the debris was removed. Thank you for a great job! We couldn't be happier. I will definitely recommend your company to family and friends."
John and Rebecca in Maple
"We could not have asked for more from a Renovation Company. For starters, our consultant was very knowledgeable. He knew exactly what we had in mind and met of all of our requirements Secondly the installers were professional and efficient. And finally the basement has been a tremendous addition to our home as Greg and Mary now have a place to play with all their toys."
James and Lisa in Oakville
"After 8 years in my house I finally had it with the messy basement. I called Penguin Basements and asked them for their advice on a design. I was really impressed by all the designs and concepts Alexander created. He advised me on all my choices, gave me a great price and completed the job in just 16 days, from start to finish. They carefully cleaned up after themselves and were always anxious to accommodate me. I'm very pleased! Thanks Again!"
