Quality work at a price you can trust!
A simple basement renovation can take your basement from a dark and unused space to a new, bright, modern finished living space. Maximizing the usable space within your home is a smart investment. Keeping your home in good repair and designed for your enjoyment are solid reasons for renovation. Basement renovations can yield new favourite spaces, and unimagined amounts of space within your own home. Capitalizing on layout, stair placement and methods to condense your furnace room are all strategies to optimize the available floor space and create the living space you dream of. It's an exciting opportunity and our team of professional renovation craftsmen is ready to do the work for you.
Old Castle Renovations has an extensive background to turn your basement into a gathering place for friends and family. Lower levels of light and cozy spaces in a basement are ideal for a new home theatre and entertainment centre. Extending the space with a pool table and a bar area with high stools and a tv behind the bar provide lots of areas for all ages to enjoy. Our team includes experienced designers and installers of high quality audio and visual technology to provide a truly immersed theatre and entertainment experience.
A home gym may be the convenient solution for all your health and fitness needs. Custom flooring can be installed to define the exercise area and accommodate weights, treadmill, spin cycle or rower. A wall mounted tv linked with internet and an audio system offers versatility to follow a spin class, display the Workout Of the Day (WOD), upload a hill running program or catch up with the world news and local events. A kitchenette with a mini island provides the amenities to prepare a morning protein shake and a coffee while cooling down and watching tv or listening to music, giving you a few moments of peace. An adjacent spa-quality custom bathroom finishes the new space to efficiently get you ready to launch into your busy day.

The pleasure of a bright, clean and tidy laundry area cannot be undermined. Quality lighting is available to brighten a basement area to please your laundress, or layer lighting with the natural light coming through a basement window. The solid concrete foundation of a basement provides an excellent base to lay new flooring, and set and level your washer and drying machines. With optimal lighting, sewing and ironing areas can be incorporated for a do-it-all laundry space. Wall-mounted drying racks can provide exponential drying space for fine washables and cottons. Cabinetry surrounding and countertop overlaying washer and drying machines provides much needed storage space to maintain a clean, tidy work area and countertop for folding and repairing clothes. Include new steam cleaning technology or capitalize on the basement door to the backyard clothesline. The sky is the limit! The basement might provide the space to turn laundry into less of a chore.
Away from the hustle of daily family life, the basement may be the perfect place for a new home office. In a self-contained work area you can maximize your productivity in an environment that can take your business to the next level. Building a dedicated office space where project materials can remain spread out without threat of being disturbed, and whiteboards can remain filled with ideas, lists and drawings is a true pleasure. Layering the space with a mini kitchenette for making coffee or tea and a mini fridge and cabinets for snacks will optimize how this space will support your work. A lounge area with comfortable chairs and coffee table would provide an informal meeting area. Adding conferencing and audiovisual technology to integrate with your computer could optimize conference calls and off-site working experience. We seamlessly incorporate these technologies into any home.
Separate bedroom and bathroom for houseguests is a wonderful hospitality that is greatly appreciated. Whether for an overnight or an extended stay, a dedicated guest room with an ensuite bathroom provides comfort to all family members, both those visiting and those who must continue with their work, school and extracurricular schedules during the visit. With custom showers, tile installation, and custom flooring options, your guest room and ensuite bathroom can be as stunning and stylish as they are functional. When houseguests are gone you have a beautiful new bathroom to ease the use on the other bathrooms in your home or provide a convenient alternative for early risers to quietly start their day. Let Old Castle Renovations show you the advantages for using basement space to improve living in your home.
