The Problem We Solve

Why homeowners in Montreal choose us

An unfinished basement is wasted space in one of Montreal's most expensive housing markets. Many homeowners delay the project because they are not sure where to start, who to call, or what it will actually cost. Others have started and run into moisture problems or permit complications that stalled the project. We bring a clear process, realistic pricing, and the trades to complete the job - including handling every permit requirement.

How long does a basement renovation take?

Do I need a permit for a basement renovation in Montreal?
Yes. Most basement renovations in Montreal require building permits, particularly when adding a bathroom, new electrical circuits, or creating a secondary suite. Apex Groupe Construction handles all required permits.
Can you build a legal rental unit in my basement?
Yes. We can build a secondary suite with a separate entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, and all required systems. We manage the permit process and ensure the unit meets Montreal building code requirements.
How do you handle moisture in Montreal basements?
We assess for moisture and water infiltration before framing begins. If issues are identified, we address them before starting the renovation. We also use moisture-resistant materials in appropriate areas.
What kind of flooring works best for a finished basement?
We recommend luxury vinyl plank or engineered hardwood for most basement applications - both are moisture-tolerant and look great. We discuss all flooring options during the estimate process.
