Adding a walkout basement is quickly becoming one of our most requested services for basement renovations across Durham region and the Greater Toronto Area. The main benefits of a walkout basement are better lighting, increased value, potential income and having an additional exit.

Better Lighting

A walkout basement includes adding an extra door and possibly egress windows which allow more natural light in the space and alleviate the dark, underground feeling typically associated with a standard basement. This helps to create a warm and inviting space that you will want to spend time in with friends and family.

Potential Income

Adding a walkout basement creates a completely separate entrance to your basement. This allows you to turn your basement into a rental apartment or even an Air BnB to generate additional income. A walkout basement can help generate an extra income without invading on your privacy or space.

Increased Value

A walkout basement does not add additional square footage to your home but it can have a very positive impact on its value. Buyers will see the flexibility that a walk out basement offers, whether it’s space for their parents to live in or even an additional rental income.

Additional Exit

An additional exit has many advantages including, moving furniture in or having another exit in case of an emergency. A walkout basement helps to promote a good flow for entertaining with guests, allowing them to move seamlessly from indoors to outdoors.
