5 Reasons Why Basement Renovations in Oakville are Worth the Investment

Posted on March 21, 2024

When it comes to an Oakville basement renovation, there’s plenty of things to keep in mind. Differentiating between which changes are absolutely necessary and which are just nice to have. Deciding what purpose the space will serve in your daily routine. And of course, analyzing if it’s worth the investment. That value can be both financial and experiential. For example, what is the value of a quiet home office, or a private gym? Financially, it can save you money on a commute or membership, but experientially, it can help you to get more enjoyment from your day-to-day life.

When you work with experienced renovation contractors like those at Rose Building Group, you get expert advice on how you can get the best return on investment for your upgrade. Read on!

Increased Living Space

5 Reasons Why Basement Renovations in Oakville are Worth the Investment Having a renovated basement area that you actually enjoy spending time in is a game changer. It can almost double the usable square footage of your home and give you more space for the things you love to do. Film fans can have a dedicated movie room, bookworms can have their cozy reading nooks and weight lifters can have their own private gym. The best part of a basement renovation is that you can make it your own. Unlike a kitchen, bathroom or bedroom upgrade, your basement can serve whatever functionality your home may need.

When you work with experienced renovation contractors, like those at Rose Building Group, you can rest assured that your basement will fit your unique living needs. With no commitment required for inquiries and site visits, the Rose Building Group team can help you see the potential in your new living space and bring your dream to life.

Increased Home Value

A top factor in analyzing the return on investment of any home renovation is assessing how it will affect your home's resale value. While most renovations have a net positive impact on the home’s value, basement renovations specifically can recoup an estimated 70 percent of their initial costs. It can also make your home easier to sell. Newly renovated homes tend to spend significantly less time on the market since potential buyers can be confident that the home is up to date.

Whether you’re looking to renovate and sell quickly, or you plan to make a few more memories in your home before moving out, a quality basement renovation can still be helpful. With the expert renovation contractors at Rose Building Group, you can find guidance on how to make the most fiscally sound choices throughout the renovation process.

Additional Rental Income

If you’re looking for a more immediate financial gain and your family doesn’t need the increased living space, then creating a legal rental suite might be the way to go. Having a rental unit is one of the top ways to earn passive income. The rental income can help you off-set any other expenses you and your family have, including paying your mortgage.

The expert renovation contractors at Rose Building Group have years of experience helping homeowners turn their basements into apartments for rent. When these renovations are done correctly, they can give you a regularly flowing supplementary income that can help pay off the renovations quickly. Having a secondary suite can also be a benefit when it comes time to resell your home as it can pass on earnings to the next owner.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Every year energy efficient technology becomes more accessible and affordable, which means there’s a constant flow of new and better ways to save. Though you clearly won’t be investing in renovations with every new advancement that comes along, it is worth considering, when was the last time you renovated? How much advancement have you missed out on? What can you do to renew your energy efficiency?

Energy efficiency can cover a lot of things. It can easily swap out appliances including laundry machines that use less water or light fixtures that work on a timer to conserve more energy. However, it can also include more complicated work such as updated insulation, tightly sealed windows and upgraded plumbing. Though these require a professional renovation contractor, they can lead to huge savings over time. Contact the team at Rose Building Group today to find out how your home can become more energy efficient.

Enhanced Home Functionality

For most homeowners, getting the most functionality out of your home is a constant struggle. As the years go by, your family, and your family’s needs change, your definition of functionality changes too. By working with Rose Building Group, you can take time to assess your family’s needs and create a game plan on how your Oakville basement renovation can transform your home’s functionality.

Adding areas specific to your family like a kids playroom, a home office or a yoga studio can reinvigorate your space. You can also include more practical additions that make sense for your home. Giving your basement a three-piece bathroom, kitchenette, or a family room can help move traffic downstairs and alleviate some of the congestion in the rest of your home. With advice from the professionals at Rose Building Group you can find a design for your basement that transforms your home’s functionality.

Matthew and his team at Rose Building Group have completed 2 projects for us. A couple of years ago we completed a main floor renovation, which included a complete kitchen reno. Just recently we completed a master bathroom renovation. The work for both projects was impeccable. Really high quality workmanship, and incredible attention to detail.

The quality of the work is truly second to none. What impresses me the most about this company, however, is the people. They are all kind, warm, genuine, and professional. I enjoyed having them in my home, and was very comfortable. It is clear that they are committed to delivering a very high level of customer service and satisfaction through both the work they do, and they way they engage with the client. It's really impressive.

We recently completed our home renovation with Rose Building Group, which included a full renovation of both the interior and exterior of our house. We feel that we could not have picked a better company to do this extensive project. When Matt first came to our house to give us a quote we could tell instantly the professionalism and attention to detail he has when looking at a project. Throughout the entire renovation, Matt was easy to get in touch with, either by phone or email, which made it less daunting on my Wife and I whenever we had questions or wanted to add something. Matt was always upfront whenever issues arose (this was bound to happen during a full renovation of an old house) and always came prepared with possible solutions for us.

His staff always presented themselves as professionals. They were very respectful when speaking to us, and with taking care of our property by cleaning up the interior and exterior before going home every night. We even had neighbours on our street comment on how well our place looked, even during the construction. It was obvious that they are a very hardworking company, dedicated to ensuring a smooth and timely renovation. Rose building group was on schedule, and completed our project by the date discussed by Matt, prior to them beginning.

If you are looking to complete a renovation of your home, rest assured that if you choose Rose Building Group, that you will not be disappointed. You will have a professional company, that will make your home beautiful!

We decided on Rose Building Group for our main floor renovation that started earlier this year. We have nothing but great things to say about RBG and the team.

At the beginning of the renovation we were provided with a renovation schedule so that we knew what would be happening on each day and we were most impressed at the adherence to this schedule. We were also provided a Scope of Work at the beginning of the project and any changes made along the way were clearly outlined.

Their communication during the renovation process was top notch and someone always got back to us very quickly.

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

Matthew and his team were amazing to work with. They recently completed a full basement renovation for my personal home. I work for Baudit Interior design and have worked with several contractors and was very impressed with their professionalism, correspondence, organization and can do attitude. The whole crew worked efficiently and diligently. They were kind, respectful of us and our home and kept a very tidy work space. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. I would and have recommended them for any future projects.

Matt has a great company with a team of highly skilled craftsmen. We originally contemplated a bathroom renovation project and expanded the scope to include new staircase, hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed led lighting throughout and painting top to bottom. Matt’s experience was extremely helpful in that he was able to guide us in making the right choices upfront to help modernize the look of our home. His detailed approach and project management thru his team ensured we got the results we were looking for and the highest quality or workmanship and finish. We are extremely happy with the results and feel like we are in a brand new home but better. Definitely a company to talk to about renovations.

Additionally, Matt and his team adhered to all COVID protocols at all times which was very reassuring given the scope of the project with most of the work over eight weeks occurring during the third wave while we continued to live and work from our home.

Rose Building Group completed a living room renovation for me. Matthew and his team were a pleasure to work with and very professional.

Matthews team were patient with any questions or concerns I had and took the time to explain what was happening during the project and addressed any concerns. They are very professional and CLEAN.

I really enjoyed working with Matt and his team and I am very pleased with the workmanship from the trades they used.

Matts team also took the time to do some repair work for me that had some damage.

I will use Rose Building Group for my next home renovation
