Stop risking fines or insurance voids; let local experts guarantee your basement passes final inspection.
Solving Hamilton's Unique Basement Challenges
Hamilton’s older homes—including century-era stone houses and post-war bungalows—often face 3 major roadblocks: low ceilings under 6’5″, single-pane windows failing egress rules, and shared HVAC systems. We fix these permanently. For pre-1980s homes, we engineer ceiling lifts without compromising joist integrity. We install steel-lined egress wells meeting Hamilton Conservation floodplain and stormwater specs. Every suite gets dedicated electrical panels and HVAC zones – no more “shared air” rejections from Hamilton inspectors. Plus: We source materials locally through Hamilton Home Hardware to speed up projects.
