Basement Renovation

Since our basement was going to be used as a play area for our young children, we were very particular about what products would be used in our basement. The team at Penguin Basements was excellent about alleviating all of our concerns and helped us select the right materials to make our basement warm, well lit, and safe for our babies. The construction crew was especially incredible. Their workmanship was excellent and they took great care and pride in their work and ensured that there was no damage to our home. They were always considerate of our family needs and worked hard to ensure that the project was completed on time. And now, our babies are having a wonderful time playing in their new play zone. That’s enough proof to us that we selected the right company for this project.

Basement Reno

My parents initially had a private contractor perform a basement renovation which resulted in poor quality of work being done and it did not resolve the problem of having cold draft. They were recommended to speak to Penguin Basements. Penguin Basements provided great insulated and waterproofing. They were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Overall, my parents were pleased to have their basement useable throughout the year after having Penguin Basements assist them.

Basement Recon

After many winters the damage in my basement was becoming horrendous. The guys at Penguin were able to sit down and explain my options and even offered professional opinion, this is important because I didn't have a clue what to do about it or why. Now instead of a Dangerous liability beneath my home I know have that much more Enjoyable living space in my Home...

Thanks Guys for your Expert advice and Wonderful Customer service.

Flawless basement renovation

We hired Penguin Basements to finish our basement this year. The whole process with these guys was different from the rest. From when their designer came over to meet us, he gave us a quote while he was over! None of the other guys did that.

Penguin offered us financing, which we signed up with, so we didn’t have to go out of pocket for the whole renovation! They executed the basement finishing flawlessly, and we are so happy have the extra space!

Penguin Basements renovated our basement which took about 6 weeks. It was very clean, they kept everything very neat, very professional. We felt confident in their work. We really liked the crew they sent us, they were very professional, efficient and honest. Overall I’m very pleased and would recommend them to our friends and family!

I can speak to the product as working as advertised.
The winter season was very cold and long. I was performing a basement renovation over the winter and had the opportunity to discover all the foundation drafts, and concrete, insulation/waterproofing faults in my home. Penguin Basements' panels provided a much more warmly insulated and waterproof basement than I would have otherwise experienced with the same financial investment. Their service was helpful and accommodating to my needs. I had an excellent experience with Penguin Basements service and products.

We choose to go with penguin basements because of the way everything is broken up, so that everyone does what they specialize in. There was a plumber who did all the plumbing, contractors who put up drywall, electrician who worked on all the electrical work. There was even a guy who just worked on the carpet. My wife and I were really impressed with this and preferred it over some other finished basement companies that have contractors do everything and some stuff that might not be their strength.

Me and my family would recommend Penguin Basement to anyone on any budget. They are very flexible and work with you to get the basement you dreamed of. My family was very impressed by the work done in the basement washroom, the stand shower was done very well. Our home theatre also turned out great and was exactly how we imagined it would be.
