WELCOME TO PENGUIN BASEMENTS

A basement isn’t just the foundation of your home, it can be the foundation of a better life.

Nothing beats a finished basement as the most cost-effective way to add living space or rental income to your home. Contrary to what others may have you believe, a basement build can take as little as 2-weeks, or depending on the level of customization, more than a month. We begin with a free in-home estimate, and then we work directly with you to design, schedule and build your perfect basement. Our Smart Basements™ only use mold-free, well-insulated and fire rated material appropriate for a basement build and covered by a transferable limited lifetime warranty. The workmanship is covered by our standard 2-year warranty. And as we’re a Consumer’s Choice and Best of HomeStars award-winner, you can rest assured in the knowledge that each and every build we do is fully permitted and inspected to protect the homeowner. We can even help you with financing if required.

Give Penguin Basements a call today at 416-633-7180 and we’ll show you how your basement can be the foundation for an enriched home life

Some companies promise to build you a basement in 3 weeks. We build you a basement for life.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We had an excellent experience with all the staff at Penguin Basements from our first meeting, through to the end of the project. All the contractors we met throughout the project who worked on the basement were professional and did an amazing job. We can't wait to use our additional living space to entertain our family and friends!
Linda - Ajax
The Penguin process worked well for us and the people who worked on our basement were professional, appear very skilled, and were aware and courteous of the intrusion their work had on our family's life. Penguin Basements more than met our expectations.
David - Newmarket
The basement came out better than we had planned! We have already recommended Penguin to our colleagues and friends! Thank you Penguin for an amazing experience and for giving us an awesome living space that our family will be sure to enjoy for years to come!
Chris - Stouffville
Everyone at Penguin was very professional and helpful in our project. Not only was it finished on time and on budget but it also has a very solid construction. We are very pleased with the quality of the workmanship.

"It came together ABOVE what I had imagined."
David - Toronto
"After 8 years in my house I finally had it with the messy basement. I called Penguin Basements and asked them for their advice on a design. I was really impressed by all the designs and concepts Alexander created. He advised me on all my choices, gave me a great price and completed the job in just 16 days, from start to finish. They carefully cleaned up after themselves and were always anxious to accommodate me. I'm very pleased! Thanks Again!"
Cathy & Bruce Richmond Hill
"We could not have asked for more from a renovation company. For starters, our consultant was very knowledgeable. He knew exactly what we had in mind and met all of our requirements. Secondly, the installers were professional and efficient. Finally the basement has been a tremendous addition to our home as Greg and Mary now have a place to play with all their toys."
James & Lisa Richmond Hill
"Dear Penguin Basements, we are still raving about the quality of the job that was done in our basement. We especially feel a big difference when the temperatures hit the freezing mark! Hats off to your crew for a great job repairing the cracked walls and finishing off the basement. Thanks again for a job well done!"
