WELCOME TO PENGUIN BASEMENTS

King City Basement Renovation & Finishing Contractor

Are you a resident of King City or surrounding areas and want to optimize your basement? Well, you’re in luck. With easy access from Highway 400, our head office can send you a team of diligent, experienced, and competent workers to your doorstep in a matter of minutes.

Regardless of what you plan to use a finished basement for, whether for personal use or for some extra income, you’ll need organized, experienced, and hardworking personnel to get the job done. Finishing a basement is not only the process of setting out floors, installing lighting, and painting walls but also a large amount of preparation.

Anyone can walk into a home and claim expertise in their field and construct a basement but it takes an experienced team to know how to plan it out.

Paying Attention To Detail

At Penguin Basements, we provide a detailed and comprehensive plan of action so that once initiated, nothing will be left in the dark and you will be the master of your own home. We start off with a quote. Penguin Basements provides free in-home or online estimates which can be applied for either by filling a form by clicking the ‘Free Estimate” button on your top right or giving us a call at 1-866-262-8298

Afterward, our team will go through an in-depth inspection of your basement and work around that and your vision to create a 3D virtual layout of your finished basement which can be viewed both in-person or online via Zoom call. These designs are to ensure maximum lighting and energy efficiency while preserving the aesthetic and your vision for the basement.

The Customer Is Always Right

We are very committed to our customer service. With a lifetime transferable warranty as well as a 2-year minimum warranty on all our work, we’re here to ensure that if you’re not satisfied with our work, we won’t leave you behind.

More than 80% of our basement builds have been as a result of referrals from friends, family, and neighbours which proves that we aren’t simply just any other basement renovation company spending money on our marketing budget.

All of this is made as easily accessible to you as possible through our financing programs which offer financing from as little as $87 per week with exclusive deals such as 0% for 6 months, a 12-month financing at a rate of 5%, and 36 months at a rate of 7%.

An often overlooked aspect of a basement finishing for personal use is legal rental. Renting out a self-contained dwelling unit in your residence (i.e. a basement with a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom) is called a second suite and has grown exponentially in demand in past years. Living in the GTA, tenants can earn substantial income on the side every month which can be used to save up for a vacation, pay for children’s tuitions or a new car.

What Are My Options?

1. Movie Theatre Extravaganza: Make a separate room with dim lighting and soundproof walls and install a giant flatscreen TV mounted on the wall. While inside, get some popcorn, sit down on the reclining chairs, and enjoy the movie theatre experience with the whole family in the comfort of your own home at any time.

2. Getting Down to Business: Nowadays, more and more people are working from home while the list of distractions grows longer as well. A checkered floor or perhaps smooth hardwood coupled with intricate decor and a bookshelf can make for a great office space. Space where you can be free to work and not be constantly bothered or distracted by the new show that’s on or the kids running loose in your room.

3. All-New Indoor Resort: Outfit your basement as a place to relax. Maybe have a place to hang out with the kids by installing a ping-pong table, futsal, air hockey or even mini soccer. You can set up a video game station for your teen or if you want to invite friends over for a late-night party, install a pool table.

4. The More People the Better: Speaking of friends, for those late night parties that go a bit too late or family coming to visit, having a place for them to stay can be a lifesaver. Add a bedroom and bathroom, maybe even a kitchen while you’re at it!

What Our Customers Are Saying

”great job, quality, customer service, value for money, and over all excellent job!“
Anonymous on HomeAdvisor
”We recently used Penguin Basements to finish our basement in Newmarket, Ontario. We had seen their sign around town, and figured we should inquire about their service and finishing system. We did inquire with some other companies as well, but found Penguins' presentation made the most sense for us. We are pleased to say that everything — from the first response of our inquiry, to the finished product — has been very seamless and actually quite enjoyable.“
Dennis Foot on Facebook
”Guy... what to say?! What a guy! had the pleasure of speaking with him this evening and all I can say is that he knows housing. so informative, fun and really a helpful guy. Very honest. actually helped convince us of what needs to be done. even though he told us that renovating our basement is actually not a good idea he took the time to go over with us some other options. Eye opener! Thanks Guy.“
Francesca D'Angelo on Facebook
’Claudio, our finishing supervisor should get an 11/10. He showed incredible professionalism, skill, and commitment to making the customer happy.“
Qasim Khan on Houzz
”Basement Bliss. No contracting work proceeds without a hiccup, but it's how you contractor deals with such issues that shows whether they care about the customer or just the money. It's obvious that everyone at this company is passionate about what they do. Highly recommended.“
Reg on Trustpilot
”It was a great experience from their initial guidance in design to the final project. Biggest pros - quality of work and accountability. The builder trend app is fantastic. It was an aggressive schedule but they delivered. And our project lead Alan was exceptional. Cons - there were a few disconnects early with the demo phase. And the work comes at a significant premium, so the benefits (quick completion, accountability, quality) need to be worth it. For us they were.’
Brad on Homestars
“I wanted to thank Dan and Josh for their outstanding and professional service! I hired them to finish my basement and our basement now looks amazing. I highly appreciate their work quality and material selection!”
John T on Google
”I always had concerns about which company to use to finish my basement. Penguin Basements put me at ease, from the sales person Dan who brought an floorpan that I would never have considered, to Vince, the project manner, who kept me well informed and made sure the project was done to the highest of standards. There were no real surprises along the way, and they made sure we were happy every step. Fantastic Job.”
Todd on Homestars
”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 in 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 in 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!“

Lisa in Toronto
"It came together ABOVE what I had imagined."
David in Toronto
"We recently moved into our new home (2009) and we planned on finishing our basement. Our neighbours across the street had your sign on the lawn so we decided to see the completed work. It looked professional and we then requested a quote. 3 weeks later we had a brand new finished basement, simply amazing and thanks for everything."
Jeff and Amanda in Richmond Hill
"Just a note to let everyone at Penguin Basements know how pleased I am with my new Basement. Your three-man crew was amazing! They started at 9am, and by 3 that afternoon, they had already framed half of the perimeter of the basement. Two weeks later the job was completed and all the debris was removed. Thank you for a great job! We couldn't be happier. I will definitely recommend your company to family and friends."
John and Rebecca in Maple
"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 of all of our requirements Secondly the installers were professional and efficient. And 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 and Lisa in Oakville
"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!"

"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!"
