WELCOME TO PENGUIN BASEMENTS KITCHENER-WATERLOO

Thinking about finishing your basement in the Tri-city area of Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo? Perfect! A finished basement is an excellent way to expand the living space within your home. It can be a smart financial investment that will increase the value and desirability of your home, should you decide to sell in the future.

Alternately, you can cash in on your basement now by adding a second suite* or basement apartment to your home as a source of rental income. Regardless of what you decide to do with your basement, we can help every step of the way with great advice, great design and construction management designed to exceed your expectations, rather than just meet them.

Whatever your basement plans are, Penguin Basements can help you realize them. With services such as planning, design, custom finishing, water damage repair and waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation and walkout builds, to name but a few, there is simply no component of a basement build project in the Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo area that we can’t handle.

When you are ready to hire the best basement contractor in the KW, give Penguin Basements a call at 519-900-4353. Or you can fill out the FREE In-home Estimate form on this page when it suits you.

We’ll call you back to arrange an in-home appointment where we’ll discuss your needs, examine your existing basement, talk budgets and draw preliminary basement plans to provide you with an exacting estimate inclusive of expanded living space, home threatre, wine cellar, home office, games rooms and/or guest rooms or rental space as you see fit.

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
"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 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 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 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 Richmond Hill
"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!"
