Welcome to Penguin Basements Thornhill

Thinking about finishing your basement in Thornhill? We think that a smart move. A finished basement is not only a great way to expand the livable space in your home; it is also a sound financial investment that will make your home more attractive and valuable if you decide to sell it in the future.

Or perhaps instead, you are considering adding a second suite, or basement apartment for an in-law, live-in nanny or as a source of rental income?

In either scenario we say, don’t just think about it finishing your basement, just do it. And we’ll help every step of the way with great advice, great design and excellent project management to ensure your basement not only meets your expectations, but exceeds them.

The fact is, whatever your basement plans are, Penguin Basements can help you realize them. With services such as basement planning, finishing, repair, waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space encapsulation and basement health and mold treatment, there is simply no basement project in Thornhill that we can’t handle.

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!

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!"
