★★★★★ 5/5

I had City & Country handle two of our bathroom remodels that needed to happen at the same time.

Due to scheduling of subcontractors the project took quite a bit longer than planned but the team pulled together and delivered two absolutely beautiful bathrooms. They were also very easy to communicate with and very open to working with me on my detailed design plan.

★★★★★ 5/5

We worked with Shayne @ City & Country Contacting Ltd. We hired him to add a door to connect our upstairs to our downstairs (where there was previously just a blank wall), as well as adding trim to our doors and windows in our garage.

Shayne and his team had great communication (via phone, text, and email). The end results were exactly what we were hoping for! The quality of the work was top-notch, and I would highly recommend City & Country to others! Thanks again!

What Goes Into a Basement Finishing Project?

Transforming an underutilized basement into a luxurious extension of your home involves a meticulous process that encompasses several essential elements. At City & Country Contracting, we ensure that every step of your basement finishing project is expertly executed to create the finished basement of your dreams.

When it comes to basement finishing, it all starts with the foundation. We evaluate the condition of your basement walls and floor, ensuring that they provide a sturdy base for your new living space. Depending on your preferences and local building codes, we may use concrete screws and other secure methods to anchor the framing of your new walls.

Our experts skillfully frame new partition walls to define the layout of your finished basement. These walls not only create separate spaces but also serve as a framework for additional elements like electrical work, insulation, and drywall installation. We pay attention to every detail, from the top and bottom plates to the floor joists, ensuring structural integrity.

To create a comfortable and energy-efficient space, we install insulation within the framing. This insulation, such as polystyrene foam or spray foam, helps regulate temperature and sound, making your basement a cozy haven. It also addresses cold concrete issues, keeping the space warmer and more inviting.

Drywall installation is a crucial phase in basement finishing. Our team meticulously installs drywall to create smooth walls and ceilings that seamlessly integrate with the rest of your home. Drywall tape, drywall screws, and a utility knife are just a few of the tools that contribute to the precision and quality of this process.

Basements are often associated with limited natural light, but our basement finishing solutions change that. We explore ways to introduce natural light, such as larger windows or strategically placed light wells. Moreover, we design and install lighting fixtures that not only brighten your space but also enhance its aesthetics.

A finished basement isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about functionality. We handle plumbing installation for features like laundry rooms and additional bathrooms. Electrical work ensures that your basement is well-lit, equipped with power outlets, and ready for any entertainment or work setup you envision.

The basement flooring plays a significant role in tying the entire space together. We offer a range of options, from classic hardwood to modern tiles, that align with your design preferences. We also install trim and baseboards to achieve a polished look that complements the upper floors of your home.

A dry basement is a foundational element of any finished space. Our team understands the importance of moisture prevention, especially in areas prone to water intrusion. We offer sump pump installation as a proactive measure against potential flooding, ensuring your finished basement remains dry and problem-free.
