The fact is, basement bathroom renovations can be expensive, in fact, if you look thru our pricing and packages page, you will find basement bathroom being the most expensive item on our bathroom renovation price list.
The reason is straightforward, basement bathroom renovation in Ottawa is the most labor and trade intensive among bathroom renovation jobs.
The plumbing is significantly more complex and involved than a regular 3-piece bathroom reno. On top of that very often all-new framing is required, if existing framing is in place, it is also often in need of modification.
A much larger amount of drywall and drywall finishing is also required for a basement bathroom compared to re regular job. Electrical, HVAC, and absolutely all trades are much more involved in a basement bathroom renovation.
