Basement Renovations in Edmonton
An unfinished basement is one of the most valuable spaces in your home to develop — and one of the easiest to get wrong if moisture and layout aren't handled properly. Fort Erin Construction builds basements the right way, from framing and waterproofing through to final flooring and finishes.
Transform Your Basement Into a Space You'll Actually Use
Your basement has the potential to be much more than unfinished storage. At Fort Erin Construction, we provide professional basement renovations in Edmonton and surrounding areas, helping homeowners transform underused basements into comfortable, functional spaces designed around the way they live.
Whether you're starting with an unfinished basement, updating an older development, or completely reimagining your lower level, our team can manage your renovation from demolition through the finishing details.
Basement Renovation & Development Services
Our basement renovation services can include:
Starting with an unfinished basement? We can transform it into a finished extension of your home, coordinating the different stages of construction required to bring the space together.
Basement Remodeling
Already have a finished basement that feels outdated or no longer works for your family? We can update the layout, finishes, flooring, lighting, and other features to give the space a fresh start.
Add convenience and functionality with a new basement bathroom or renovate an existing one. Our team can complete flooring, tile, shower surrounds, waterproofing, and finishing work as part of the larger renovation.
Entertainment & Family Rooms
We work with premium materials like marble tiles to create elegant, high-end finishes for homeowners looking to upgrade their space. Our custom tile designs allow you to add unique patterns, layouts, and textures that make your project truly one-of-a-kind.
Take your tile floors to the next level with in-floor heating, perfect for bathrooms, basements, and kitchens, adding extra comfort, increasing home value, and making Edmonton winters much more manageable.
We install tile in key focal areas such as entryways, fireplaces, and feature walls to add character and visual impact to your space. These installations are designed to enhance the overall aesthetic of your home while maintaining durability and craftsmanship.
What's Included in a Basement Renovation?
A successful basement renovation requires much more than new flooring and paint. Depending on your project, your renovation may involve:
- Demolition and removal
- Framing and layout changes
- Insulation
- Drywall
- Electrical and lighting
- Plumbing
- Bathroom construction
- Flooring installation
- Tile installation
- Painting
- Trim and finishing

Fort Erin Construction helps coordinate the project so you aren't left trying to manage multiple trades and different stages of construction yourself.
Unfinished Basement? Let's Build It Around Your Life.
An unfinished basement gives you an opportunity to decide exactly how the space should work before construction begins.
Need another bedroom?
Want a larger family room?
Thinking about adding a bathroom?
Need somewhere for the kids, a home gym, an office, or an entertainment area?
We'll help you look at the available space and create a basement layout that makes sense for your household today while considering how you may use the space in the future.
Renovating an Existing Basement
Sometimes the space is already finished — it just isn't working anymore.
Older basements can feel dark, closed-in, dated, or disconnected from the rest of the home. A renovation can completely change that.
We can help modernize existing basements with:
- New flooring
- Updated layouts
- Modern lighting
- Bathroom renovations
- New tile and finishes
- Feature walls
- Updated trim and doors
- Entertainment areas
- Storage improvements
- Fresh finishes throughout
The goal isn't simply to make your basement look newer. It's to make it more useful.

What are Edmonton clients saying?
Luke Mohr
We had Frank come out to do tile work for our main floor bathroom, and two upstairs bathrooms earlier this year. Frank and his partner were willing to do some very unique penny tile patterns for us, as well as exceptional work on the shower tile upstairs. He was very honest about pricing up front, and did flawless work for us in our home. HIGHLY recommend
Jessica Gallant
We are very happy with the work Frank did on our stone fireplace. We ended up changing our mind on the mantle which delayed the stone being finished. Throughout the process, Frank went over and above to work with our contractor and make sure we were happy. We would highly recommend Frank!
J MacK
Frank and Lucas at Fort Erin Construction are true masters at their craft! Their design advice on picking the right tile and grout color for our kitchen backsplash replacement made a huge difference in opening up the space. They took their time, worked with incredible precision, and transformed the entire room. Exceptional communication and flawless craftsmanship from start to finish - we couldn’t be happier with their work!
Christie Gordon
Frank did tiling for one of our bathrooms and we couldn't be happier with his work from start to finish! Professional and perfectly executed! Very very happy and would definitely hire Frank again!
