Remodeling Basement in Home Renovations Real Estate Flipping Toronto

This summer we’re remodeling the basement and putting a sunroom on the front of the house.

After lowering the basement floor and installing proper drains, Kevin elected to use Amdry basement flooring applied directly onto the concrete slab. We would then apply a thick orange coloured cozy shaggy carpet on top of that material – for sure, the kids will love it growing up, and then complain about our taste when they remove the mess in twenty years, but they wont remove the Amdry sub floor underneath… Kevin believes that will last forever.  It does have a space age look and feel, and the material is heavy duty durable and something that looks like it would last a long time in either dry or wet conditions a concrete floor sweats – and these channels in the material let the cement breathe

Amvic insulated wall panels are safe, secure, easy-to-install, and makes cozy spaces where your ears pop when the door closes.

buying basement flooringPurchasing the material required more than internet searches – i had to pick up the phone and make some calls!  The basement walls are to be  composed of Amdry insulated wall panels and you can see Kevin Dugard selecting the best examples at the Rona at Islington and 401 in Toronto

It was a time and place – Kevin had an avocado submarine sandwich in the store Subway, and felt sick on the way home.  that this happened to me once too.

A couple articles warned us away from other green trends , and so went with it and made a meme specific content  like Green Trends Bring Red Ink when Flipping Houses which has more pictures
