A basement renovation can include framing, insulation, drywall, ceilings, flooring, lighting, electrical work, plumbing, bathrooms, bedrooms, storage and living areas. The exact scope depends on the existing basement and intended use.

Permit requirements depend on the municipality and the work involved. Structural changes, plumbing, electrical work, new bedrooms and changes to exits or occupancy may require permits or inspections. Confirm local requirements before work begins.
