Bedrock Basements renovates and finishes basements across Vaughan, including Woodbridge, Maple, Kleinburg, Concord and the Vaughan side of Thornhill. One person runs your project from start to finish. Dmitry Perstin, who has worked in basement renovation since 2009 and founded Bedrock in 2021, comes to your home for the free estimate and designs the space in 3D. He then coordinates the framers, electricians, plumbers and finishers on site until the final walkthrough.
Your quote is fully itemized with no hidden fees, and final payment is due only once the basement is finished. Bedrock is licensed and insured, with $5 million in general liability coverage, and every project carries a one-year workmanship warranty written into the contract.
There’s no showroom to drive to. The consultation happens at your house, which is where the measuring needs to happen anyway.
Featured Projects
Two of these basements are in Vaughan. The first is a walkout basement where the owners wanted a warm place to gather with their children and grandchildren. It now has an open living and dining area built around a custom walnut bar, a stone accent wall with a fireplace and TV, a sauna and a full shower. The second, in Woodbridge, took an unfinished basement and added a finished laundry room, a new bathroom and a bedroom.
View all ProjectsBasement projects fall into two groups, and they’re planned and priced differently.
An unfinished basement is the predictable one. The ductwork, plumbing, electrical panel and walls are all in plain sight, so the quote you get after the on-site visit closely matches what gets built.
A basement that was finished years ago is a different job. The old finish has to come out first, and what’s behind the drywall isn’t always what anyone expected. Wiring that no longer meets code or a floor that isn’t level can turn up during demolition. We tell you about that possibility before you sign, so you can plan for it.

Finishing is for a basement that has never been finished. We plan the layout with you, then handle framing, drywall and taping, electrical and pot lights, plumbing for a bathroom or bar, flooring and trim under one contract. A family room, home theatre, gym, sauna, bedroom or bathroom all come from the same core work, so the design is built around how your household will use the space.

Choose a renovation if your basement is already finished but dated, awkwardly laid out, or no longer suits how you live. The existing finish comes out and the space is rebuilt to a new 3D design. You see the new layout before demolition starts, and the itemized quote lists what’s being removed as well as what’s going in.

A legal basement suite can bring in rental income or give parents or grown children a self-contained place to live. A legal suite typically needs a separate entrance, fire separation, soundproofing and a kitchen, all built to code and inspected. We build them for single-family homes, with the permit in place before construction starts.
Read MorePermits are required for basement work, and always for a legal suite. When a basement becomes a second unit, the City of Vaughan’s Building Standards department asks for the following. The City’s secondary suite steps have the full list.
We don’t pull permits in-house. A licensed engineer we work with prepares the drawings and the submission, and you pay the engineer directly. For a legal suite, we prefer to have the permit approved before we finalize your quote, because code requirements can change the scope of the work. Our guide to legal basement apartment requirements in Ontario covers the rules in more detail.
We take on projects across the city: Woodbridge, Maple, Kleinburg, Concord and Thornhill. If you live in Thornhill, check which side of Yonge Street you’re on. West of Yonge is Vaughan and east of Yonge is Markham, and your permit goes to whichever city your home is in.
Close by, we also work in Richmond Hill, King City and Toronto. The full list is on our areas we serve page.
Our clients’ experiences speak to our commitment to quality, transparency, and a seamless renovation process. See what homeowners are saying about working with Bedrock Basements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a basement renovation in Vaughan cost?
The price of a basement renovation depends on the size of your basement, the finishes you choose, and whether the plan includes a kitchen or a legal suite. Because those factors vary so much from house to house, we don’t publish a per-square-foot range. You get a real number for your own basement from the free on-site visit, followed by a fully itemized quote by email. Contact us for a free quote.
What happens at the free consultation?
Dmitry comes to your home, walks the basement with you, takes measurements and talks through what you want the space to do. You’ll get a ballpark price before he leaves. The itemized written quote follows by email, so you can compare it line by line with any other quotes you’re collecting. There’s no charge for the visit.
How long does a basement renovation in Vaughan take?
The 3D design comes first and usually takes one to two weeks. After that, the timeline depends on the scope, and a straightforward finish of an unfinished basement can move quickly. A legal suite also waits for permit approval before construction begins. In almost all cases, you can stay in your home while the work is done.
Will I see the design before construction starts?
Yes. Every project starts with a 3D design that Dmitry draws for your basement, with more than one concept and room for revisions. You see the layout, the finishes, and where the bar or bathroom sits before anyone frames a wall.
What if I want to change the design during construction?
Tell Dmitry. He designed the space and he runs the site, so a change doesn’t have to pass through a designer, a project manager and an office. Because the quote is itemized, you can see which parts of the job a change affects.
Can you build a legal basement apartment in my Vaughan home?
Yes, in single-family homes. Every suite we build is code-compliant, permitted and inspected. Our basement apartment page explains what goes into one.
