The most professional and organized company I have ever dealt with. The time we spent in planning our renovation was worth it and evident in the finished product.

Just Basements is a top quality company that produces an excellent product and provides outstanding service. We are recommending this company to all of our friends and family.

We hired Just Basement to renovate a basement bathroom and build a Sauna. While their core business is full basements, they tackled our smaller renovation. It was challenging to work within the existing infrastructure. During the reno they upgraded the existing plumbing and wiring to create a cleaner infrastructure. Our lead carpenter, Kevin, was easy to work with and produced high quality work. The finished space has more than met our expectation.

Just basement is the best basement design and construction company in Ottawa. They will make the complicated project much easier than you thought. They could provide unique, consistent and beautiful design. They always keep the construction site very clean. They also have very high stand of their work. After the project complete you will fall in love with the new basement for sure.

Norm and Amelia came up with a great design for the space we had and built it exactly to that plan.

Norm, Amelia, Jason and the rest of the guys were fabulous. There were a few surprises uncovered during our renovation, these were communicated quickly with Just Basements providing guidance as we considered our options. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

All in all positive experience and would recommend

With few exceptions, the workmanship was excellent. Job site was always left clean and tidy at the end of every day and the people doing the work were always pleasant and courteous.

Working with Just Basements was a fantastic experience. They went above and beyond the already very high expectations we had. It was a pleasure working with such a great group of professionals and we will be highly recommending them to any family or friends looking to get any renovation work done.

Norm and his team are very professional and the job was completed to our expectations without a concern or worry throughout. From design to completion it was a great experience!

Just Basements turned an unfinished, overly-utilized basement into a wonderful, finished area that is functional and a joy within which to work. They were extremely sensitive to our health issues and did everything possible to reduce dust and to contain an area where mold was found. We definitely recommend Just Basements.

When we began this process we were searching for extra square footage to serve as a movie theatre, a games room and a home gym. What we ended up with was an extension of our home and a beautiful space to gather, relax and play with our children, family and friends.
