About this service
A finished basement can add a family room, home theatre, gym, guest suite, or a legal secondary suite that generates rental income. Stone Leaf builds basements to code the first time, with proper egress windows, insulation, sound attenuation, and mechanical work.
For income suites, we coordinate permits and inspections and can guide you through Edmonton's Secondary Suite Grant paperwork.

Ask a questionHow much does it cost to finish a basement in Edmonton?+
Family-room style developments start around $55,000. Legal secondary suites with kitchens, egress, and separate entry typically land between $85,000 and $130,000.
Do you handle the permits for a legal secondary suite?+
Yes. We manage the development, building, electrical, plumbing, and gas permits, and coordinate inspections so the suite is fully compliant.
Can you help me qualify for the Edmonton Secondary Suite Grant?+
We build every legal suite to grant standards and can walk you through the application, from pre-construction paperwork to the final inspection checklist.
How disruptive is basement construction upstairs?+
Framing and demolition weeks are the loudest. We tape and zip-wall the top of the stairs, and schedule the noisier trades in blocks so upstairs life stays manageable.
