EXTERIOR ENTRANCE CONSTRUCTION

Basement Walk-Outs

Custom subterranean exterior entrances that add separate access for rental units or backyard living.

A separate entrance is what turns a lowered basement into a legal, rentable suite. On detached and semi-detached Toronto properties we cut through the existing foundation wall and excavate a stairwell in the side yard or rear yard, sized to the setbacks your lot allows.

The work is precise: hydraulic saw cutting through poured or block walls, reinforced poured retaining walls, frost-protected footings, and a drained stairwell that will not pond in a spring thaw. Everything is built to Ontario Building Code egress requirements so your suite passes inspection.

Stamped drawings and City of Toronto permits are handled end to end before a shovel moves.

3. Sequential Excavation & Pour

Pin-by-pin excavation and reinforced concrete pours keep the structure fully supported throughout.

4. Final Inspection & Sign-Off

Engineer and municipal inspections, cleanup, and a written workmanship guarantee.

What Toronto Homeowners Say

“

Ken's crew lowered our 1890s Cabbagetown basement by three feet. Meticulous sequencing, permits handled, and our heritage brick came through untouched.
