Harmony Basements · Why us
Why Us?
Because the basement is drawn before it is priced, the price is itemized before it is signed, and one practice answers for it for life.
We work in harmony
Dedication, professionalism and punctuality — and a basement that is up to and beyond the industry standard, on materials chosen for below grade, on a schedule that is written into the contract.

A great basement starts with an immaculate design: our in-house designer, the external engineer and the project manager work together so the finished basement is a work of art that complies with the city’s by-laws, the safety regulations and the Building Code. Financing is available through our bank partners, on approved credit.

Building your trust is our promise
An honest proposal, no surprises, no hidden costs and no fine print.
- The most complete first visit we know ofA detailed AutoCAD set, a 3D-VR design and a proposal with an itemized cost breakdown — all included, no commitment required.
- Test-drive itYou would not buy a car without driving it. You stand inside a 3D model of your new basement in VR before you buy.
- Your rights under the Consumer Protection ActIf you agree to a contract in person anywhere other than the contractor’s office, such as in your home, Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act gives you 10 days after you receive your written copy to cancel for any reason, with your deposit refunded within 15 days; if a contractor misrepresented their goods or services, you can withdraw within one year.

Ninety minutes with the person who will draw your basement
At your home or at our Vaughan design centre. No obligation, and no commissioned sales rep. The person who designs your basement also prices it and prepares the permit drawings, so nothing gets lost between people.
- 01
We call you
At a time that suits you, to set the session and hear what you have in mind.
- 02
We measure and listen
We measure the basement and see what the house will allow; you tell us how you want to use it. Then we draw every layout it can have, and you pick one.
- 03
You have the price before we leave
Before the visit ends, you have a line-by-line price for the layout you picked, written against a detailed drawing, electrical and HVAC included. The 3D model and the 360° VR walkthrough let you see it before you sign. Within 24 hours of your go-ahead, that same drawing becomes part of the permit package we prepare and submit.
