Your unfinished basement is
valuable space waiting to happen.

Most Saskatoon homes have hundreds of square feet sitting unused below grade. A properly developed basement adds living space, increases your home's value, and makes the whole house work better.

LSR Contracting handles full basement developments — framing, insulation, egress windows, drywall, doors, and trim. Bedrooms, bathrooms, rec rooms, home offices, and mechanical rooms. Steven and Roger are on site the whole time, doing the work themselves.

01

Full scope, start to finish

Framing, insulation, vapour barrier, drywall, doors, trim — we manage the whole development so you're not coordinating multiple trades.

02

No subcontractors

Steven and Roger do the work themselves. You deal with the same people from first conversation to final walkthrough.

03

Built to code

Egress windows, proper ceiling heights, fire separation — we build basements that pass inspection every time.

04

Detailed written quotes

We walk your basement, understand your goals, and give you a clear itemized estimate before anything starts.

full development

Full development, framing & insulation, egress windows, bedrooms, bathrooms, rec rooms, home offices, and mechanical rooms — scoped to your basement and your goals.

Full Basement Development

From bare concrete to fully developed living space — we handle the complete scope including layout, framing, insulation, drywall, doors, and trim. One crew, start to finish.

02

Framing & Insulation

All partition walls, bulkheads, and room divisions framed to code, with exterior walls insulated and vapour-barriered properly for Saskatchewan's climate.

Required for any basement bedroom, egress windows provide a safe emergency exit and let natural light in. We install windows that meet Saskatchewan building code requirements.

Properly framed and insulated rooms with egress windows where required, doors hung plumb, and trim finished cleanly. Bedrooms that meet code and feel like real living space.

05

Family & Rec Rooms

Open-plan living areas framed and finished to give your family more usable space. We work with your layout goals to make the most of your basement's footprint.

06

Bathroom & Mechanical Room

Common
questions

A full basement development in Saskatoon typically runs $40,000–$80,000+ depending on size, layout complexity, bathroom inclusion, and finish level. A straightforward open-plan development with one bathroom on the lower end; a fully finished basement with multiple rooms, a bathroom, and high-end finishes at the higher end. We provide a detailed itemized quote after walking your space.
Yes — the City of Saskatoon requires a building permit for basement developments. The permit covers framing, insulation, and any new rooms. If you're adding a bathroom, a separate plumbing permit is also required. We discuss permit responsibilities clearly before work begins.
A typical full basement development takes 4–8 weeks of active work, not including permit approval time. Permit approvals in Saskatoon generally take 2–4 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your quote based on the scope of your specific project.
Electrical and plumbing require licensed trades in Saskatchewan. We handle all the carpentry scope — framing, insulation, drywall, doors, and trim. For electrical and plumbing, we can refer you to trusted licensed trades we've worked with, and we coordinate our work around their schedule so the project runs smoothly.
Yes — bedroom additions are one of the most common basement development requests. Code requires a basement bedroom to have a proper egress window of a minimum size for emergency exit. If your existing windows don't meet the requirement, an egress window installation may be needed before we can frame the bedroom. We'll assess this during your quote.
A "developed" basement typically means framing, insulation, drywall, and doors are complete — it's livable but basic. A "finished" basement includes flooring, paint, trim details, and potentially a full bathroom, wet bar, or other features. We can take your project to whatever level you're looking for and will scope it clearly in your quote.
