Basement Renovations in Clearview Township
A finished basement is one of the best-value projects a Clearview Township homeowner can take on—practical square footage that enhances daily living and adds real value to the property. Whether your home is a century farmhouse on a concession road, an established house in Stayner or Creemore, or a newer build in one of the township's growing subdivisions, Mighton Construction delivers basement renovations that match the quality of your above-grade living spaces.
Every project starts with an honest assessment of the space—its condition, ceiling height, and mechanical systems—so we know exactly what we are working with before finishing begins. A finished basement has to start from a dry, sound space; we do not do waterproofing, so if an older home has a moisture concern we will tell you honestly and recommend resolving it first rather than finishing over a problem.
From framing and insulation through electrical, plumbing, and final finishes, our team manages every trade and every detail. We build bright, welcoming spaces with strategic lighting, quality flooring, and durable finishes—on schedule, on an open-book budget, and to the standard Clearview Township homeowners expect.
Basement Finishing in Stayner
Stayner is the largest community in Clearview Township, and its established village homes make up a big share of our basement work. Homeowners here turn an unfinished lower level into a recreation room, a home office, an in-law suite, or a legal rental—and we handle the whole finishing job to a premium standard. Whether you are in Stayner itself, nearby Creemore or Nottawa, or on the concessions between them, you work with the same builder from first assessment to final walkthrough.
What Basement Finishing Costs in Clearview Township
Budget $65 to $150+ per square foot, and where you land depends on how the space gets used and the level of finish. In older Clearview and Stayner homes the honest budget also accounts for things a newer house never needs — bringing dated wiring or plumbing up to code, or working around a low ceiling and existing mechanicals — all evaluated and priced before finishing begins, in an open-book budget where every invoice is visible.
- Low end — a well-finished recreation level with quality flooring, lighting, and durable finishes.
- Mid range — add a bathroom, a guest bedroom with egress, or a wet bar.
- Top end — a legal secondary suite, or an in-law suite for multi-generational rural living.
More Living Space for Rural and Village Homes
A finished lower level is some of the best-value square footage a Clearview or Stayner home can add. Our clients turn theirs into recreation and media rooms, home gyms, and home offices — and, more than in most areas, into in-law suites for multi-generational rural living and legal secondary suites that generate rental income. We design the layout around how your household actually lives, then manage every trade from framing to final finishes. If you are building new, an ICF foundation gives you a basement that is warm, dry, and finishing-ready from day one.

Budget & Planning Guidance
Basement finishing typically ranges from $65–$150+/sqft, depending on the level of finish, bathroom inclusion, and whether the space is designed as a legal secondary suite.
Costs vary by design, site conditions, materials, drawings, and approvals. These planning ranges are not quotes.
Our Basements Process
Assessment & Moisture Evaluation
We inspect your basement for moisture issues, evaluate the foundation condition, measure ceiling height, and identify mechanical obstructions that will affect the layout.
Design & Layout Planning
We develop a floor plan that maximises usable space while accommodating mechanical systems, egress requirements, and your intended use of the space.
Permitting
We secure building permits, which are required for finished basements. Secondary suite applications involve additional requirements including fire separation and separate HVAC.
Framing, Insulation & Mechanical
Walls are framed, insulation is installed against the foundation, and any plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work is completed and inspected.
Finishing
Drywall, flooring, trim, paint, bathroom fixtures, and all finishing details are completed. We ensure the space feels like a natural extension of your home.
