A basement development is a separate space created in a home’s lower level for any purpose. A renovated basement can be a family retreat. A place with efficient storage, room to work on a hobby or practise music, space to watch the big game or host a party, a family gym, a theatre room with bathrooms, or a quiet corner for meditation or reading. There is no limit, only your use and imagination.
A legal suite is a single-family living space within the main home. It could be in a basement or backyard (called “Backyard Suites”). A “legal suite” must have sleeping, kitchen, living, and bathroom spaces. Common areas may include a backyard, parking, laundry, and storage. Most Calgary legal suites are basement-based.
One of the advantages is that you can offset your mortgage and other expenses by renting it out on a short-term basis through platforms such as Airbnb or on a long-term basis as a traditional rental property. It also increases your property’s value and is a huge selling point if you decide to sell.
A detached garage can provide many benefits, making it a wise investment for your property. It offers additional storage space, increases property value, provides a private workspace, and offers a sense of security for your automobiles. Furthermore, a detached garage can provide a sense of privacy and separation from the outside world, making it an ideal addition if you live in a noisy or busy area. Developing a detached garage is a wise investment that can offer numerous benefits for you and your home.
Sanath Hapuarachchi2023-12-29Ayo and his team did an excellent job on our new basement. The initial quote was quick and accurate, including drawings. The method they used to review and update the selections was straightforward and easy. Ayo kept us up to date on the project plan and was always very responsive. The quality of the work and professionalism of the tradesmen was very good. They suggested changes to the original plan to ensure better use of the space and we appreciate their experience since it made a word of different -- the quality of products, work ethic and timeliness. I would not hesitate to refer OAF Construction Corp. To anyone. Thank you so much to Ayo and his team for finishing our home.Olakunle Apelehin2023-12-26Communication during the project was very goodJohnson Atole2023-12-25OAF Construction is a reliable and dependable company you can trust for your projects. My experience with the company renovating my basement was great. The choice of materials used is excellent. The workers attention to details is just so good . Aesthetic appeal is 100%. I recommend anyone to use their services. Johnson AtoleJerry James2023-12-21I highly recommend O.A.F. Construction for legalizing your existing basement or for new basement development. Ayokunle Famuagun is an exceptional individual with extensive knowledge in both legalizing existing basements and developing new ones. He attentively listens to customer requirements, ensuring that each project meets the highest quality standards. Overall, this company is a pleasure to work with, valuing both its customers and long-term relationships. In my case, I already had a developed basement that I wanted to legalize. After interviewing a significant number of contractors, I was discouraged by their approaches – most either complicated the process or proposed budgets nearly equivalent to building a new basement. Additionally, many were reluctant to take on such projects. Fortunately, I saw a lawn sign in my neighborhood advertising O.A.F. Construction. I thought I would give it one last try before giving up. Ayokunle visited my site, assessed the work needed, and confidently assured me with a smile, 'We can do it; it shouldn't be a huge task.' He provided a reasonable quote, handled the permit process, and completed the project on time. His parting words were impactful: 'We want our customers to be happy. We manage our projects in a way that ensures they won't need to call us back for any quality concerns.' And I must say, I wholeheartedly agree with that statement!Paul Ogomigo2023-11-14O.A.F delivered the 1-bed unit in remarkable style. Everyone who has seen the unit has been in awe of how the space was transformed into an excellent dwelling space. Being a walkout basement unit, concrete stairs and landing were installed for accessibility. The unit also came with a complementary washer and dryer installed.Marc Antoine Ouambe2023-02-06I was invited by my neighbor to visit his newly fully developed basement suite of two bedrooms upgraded. I was impressed by the quality of the work and the professionalism. I asked to get the name of the company, as I wanted the same work to be done in my basement. My neighbor gave me the name and phone number of the company O.A.F. I called them right away and I was impressed by the quick response I got from them. Once they came on site, they used their professionalism to suggest from the best disign project to the quality of the materials to pick or choose. We easly got to an agreement. The project started and a month and half later, I received the news from the City of Airdrie that the project was successfully completed and passed all the approved requirements. Also O.A.F walked me through the finished project to have my observation or comments before they handed the key to me. I finally have my dream basement suite 2 bedrooms upgraded and ready to be used. Thank you very much to O.A.F Corp that I strongly recommend to everyone in need of a efficient reliable, and committed builder for every renovation, basement development or suite developed.Perfect Perucas2022-11-14OAF handled my basement construction from scratch to a legal suite.
