ReImagine Builders design and develop basements in Calgary and all surrounding areas
Since launching in 2011, ReImagine Builders has had the pleasure of working with hundreds of families designing and building their basement developments in Calgary and most outlying areas. A professional basement development is a smart way to add equity and get more enjoyment out of your home.
Developing your basement lets your family spread out with more space to enjoy and additional rooms for guests, toys, workout equipment or anything else that works for you. More importantly, having a developed basement can bring families together by creating a space the entire family can enjoy.

Some things to consider when planning your basement:
Rooms Needed
Do you need a full-time bedroom or just a room for a few guests each year? Do you want space for an office, or room for gym equipment? Our basement designers will help make sure your basement is set up to best suit your needs.
Subfloor Options
Subfloors can add warmth to your floor and also have waterproofing properties.
Basement Soundproofing
Need a little extra separation of sound?
Heating Considerations
The last thing you want is a cold basement. Vent placement, cold air returns, and additional heating supplies are important considerations.
Storage
Don’t underestimate the importance of storage.
Primary Flooring
Carpet is warm and cozy. Hard surfaces such as laminate and vinyl plank can be easier to clean and have a wide variety of designs. Which is best for you really comes down to your priorities.
Wet/Dry Bars
Would your basement benefit from a bar or kitchenette?
Shower vs Tub
Many of our clients are surprised to find out that a shower is actually more expensive than a bathtub.
Fireplace Options
Electric is the least expensive option. Gas is a great option, but it is also the most expensive and can take up room in your space. Bio-flame fireplaces are a great option you may not have considered.
Home Theatre
We offer many different options for your basement, from a simple wall conduit for hiding your tv cables.
