FAQ

Basement Apartment / In-Law Suite in New Brunswick - common questions

How much does a basement apartment / in-law suite cost in New Brunswick?

Costs vary by size, finishes, and code work. Typical interior-conversion budgets depend on egress, plumbing reroutes, and finish level. We offer a site walkthrough and written estimate to give an accurate cost for your specific basement.

How long does the conversion take from start to finish?

Most projects run 8–14 weeks after permitting depending on scope and inspections. Timelines shorten if the scope avoids major plumbing or structural changes; we confirm schedule during the estimate walkthrough.

Will we be able to live in the house during work?

Yes—most clients remain in the home. Work is staged to isolate dust and noise, and we protect common areas. We review day-to-day access and disruption during the pre-construction walkthrough.

What is the first step to get an estimate or consultation?

Request a site visit: we perform a walkthrough, confirm code/egress needs, and provide a written estimate. Contact us to schedule the consultation and get a scope tailored to your basement.
