5/5

I cannot say enough good things about Rust and Sawdust Home Renovations. Justin was extremely prompt, getting back to me a few hours after initially contacting him and staying in contact during the entire project and then texting me a few days after finishing to see if we had any concerns or questions.

I appreciated all of his and Adria’s suggestions for my bath remodel and accent wall. He also completed several other repairs that needed to be taken care of.

I highly recommend Justin and am looking forward to him installing privacy panels for us in September.

5/5

We could not be happier with our bathroom renovation completed by Justin and his team. The quality of the work is excellent, and completion time was ahead of schedule.

The cost of the project was exactly as quoted. The assistance given to us by Justin and his wife was much appreciated, and the two of them helped us narrow down the many choices we had.

Every team member in his staff was exceptionally talented. Justin sure knows how to select a great team. We look forward to working with Rust and Sawdust in the future. We give them our highest recommendation.

 

Different Finishes You Can Get For Your Basement

Your basement can be whatever you want it to be. Picture a peaceful sanctum in your home where you can unwind with a new book, the kids complete their assignments quietly, or friends gather for movie night. For some people, it may even become their workshop of choice to finish up those much-anticipated projects!

Your options are limitless; all it takes to get this awesome upgrade is a great design!

Guest Bedroom

Increasing your home’s living space by adding a bedroom to your basement is an excellent idea, especially as your family grows and needs more room.

By adding an extra bedroom to your home, you’ll enjoy a variety of benefits. From the ability to accommodate overnight guests with ease, more space for hosting family gatherings or even generating some additional income by renting it out – whatever your reason may be – having an extra bedroom will most certainly pay off in the long run!

A half bathroom and even a small living space can be included in this project.

A Playroom Or Man Cave

For parents with little ones, a basement playroom can be the perfect way to keep their children entertained without relying on screens. By ensuring that it’s safe and adding some of their favourite toys, you can create an area where your kiddos will have hours of fun!

Not only is this an inexpensive change, but it’s also perfect for temporary use since the kids will grow out of it eventually.

If no kids are in the home, you can make a playroom for yourself. Add a pool table, a ping-pong table, some chairs, a bar, and a TV, and call your friends to watch the game!

An Office Or Workspace

Staying focused and productive while working remotely posed a great challenge to many employees. The frequent interruptions of people coming in and out during Zoom calls disrupted their concentration, making it difficult to maintain a professional environment.

Since we’ve embraced remote work, more of our customers have made the switch to remodeling their basements into home offices or dedicated workspaces – for themselves or their children.

In-House Gym

With our fast-paced lifestyles, it’s difficult to make time for things like working out. Even if you do have time, going to the gym can become expensive with membership fees and gas prices.

Maximize your wellbeing and reach fitness goals with ease by making the most of the privacy, comfort, and convenience of having a home gym. 

With no need to leave the house or worry about unwanted attention from others, you’ll find it easier to stick with your routine – leading to impressive results!
