Ever Walked Into a “Finished” Basement That Felt Cheap, Damp, Crooked… or Unsafe?
You know the type. Uneven walls. Musty smell. Wavy drywall. Tiny cracks. Bouncy floors.
That happens because 9 times out of 10 — the framing wasn’t done right.
And then comes the real gut punch.
When the basement doesn’t pass inspection.
Or the tenants move out.
Or the renovation budget doubles to fix what someone else rushed.

It’s income, comfort, and space.
One wrong framing job can cost you thousands — and months of frustration.
But not with us.
At Navar, we build basements safe, straight, and certified — so everything after that feels easy.

Why Basement Framing Matters More Than Anything Else
Basements in Toronto aren’t like regular rooms. They deal with more moisture. More temperature change. More stress from above.
If the framing isn’t right, everything after becomes a problem — drywall, flooring, even inspections.
Here’s what bad basement framing causes:
- Failed rental inspections and permit delays
- Crooked walls and noisy pipes
- Cold, drafty rooms and mold issues
- Drywall cracks, floor waves, and finishing headaches
- Leaks and long-term structural stress
Good framing prevents future problems.
Great framing makes the whole basement feel like it’s always been part of your home.
And that’s what we do.
