Floor Lowering Project adds new Usable space to old historic house

Abarent Construction Ltd. teamed up with Aquarian Renovations Ltd. to create a new space in an old historic houses’s basement. Prior to Abarent’s involvement the 1800 sq. foot basement had less than 6 feet of head room. The new owner of this property wanted to be able to develop the space and make it a functional, usable extension of their home. Abarent set about designing an Engineered Interior PWF Wall System that enabled them to effectively lower the basement floor. When this basement floor lowering project was complete there was 7’10” of head room and a new concrete floor. All Engineering Inspections complete, Abarent turned the project over to Aquarian Renovations Ltd who developed the basement space and renovated the remainder of the house. What transpired created a beautiful home that the current owners enjoy with their growing family.

What our customers say

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done. After this past weekend's deluge, our basement was left completely dry.

Access to the site was a challenge. Material to be removed and replaced had to be loaded into wheelbarrows and pushed uphill and down. It was an arduous undertaking and the men on the job worked very hard. The work ethic and discipline of the crew was impressive. As well, we were very pleased with the workmanship and clean-up following completion of the project.

It's no surprise that repairing a home's foundation and all that comes with the project would be a stressful, messy and unpredicatable job. Kevin and his team took the time to ensure the job was done well and done right. Kevin communicated with us every step of the way and always told us the truth whether it was good news or not. Personally, feeling secure that someone is being truthful is a big deal for me when dealing in an area that is not my forte. I appreciated his candor.

Their employees were hard working, knowledgeable and courteous. They were so confident that they were going to fix my problem for good, that it left me with no doubt. Although there are many companies doing this type of work, Abarent clearly knows their stuff. Once the job was done, I knew I had made the right choice.
