We know finishing your basement is a major decision and we know that you probably have a lot of unanswered questions.
We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have.
How is Harmony Basements better than competitors?We are experts in basement renovations and have a deep understanding of what our clients need. At Harmony Basements, we have developed and perfected a finishing system that is 100% green and mould-free, while avoiding any major downfalls, complications, hassles or problems that are often associated with a complex project like this. Instead of using lumber and drywall that could be a food source for mould, we use cutting-edge new materials that are mould-resistant. We are passionate and dedicated in helping you create the perfect basement, while ensuring a safe, seamless and smooth experience – from start to finish. Click here to see the difference.
We are concerned with growth of mould and mildew. How will you help prevent this?While conventional construction materials such as lumber, drywall and fibreglass insulation work great for above ground construction, these products can rot and cause mould in high moisture areas like basements. Our mould-repellent products such as Magnesium Oxide Wallboard allow moisture to pass through naturally to prevent mould from growing. The materials we use are top-of-the-class to prevent mould and mildew. Also being fire and waterproof, sound absorbent and eco-friendly, they are designed for the safest and most comfortable living environment. We use only the best materials – that is the Harmony way.
What does your warranty cover?We are so confident of our products and installations that we offer our clients a lifetime warranty. And don’t worry if you need to sell your house, warranties are transferable to the new owner.
