“Couldn’t be happier with the work Meadow General Contracting Ltd did on my basement renovation! From start to finish their team was professional, highly skilled, and incredibly communicative. They helped me take what was once an unfinished space and turn it into a warm, livable family area, on time and on budget. The planning process was organized and clear, and they walked me through every detail, which made the whole renovation stress free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality contractors in Saskatoon!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our basement suites services.
The Secondary Suite Incentive (SSI) Grant provides 35% of eligible costs up to $35,000 for creating a new legal basement suite. This includes construction costs, permits, and up to $5,000 for appliances.
A basement suite in Saskatoon typically costs $45,000-$120,000+ depending on size and finish level. A basic bachelor suite starts around $45,000, while a premium 2-bedroom with high-end finishes can exceed $120,000. The SSI Grant can offset up to $35,000 of these costs.
Most basement suites take 8-12 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.
Yes, legal basement suites require building permits, electrical permits, and plumbing permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections for you.
Yes, you can stay in your home during most of the construction. We work to minimize disruption and contain the work area. Expect some noise during business hours and brief utility interruptions for plumbing and electrical tie-ins.
A legal suite has proper permits, meets building code for ceiling height, egress windows, fire separation, and smoke detectors, and has an occupancy permit. Illegal suites lack these — meaning no insurance coverage if something goes wrong, fines from the city, and reduced resale value. We only build legal, fully permitted suites.
Once your suite passes final inspection and receives occupancy approval, you can immediately start renting it out. We'll help you understand local rental regulations.
We offer flexible payment schedules tied to construction milestones. The SSI Grant also significantly offsets your costs — on a $100,000 project, you'd get $35,000 back, bringing your net investment to $65,000. Many homeowners also use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) for financing.
