Basement Renovations/ Secondary Suites

At Glimmerstone Renovation, we specialize in designing and building legal secondary suites that maximize your property's value and functionality.

Whether you are converting a basement into a rental unit, creating an in-law suite, or building a fully independent living space, our team handles the renovation process from start to finish.

Is Your Home Eligible for a Secondary Suite?

Not every home in Nova Scotia can legally or practically support a secondary suite. Before you invest in plans or renovations, it’s important to know if your property actually qualifies.

At Glimmerstone Renovation, we help homeowners determine feasibility early so they can avoid costly mistakes and understand exactly what’s possible with their space.
