Transforming Basements into Dream Spaces Since 1975

Dreaming of a basement golf simulator but stuck with a ceiling that feels too low? Since 1975, our family-owned team has been Toronto’s trusted partner for custom underpinning solutions. With nearly five decades of expertise and over 10,000 successful foundation projects completed, we’ve helped homeowners turn ordinary basements into multi-purpose living spaces—including state-of-the-art golf simulators.

By carefully lowering basement floors while reinforcing the foundation, we create safe, durable spaces with the proper clearance for a full swing. From higher ceilings for golf simulators to long-term waterproofing, our solutions are built to last.  

Why Basement Underpinning for Golf Simulators?

Without underpinning, most basements don’t meet the required ceiling height for a golf simulator setup. Here’s why homeowners choose us:

Adequate Swing Clearance

Gain up to 14ft of basement ceiling clearance for a comfortable golf experience!

Increased Home Value

Finished basements with specialty features boost property value.

Stronger Foundations

Underpinning not only lowers the floor but also reinforces structural stability.

Multi-Purpose Use

Create a golf simulator room and still enjoy extra basement functionality.

Our Underpinning Process

01

Site Assessment: We inspect your basement’s current height, soil conditions, and foundation integrity.

02

Planning & Permits: Detailed designs are created in line with local building codes.

03

Excavation: The basement floor is lowered carefully, section by section, while reinforcing the foundation.

04

Drainage & Waterproofing: We integrate weeping tiles and moisture protection to keep your new space dry.

05

Finishing: Once complete, your basement is ready for golf simulator installation—with all the headroom you need.

The Risks of Skipping Underpinning

Trying to install a basement golf simulator without proper ceiling clearance leads to:

  • Restricted swing motion and limited playability
  • Higher risk of damaging ceilings or simulator equipment
  • Lower property value due to unfinished or unsafe basements

     

Professional basement underpinning for golf simulators ensures your investment is both functional, secure and long lasting.
