Basement finishing in Grandview Heights homes
Grandview Heights is a small, built-up city a couple of miles from downtown Columbus. Lots are modest and houses are close together, so a basement is often the only place left to add living space without building an addition.
Homes here tend to be older, and older basements bring their own questions. Ceilings can be low, foundation walls may be block or stone, and the basement may never have been intended as a room.
What Grandview Heights owners ask about
- Low ceilings. Fixing drywall straight to the joists, or painting the joists and leaving them open, keeps the most height. See basement ceilings.
- Damp walls. Older foundations were not waterproofed the way new ones are. Moisture is dealt with before any framing.
- Tight sites. An egress window needs room outside for a window well, which a narrow side yard can limit.
- Old wiring and plumbing. Finishing is a good moment to bring these up to date.
