Basement finishing in Hilliard homes
Hilliard is a suburb of about 37,000 on the west side of the Columbus area. Much of its housing was built in recent decades, in subdivisions of two-story homes with poured-concrete basements.
Basements like these are among the easiest to finish: the walls are straight, the ceilings are usually a good height, and builders often left plumbing roughed in for a future bathroom.
What Hilliard owners ask about
- Making the most of a large basement. Dividing it into a family area, a bedroom and a bathroom.
- A home gym. The slab takes heavy equipment well. See basement home gym.
- Working from home. A proper office with a door.
- Storage. Leave an unfinished area for storage and the mechanicals. Not every square foot needs finishing.
