Basement finishing in Delaware homes
Delaware is a city of about 41,000 and the seat of Delaware County, roughly 30 miles north of Columbus by road. It was founded in 1808, so it has a historic core as well as a ring of newer subdivisions.
What Delaware owners ask about
- Newer homes. Full basements in recent subdivisions are straightforward to finish. See the home page for the stages.
- Older homes near the center. Stone or block foundations and low ceilings need assessing before any plan is made. See basement waterproofing.
- Bedrooms. A legal bedroom needs an egress window.
- Budgeting. The price tables on the home page show national ranges for each part of the job.
