Finishing the Basement
January 1, 2008
With 2 teenagers and a big puppy-dog, Mr. Steenrod of North Canton came to us with a request to enlarge his homes’ square footage by finishing its basement. This would be a traditional construction job that would need a plan, so we drew one up for him. Once the neccessary permits were obtained, we were able to get started. His home is still fairly new, but would need upgrading before we could start to frame the walls. These upgrades included some minor water diverting to help keep the basement dry, glass block windows, a new electric sub-panel dedicated to the new basement, underground plumbing for a new basement bathroom and kitchen, and a new large capacity water heater. Rough framing, insulation, mechanicals, drywall, woodwork, cabinetry, lighting, suspended ceiling, tile flooring and carpet will all be provided or contracted by Kitchens & More inc. WE DO IT ALL…….
Here’s the basement - it went from this (during the framing stage):
