Bill and Kathleen felt that they could do it better and they have been revolutionizing the home improvement industry one customer at a time for over 15 years. American Vision Window is now the number one window replacement company in California and Arizona, and service areas include Ventura County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Diego County, Greater San Jose Area, and Arizona.
"Proposal was fair, The product is excellent. The time from our decision to final installation was good. The installation was impressive. The American Vision install team were professional and worked like a well oil machine. Their attention to quality and detail was so reassuring. The team included Julian, Colby, Nate, Marcus, Erik and Adrian. I won’t need new windows for a long time but when I do, I’m going with American Vision Windows."

Home remodeling and repairs. Call today for more information. Free estimates available. We look forward to hearing from you!
"Drywall work to square off an arch opening to a room and painting was excellent. This was done as part one of work. Part two was to install a double barn door. The barn door install was not good. Drilled in to wrong end of one of the doors. What should of been a few hours to finish was all day and not close to finishing due to other issues occurring with the contractor. Door was special order. He tried to order but this did not work out. Never returned my call, text, or email. I notified the contractor of canceling and hired Lowes direct to finish/ correct the install and having to cover new expenses to finish. Money was not paid to the contractor. I would say partial services were performed which is why I say 2 stars vs one. I am still over in total expesnes from original budget."

Professional contractors complete basement framing in three to five days, depending on the size and complexity of your space. Projects with simple, open layouts progress faster than those with multiple rooms and corners. DIY framers should expect the job to take significantly longer, potentially seven to 10 days or more, depending on experience level and available time. The timeline doesn't include other aspects of basement finishing like drywall installation, electrical work, or finishing touches, which extend the overall renovation schedule.
Most municipalities require building permits for basement framing projects. These permits cost between $1,200 and $2,000, ensuring your renovation meets local building codes for safety and structural integrity. Working without proper permits can result in penalties, forced removal of completed work, and complications when selling your home. Your local building department can provide specific information about permit requirements, inspection schedules, and any special considerations for basement renovations in your area.
For basement framing, use pressure-treated lumber for bottom plates (the horizontal boards that contact concrete floors) to prevent moisture damage and rot. Standard kiln-dried lumber is suitable for wall studs and top plates that don't directly contact concrete surfaces. The most common lumber dimension for basement wall framing is two-by-four, though some situations may call for two-by-six lumber to accommodate thicker insulation. Always check local building codes, as some jurisdictions have specific requirements for basement framing materials.
You can install drywall after framing is complete and inspected, but several important steps should happen first. Ensure any electrical, plumbing, or HVAC rough-ins are completed and inspected before closing up walls. Installing insulation between studs is highly recommended for temperature control and moisture management. Drywall installation adds an average of $3 to $4 per linear foot to your project, with painting costing an additional $2 to $6 per square foot. Address any moisture concerns before enclosing walls to prevent future damage and mold issues.
