"We contracted with JAM Home Services (Jeff) to repair and paint walls, ceilings and closets in the living/dining room and 3 bedrooms of our house. We also asked about installing base board where missing/damaged and also installing shoe molding in all rooms (we had just had carpeting removed and hardwood floors refinished), While his was not lowest estimate for the project, we were impressed with his knowledge, suggestions for successful completion and his professionalism. At our request, he suggested several colors that would work with the hardwood floors. We agreed on a start date, which had to be firm, to meet a specific timeline to place our house on the market. A week before start date, he checked in with us to be sure we still on schedule. As it happened, other projects were already completed, so he started a week earlier than planned and completed the project withing the 4 days he had originally estimated. We could not have been more pleased with the result! Each day, the work space was cleared and cleaned, except for drop cloths left to protect floors. He repaired a baseball-sized hole in the wall in one bedroom, repaired a crack in the plaster above a door in the living room, filled all nail holes. The paint on all ceilings, wall and closets was smooth and even - no messy corners or bleeding edges. The new base boards and and shoe molding were such great enhancements to the rooms. We highly recommend JAM Home Services for anyone with home repair or improvement project needs!"

"Got the whole package for LESS than the price of JUST the roof quoted from another company. We loved their competitive pricing. Roof looks great. Installs were scheduled quickly. An energy audit was included and qualified us for extra rebates! Bonus! Happy customer!"

"The guys from 4-Ever Water-Tite were great! Prior to contracting 4-Ever Water-Tite, I had problems with water and excess moisture in my basement. My basement walls were also pushing in laterally. They put in a perimeter drain system and a new sump pump. They also installed steel support beams to support the walls. I am happy to report that it has now been a full year since 4-Ever Water-Tite worked on waterproofing my basement and it has remained dry. I highly recommend this company."

"The product was good, the installation was OK, the overall experience was disappointing.
First, these windows were ordered on March 13th. We were expecting a baby in May. We thought that two months was a reasonable amount of time to order windows and have them installed. The salesman told us that 4-5 weeks for ordering and installation was typical. We thought we were in great shape. A month passes and we have heard NOTHING. On April 22nd we finally call to see what was going on...we had expected to be contacted about installation by now. We learn that the windows have not arrived yet, and were told that they would look into it. Several more phone calls, and returned calls, and un-returned calls later, it is now the end of May and we have a baby. And still no windows.
So June rolls in and we are all a bit frazzled by bringing a newborn home, so it is nearing the end of June before we realize..."Where are our new windows?" (by this time I have stopped tracking the phone calls). We speak to the installer and are told that they are way behind because of various family emergencies. (Ok...I get it..stuff happens.) We tell them the two weeks that we'll be out of town and unavailable for installations during the end of June/beginning of July.
We get one, maybe two calls telling us "Sorry, we're really busy, thanks for your patience, I'll call tomorrow to schedule you." And then no call.
It's now the end of July and I text the installer that I NEED the windows done in the next two weeks. We schedule for August 4th, and finally, we have our new windows.
But that's not the end of the story. Our windows were hard to remove, and basically had to be broken and pried out of the brick surrounding them. This left a huge mess of glass, which was not cleaned up.  The installers left without letting me know, or I would have asked them to clean up better. (The foreman came several days later and cleaned it up for us after we called to complain. That gesture was appreciated.) I also didn't have a chance to operate the windows before they left. One of them slid great. The other barely opened. After I got it open I saw the cause was a broken plastic piece (balancer spring cover?). I mean, at least I have windows, but only one of them works. (Not sure how that was missed by the installers.....)
When I called about the glass I also mentioned the broken piece. I texted a picture of it to the foreman, and was told it would be ordered by the window manufacturer and someone would contact me when it was in.
Now it is the end of September, and I called last week to inquire about getting the window fixed. That call hasn't been returned yet, but I cannot wait to post this review any longer. When there is some kind of resolution I will post an update
Honestly, this might be a one off bad experience where all the stars aligned and we just got caught in the middle. Everyone has been friendly. We were given a $100 discount for the delayed installation. But it's really disappointing when there is not effective communication with your customer. Call me and update me if there is a problem. Return my calls when you say you're going to return them. I'm a busy mom of three, I won't always remember or be able to play phone tag, but I'm PAYING for your company to provide a service.

"Rob and his crew were excellent. We were referred to Rob from some friends of ours. We hired him because we had seen his work from our friend's kitchen so we felt comfortable with the quality of the work. We hired Rob to fully remodel 2 bathrooms in a home we recently purchased. The bathrooms were extremely outdated so both of them were gut jobs down to the sub-floor and framing. 1st Bathroom: Complete removal of everything existing. New electrical was done to re-position lights. A new bathtub and surround was installed. A new toilet was installed, as well as new vanity along with new floor tile, drywall, and painting. All fixtures and mirrors were replaced as well. 2nd Bathroom: Complete removal of everything existing. New tiled shower surround, new toile, and new vanity were installed. All drywall was replaced and painting was done. All fixtures and mirrors were replaced as well. My favorite part about Rob is his attention to detail and interest in the quality of his work. If a paint line wasn't straight enough the first time, he would re-do it. He even used a small paint brush for models to touch up one area to get it just right! We has recently had all our floors refinished, and Rob took the time to cut and install RamBoard on all flooring to make sure there was no damage. When there were surprises that came up (as there is with ANY job like this) Rob didn't get dramatic and act like it was the end of the world, he would get the part and fix it and explain to us what needed to be done. I really appreciated his professionalism and quality work. We will definitely use Rob again when we do future remodel jobs."

"48Jewel Construction and remodeling had to gut and redo my fathers entire bathroom.  The floor was rotted out due to poor seal on the toilet and over years of not being fixed.  They put a sub flooring down and a new tiles down.  They also installed all new plumbing, fixtures and tub, toilet and sink finishing with fresh paint and new lighting.  What a wonderful job they did.  My father was very pleased with the work.
"
Jewel construction gutted two existing bathrooms Dow to the studs and plumbed the complete back section of the home with new waste lines and supply lines. Continued to do the same with electrical and heating and cooling.. After all tough work was completed we boarded the room and finished it with beautiful wains coating tile and rain heads and steam generator in the shower.

"I had RNL remove kitchen cabinets, and install new ones. When the old cabinets were taking out they discovered a leak years ago that was fixed by someone else but not correctly and had created a lot of mold and mildew. Tom and his crew being the professionals that they are, made sure all mold was removed, and everything was done correctly and safely. The part I liked was them explaining how they were taking steps to insure I didn't have this problem again. How reassuring that I can breathe easy knowing the work was done right. I couldn't ask for more from any company then the honesty and quality work that I received. I do wish more companies cared this much about their customers and doing a job right."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Detroit, MI

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.
