"Nixon provides great service in a timely manner. He and his crew were efficient, polite and respectful of the areas they worked in. They performed carpentry work that was excellent and quickly solved a roofing and sealing/painting issue for me. Nixon was responsive by phone and showed up when he said he was going to each time. His pricing was a bit on the high side and you get what you pay for. I will definitely be calling on Nixon and his crew again for future work."

"I couldn't be more happy with picking Edie&sons for my deck for my condo. He built the deck i imagined and within guidelines from my association. He was a skilled professional who paid attention to detail and never took shortcuts. He was hard working and showed up when communicated. His pricing was fair and well worth the work he provided. I am recommending him to family and friends who need work done. Very satisfied customer."

"George listens to the customer, makes suggestions if necessary and proceeds with a contract. Said contract has a price range that he never exceeded depending on whether or not unforeseen issues occur. George renovated two bathrooms, installed laminate flooring on my bathrooms and master bedroom. He is efficient, neat and never leaves a project unless it is perfect. George will be called upon for all my future projects."

"I needed to have the old flooring removed and the new flooring put down. They team was very professional. They realized the subflooring was messed up in a section and made sure to stop and communicate so the job can be doone correctly. I appreciated that factor and was able to approve a replacement of the messed up board the great thing was they were still able to finish the job in the time frame they originally stated! I plan to use them for all jobs moving forward. Priced fair,quality work, and friendly and professional!"

"Beautifully. Matthew was able to remove and rehang the older windows which now open and close in their tracks perfectly. It wasn't straightforward as the house has shifted some since they were installed but Matt was able to find solutions, rather than discarding the old windows and installing new. He was always on time and stayed within the agreed budget. I met him when he did a fabulous job on our neighbors' porch and front steps. HIghest possible recommendation! 5 Stars!"

"We had M Craft replace all of the interior doors upstairs and update the baseboard trim as well as install a fire-rated door for our garage. It was not an easy job since our original doors were not level and there were lots of awkward angles. They did a great job and we are very happy with the results. Miro was on time each morning and took care to keep the spaces clean - he even vacuumed up the dust/debris at the end of each day. I would definitely hire again!"

"David's estimate was similar to the other I received so the price seemed fair.   He was able to start work pretty quickly  and all the work was done pretty much about a week which is quite reasonable especially considering that there were a couple of rainy days which held the painting back a bit..   The painting was flawless and the carpentry work was well done.   I will definitely use David in the future.

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in East Haven, CT

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.
