"I highly recommend Loft Remodeling for any home renovation or improvement needs. As first-time homeowners, we had a lot of questions about maintaining and upgrading our space, and Mike was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Not only did he fix issues quickly and efficiently, but he also took the time to explain how we could tackle similar projects ourselves in the future. Mike helped us with a wide range of tasks—from painting a room and installing a new microwave (including venting it properly), to replacing sink piping and more. He was approachable, communicated clearly every step of the way, and brought a high level of skill to each project. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to working with him again."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"The Watry crew worked all day and installed a new roof on my home. It looks great. They tore off the old shingles and repaired some old areas and installed GAF shingles. At the end of the day all the debris was cleaned up and the yard looked great."

"The frame around our leaded glass window was rotting.   Rather than install a new window, Superior was able to save the existing leaded glass window and just install a new storm/screen.  They rebuilt the rotting frame.  Looks beautiful.  Much cheaper than a window replacement and kept the integrity of the house intact.  Nice people. Good work. Good prices.

"4 hour drywall repair package purchased. Drywall repair took 2 hours and was done well. Provider offered to come back to make up the 2 hours with painting the drywall and also LR ceiling. In this process he moved a heavy cabinet I specified must not be moved as it would scratch the hardwood floors.  The floors were deeply scratched necessitating a $1300 sanding and refinishing project for my floors."

"Kirch installed a deck for an above ground pool including stairs, rails, and gate. They were extremely easy to work with, responsive, and provided ideas for the project. The quote was competitive and I never had to worry about anything. I felt very confident with the work and staff. Even my kids said that they were nice!! The deck looks amazing and is built with high quality materials that will last a life time. Communication was constant. They did lots of different things to make it look great including picture frame border, lining the deck under the pool edge and other nice touches"

"The crew worked tirelessly on our 1903 bungalow near the lake. They encountered issues with the framing and the old construction, but came up with smart solutions and provided a strong, properly built, and beautiful staircase. Joe kept us in the loop and up to speed on progress and his thoughts on how to overcome issues. The plumbers were great as well. He coordinated with the City for service shut-offs. The plumbing looks and functions great."

"Let me start by saying I recommend and will use Zimmerlee in the future. They were not the lowest bid, but provided the most comprehensive work description in the bid.
Every construction job will have unforeseen items crop up, sometimes in the favor of the people paying the bill, but more often there are additional costs involved. This was no exception,
As the tear off was proceeding, the gutters fell of because the fascia board that was there was to narrow and too thin, so there was nothing for the gutters to hold on to during the tear off. Of course that lead to installing fascia board, gutters, and soffit because of the low price some one else paid years ago.
The additional cost was very reasonable, considering I had no choice but to have the additional work done.When it's all said and done Zimmerlee was not the lowest bid, I tend to shy away from the low bids because "you get what you pay for".  But what was most important is that I got more than what I paid for.  We have had unusual and extremely heavy rains and winds since the work was completed, I have not had a single issue with the work not holding up. I am very satisfied with the price I paid because Zimmerlee did such a good job the first time, there was no need for any warranty work to be performed. That is a bargain in my book."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Elm Grove, WI

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.
