"Great company. I did my 2 patio doors first. I have not had much luck when dealing with companies on repairs of my home so I wanted to see how this project went before I did any of my other windows. Literally, everything went perfect! Kevin installed my patio doors, sealed and caulked them and cleaned up everything. No stress. I was honestly surprised that everything went so smoothly, from ordering to installment. I decided to go ahead and do the 7 windows in my house. Dennis made sure my order was correct and exactly what I wanted before placing my order. He told me they would be ready in about 12 weeks and they were. Eddie and Jimmy installed them. Again, perfect! They also did my basement hopper windows and exceeded my expectation by fixing the loose wood sills and putting molding on the outside of the house. The windows and doors are very nice. I do not have any drafts, I immediately noticed less noise from the outside, and the glass does not get hot from the sun like my old windows did. Now that all my windows are replaced, I am sure I will see a bigger difference in my gas and electric bills."

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.
