"I wish that I had asked for a quote on the project first so that I could see the breakdown. The project was twice as much as I had budgeted for. Initially I was told the hourly rate of the person providing the estimate and that it would be 1 day of work. I most likely would still have had the project done by this company but I would have planned differently."

"About a month ago, a young man from Power Home Remodeling - The Quality Assurance Manager, Alex P. came to my home to inspect the work one of his crews did on my home...they replaced all the gutters and trim...$9,000 worth of gutters/trim....He needed to get up into my attic space b/c I was told the only way to 'certify' the warranty was to see the work (soffits) from inside as well...he would not take NO for an answer....tells me again about certifying the warranty so finally, I let him up there...lo and behold he says he finds water damage...I look at what he sees and I can't say yes or no that it is exactly what he is telling me... He is very aggressive during his 'pitch' for a new roof...he says that as 'management' he can bundle the gutters and roof together...he writes all of this down on a piece of paper (which I am in possession of)...says he can do both jobs for $24,900...roof and gutters... He shows me the figures...I see it on paper...how much it would cost and its monthly payment...I speak with my wife and we decide to put $10k down...he says to me that $10k will come off the $24,900 once the financing is set...he writes all of this down right in front of me...tells me the $10k will come off the loan as a down payment ... THIS WAS A BOLD FACED LIE... At no time did he EVER say the cost of this project would be $34,000+...my paper work that he showed me, DID NOT have that figure on it...if it did...I would have said NO...he told me the entire project would be $24,900...not $34,900... Had I not looked at the financing paper when it came in, I would have never known I was deceived...at no time was the cost of both projects more than $24,900...I call the company to complain...I tell them what I have in front of me...the figures that were agreed upon by my wife and I and their man Alex P...all they can say is...you signed the agreement!!! Over and over this is what I am told...I ask for Alex P to call me and to this date (6/12/25) I have yet to hear from the guy. Why is that? He's the Quality Assurance Manager...the guy who told me b/c he is management, he can give me a better price...this companies practices are deceptive. Yup I signed the agreement but was told something totally different! I am happy with the product and work but come on...everything you read for reviews on this company is 100% accurate...from how they ended up at my home (doing work in the neighborhood...sure they were!) I just threw away $10k because of this companies deceptive practices!!!! And again, why hasn't Alex P called me back? B/c they got what they wanted and know they are wrong! I have received responses from the company and both responses DO NOT address the deceptive practices of their QA manager, Alex P...I know what I was told and what I was shown for a total price. They make it as if I am an idiot and am making this stuff up...I am not!!! I am not saying I am devoid of blame here b/c I trusted them and in the end, I was misled by this company!"

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.
