"I’m so glad we went with Bels Island Home Improvements! We were looking for experience and quality work to redo our large roof on our home and garage and that’s exactly what we got. The team did an awesome job. We had to get some new raking for the roof so we opted to do new raking everywhere, what a difference. Also, we needed more venting in our attic as it never circulated correctly so they added venting along the edges of the roof and makes such a difference and prolongs the roof. They were professional, efficient and got the job done in a timely manner. I’m so glad for that since I am currently a stay at home mom with 3 kids. :) We were so pleased with their work, very reasonably priced and how beautiful our house looked that we wound up getting a quote for our siding as it so badly needed to be taken care of. I liked their price and selection of colors that we went with Bels Island to do our siding as well. The great thing about working with them is that they can also do other construction needs, they put in a new window for our home, we got a price on the front door but didn't wind up doing that, also we had structural damage in the back part of our house. The team was able to completely take care of it instead of calling another person to come out and fix it which was a huge deal. Our old window trim on our replacement windows was in bad shape and rotted here and there, so I asked them if there was a way to keep the new windows and replace just the trim and they made it happen. I asked to have the trim size thicker than standard since we weren't putting shutters next to them and our house is long. The window projected turned out amazing. All we have to do is paint. They made other suggestions that helped protect our home for many years to come! They were very flexible with any other things we wanted to add to our project. Getting our roof and siding done by Bels made our house so beautiful and “sealed up” that I love our home again and makes me want to stay here even longer. I highly recommend Bels Island Home Improvement and be as happy as we are about your home again!! Kelly Farwell 9 Truro Rd Mashpee, MA 02649"

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.
