"Vince did an awesome job for us framing up a new door in an existing hallway, installing new drywall around the door as well as installing the door, frame, and trim. We were extremely pleased with the work and would recommend to anyone looking for similar work to be done. Vince was very communicative and matched the new door to our existing doors and trim. Highly recommend."

"A frozen pipe in my mother’s kitchen above a finished garage left us in dire straights. The exterior of the home is brick construction from the 1950’s but the pipe froze in such a way as to run across the floor and ruin the vapor barrier in the exterior walls. How to replace it without tearing down the brick? I asked seven contractors for a bid. All came out to look at the job, but it was a complicated repair in a persnickety township. Only two of them actually gave me a bid. I chose A.W. Martin and I’m glad I did. His bid was slightly higher, but his word was true: all expenses he had reckoned with wound up being covered by our homeowner’s insurance. Plus I had direct access to Tony via his cell phone at all times - a novelty to me since it did not work that way when I had used the insurance-preferred contractor for a previous repair. Indeed, communication was superior! Tony took the time to explain all aspects of the job in layman’s terms and didn’t mind if I called back for further clarification. He advised me about modifications that wouldn’t cost much now, but would save big bucks in the future. Tony worked around my schedule, which was important to me since I lived out of state and was overseeing the project from a distance. He sent workers from his team who spoke standard English - important to my elderly mother who is hard of hearing and has trouble understanding folks with accents. (Some of his subcontractors did speak Spanish). To save me money, Tony let me provide a shelving unit that I wanted recessed in a wall, charging only for installation and trimming it. And he dealt with all aspects of the township permit process - no small deal for the township my mother lives in! His electrician, Tim Murphy, installed my preferences of where the ceiling lights should be to the inch - to the inch! This electrician came back out at no charge one week after things were finished when the washing machine ground-faulted out and my mom needed help. It hasn’t happened since. I found Tony to be amiable, generous with his time and very concerned about customer satisfaction. The one down-side was that I had requested no work over the weekends, since Saturday was my day of worship and Sunday my mother’s. I did have to take him to task for scheduling subcontractors on Saturday, and he rescheduled them. If you are a seventh-day Sabbath keeper be very explicit about your request for no Saturday work. All in all, my experience using A.W. Martin was superior. I highly recommend Tony and his company. When I started the repair I had over twenty numbers for contractors on my cell phone. After the job, I am down to four: Russel Garage Door, Rich’s Carpet One, the electrician Tim Murphy, and A.W. Martin, itself."

"This was a big job that was part of a whole-house renovation. JA Drywall installed framing and drywall throughout my second floor (three bedrooms + hallway) that had experienced a fair amount of water damage as the result of a leaky roof. Juan and Joshua were great coordinating the project--super quick response time for a walk-through & estimate. And the crew were great---super nice guys who did a great job. (One of them even lent me a tool to help with a project I was working on in the kitchen!) Both my carpenter and painters were impressed with their work. I would rehire &/or recommend them in a heartbeat."

"Greg and his team were excellent to work with. At our first meeting, Greg arrived on time and was very patient in answering each and every one of our endless questions very throughly as he examined the exterior of the house. It impressed us that during that examination he pointed out items we had never considered and made very helpful recommendations (i.e. Your garage doors are angled at the top corners and block the garage door windows - would you want them reframed squarely when we replace the trim work? You don't have any trim where your porch ceiling meets the brick, would you want that - it would look cleaner?). He also noticed that since we had replaced our windows prior to having the siding done, they hadn't flashed them properly and we should consider addressing that, and discussed the various siding options available and the pros and cons of each. Greg was timely in getting a quote to us, pricing out a variety of options and all were reasonable (especially flashing the windows). After approving certain options and the quote, Greg's communication was also timely and consistent. Upon the start of our job, his crew showed up on time, was very courteous, and cleaned up each day. They had to replace several areas of plywood and properly flashed our windows, in addition to replacing the siding. They framed everything from spigots to light fixture boxes and trimmed everything else nicely too. Our job did get behind schedule, but that was due to Mother Nature's decision to bring rain every single day. What impressed us was that Greg's crew showed up anyway, did what they could, and even worked in the rain to make sure the house was appropriately protected if siding had been removed and would be exposed to the weather. At the end of the job, we noticed a few items that didn't seem quite right (i.e. our bay window was trimmed slightly different on either side as two different crew members had worked on it). Upon notifying Greg of those items, he had his team out the next day and they addressed each one. It's now been a year since our siding was replaced. We opted for the insulated vinyl siding with the wider plank and not only does it look fantastic, we have been thrilled with its performance. We've gone from being one of the least energy efficient homes in our neighborhood to one of the most, and all we changed was the siding. No more drafty outlets, the house holds its heat, and after coming home from the Easter break on an 80 degree day, we thought we would be walking into a sauna. Instead our house was still a comfortable 71. That would not have been the case with our old aluminum siding. The only minor negative is that we were told it will be years until we have to worry about replacing any of the solar seal they used on the trim edges, but it is turning from clear to a yellowish, although maybe that is to be expected - it is holding up otherwise so far. All in all, we are very pleased with our siding, Greg, and his team. Greg is very knowledgable, he and his crew did everything they said they would, and we would definitely use them again and recommend them to others."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
