"I needed the floor of my deck replaced. It is beautiful and the work was done efficiently and within my budget. I also had a flower bed replaced with decorative rocks that turned out better than I expected. I have also had some landscaping done. I would highly recommend Josh's work."

"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."

"Andrew called, set up an appointment, and gave me a quote within a day of us connecting on Angi. He is someone who does what he says he will do and shows up when he says he will show up! He did a fantastic job installing my new deck! . He is very professional, friendly and respectful at all times. I am beyond happy with the new deck, and have already hired him to do my next project. I highly recommend Andrew. He is exceptional to work with!"

"This was my third time working with this contractor and each project was a pleasurable experience! As was the case with the other two, they started this project on time and finished on time! All the work was done according to strict Mount Lebanon code. They made suggestions based upon their experience i.e we wanted a six foot high shadow box fence but while Mount Lebanon code allows for a six foot high privacy fence of just about any style, they do not allow, by code, a six foot high shadowbox fence. Steve Hilpert proceeded to build us a 4 foot high shadowbox fence (the maximum height allowed by code) with a custom built 2 foot high trellis section which Mount Lebanon subsequently approved. The fence looks beautiful!
I was nervous about cutting a big hole in the wall of our addition to install the sliding glass door. Now the door looks like it has been there all along! It came out PERFECTLY!
The deck is also beautiful and solid as a rock! We had an issue with the location of our two central air conditioning units off the back of the house. The other contractors (which I found here on Angie's List as well) said they would just build over these units. Not knowing anything about central air conditioning this seemed reasonable to me. Steve was the ONLY contractor who told me that you absolutely CAN NOT block the air flow above the units! Not only that, he was honest enough to tell me that moving the units should be done by a qualified HVAC contractor. Now that is a contractor you can trust!
All work was completed on time and within budget. The same crew arrived early each day and were polite and professional. The job site was spotless at the end of each day!
If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional contractor, you can not go wrong with SC Hilpert!!!"

"We played email tag for a few days but it was easy to schedule (within a week of my calling). He was able to meet my time parameters easily two hours on two days.  Marty arrived on time and we went over all of the possible jobs I wanted completed and prioritized them. We agreed to do the projects out of order so that he could pick up parts that evening and complete the remaining jobs the following day. Marty was very thorough and efficient diagnosing the electrical problem. He didn't  use up all of the time trying to figure it out. He found an unsafe electrical mess. He showed and explained to me what the issue was and the most efficient and safe option to correct the issue (rewire, cut power to the existing mess). He mounted 1 tv but had to get anchors for the second tv (they weren't included in the box). Next he diagnosed a faulty shop light, determined that it wasn't the bulb or electrical but the fixture itself.  He gave me an estimate on the new fixture and agreed to pick up another fixture in addition to the wall anchors. He came back the next day and completed the remaining jobs without a problem and I settled the tab on parts which was exactly what was estimated.

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Pittsburgh, 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.
