"I recommend Allshire highly and without reservation. Russ, John, and all their crews were professional and we felt comfortable throughout the process. Our bathroom was fully gutted and rebuilt (with same footprint) - the end result was fantastic and I believe the value was very high. Just to make others aware - we had a fair amount of back and forth with the inspectors from our township and had several hardware items delivered to our house that were broken so they had to be re-ordered - so job took longer than we (and Allshire) expected. That said, the company has many positive attributes: 1) communication is solid 2) attitude is positive and professional 3) final workmanship very high 4) pricing very reasonable 5) overall demeanor is friendly and flexible which is what we wanted. We will call them again when we get ready to remodel our kitchen. Allshire is a good company because it is made of good people."

"(1) I phoned for an appointment Nov 13, 2017. (2) Technicians came on 11-16-17. (3) I had chimney cap installed AND I THOUGHT a chimney video inspection. NEVER saw the video. (4). On 12-6-17, the Chimney Cap was BLOWN OFF OF CHIMNEY and LYING BENT in the yard. (5) On 12-6-17 I phoned Det. Chimney to advise them of my concern and request a repair appointment. (I spoke with Brittany.) Technician also said chimney and fireplace was clear. IT WAS NOT. THERE WERE TWO Squirrels inside (died) as a result of their inadequacies. (They had advised me when I made the appointment that they would check for squirrel/bird and they could remove if necessary) What follows here is a travesty!!! I was given an appointment for 12-7-17 BUT NO ONE CAME and NO ONE CALLED. I phoned and they seemed surprised that no one showed for repair. I was given an appointment for the 7th and then again the 8th with the same outcome....NO SHOW & NO CALL. I phoned them on seventh and asked what happened? They said "Oh it was windy, we will be out tomorrow (8th)" NO SHOW. To wrap this up, because I am very frustrated in just typing this review and reliving this debacle, I eventually spoke with a Ms. Moore and she assured me someone would be out. NO SHOW.. I DEMANDED a refund at this point. REFUND finally came on 12-27-17. I ALSO HAD TO HIRE ANOTHER COMPANY TO REMOVE THE 2 dead squirrels and disinfect the area and deal with all of the problems that Det. Chimney's lack of professionalism failed to detect. I WAS ORIGINALLY ADVISED THAT THEY COULD ADMINISTER THESE SERVICES!!! I only received $150 back and I should've demanded the video inspection because you could clearly see the squirrels. I did find that Detroit City Sweep, LLC does not provide the same services to the city residents as it does to its suburbon customers."

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.
