"I hired ZVL Contracting to do a complete renovation and update of our deck. But when we opened the floorboards there were a lot of problems with the beams. The contractor fixed everything and finished the job as promised."

"Bruns Remodel has done numerous projects for me including the removal of a cement utility sink, installing a new smaller sink, and moving my washer and dryer which involved plumbing, duct work, etc. Mr. Bruns also CREATED a new bay window sill from raw ash wood - very involved project requiring precise measurements and staining/poly to match my hardwood floors (beautiful!!). Other projects included attic insulation; AC unit removal/installation; installation of an outdoor motion light; power washing siding; toilet installation. Extremely satisfied with all of the many projects completed by Bruns Remodel!"

"All went well. The demolition of the old porch went well. The construction of the two car garage also went well. Coordination with the other members of the team (masonry, electrician) went well and was timed well.  Project was on time and completed on time.  All workers worked well and displayed a high level of skill for their trade.
After the job was completed I received very favorable comments from neighbors about the finished product.

"I purchased all the necessary materials myself. All they had to do was install. I was charged $75 $68 with the 5% off coupon) for less than 1/2 hours worth of work. That translates to $150 an hour ($142.5o with a 5% discount). I like PPHI, but that price for a simple install (which I could have done myself or had my neighbor do for free), I feel is very overpriced."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Wilkes Barre, 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.
