"My house was in a need of a major face lift. In preparation for the approaching cold months, and inevitably spending more time in doors, we wanted to make sure that all of our major updates were finished before the cold Michigan weather came sweeping in to spoil the summer fun. So naturally it was decided that the time had come to remove the awful wallpaper in the den and master bathroom!
 I met with four contractors, Elysium's bid was admittedly higher in price. However, based on their outstanding reputation and the detail and clarity that their estimator brought to the table we signed the contract.
All of the work was completed as promised and within the given time frame. There were no nasty surprises when the materials invoice came and the ghastly wallpaper is gone for good. Looking forward to spending time in my updated den this winter, thank you Elysium for doing a great job!

"They sent about 15 workers and 8 hours later we have a brand roof! They were very professional, covered my flowers and landscaping before doing the job, went through the yard after with a magnet to do all the cleaning up of the left over parts and nails. They were very careful with the job overall and did an amazing job."

"Nathan checked in with us almost every day during the 5 month remodel.  He had other jobs running with other crews at the same time as ours, and we had workers at our house most days, which was o.k.. We lived in the house during the remodel (the original kitchen and another bathroom were functional and in a different part of the house).  His cabinet installer and his dry waller were topnotch.  His electrician, not so much (Nathan has a different electrician now, I believe).  He was not familiar with our county's code requiring kitchen light switches every few feet, and we unfortunately neglected to designate which switches should control which lights in multiple-switch fixtures, leading to small daily annoyances. 

We are so happy with the way our plan turned out; the only concern we have now is that the floor above our crawl space has sagged, and we need to double-check whether the floor joists were properly sistered.  If they were, then we have foundation problems which are not Tri-City's fault.  When we find out, we will update this review."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Akron, MI

Both steel and wood can last over 100 years with proper care. However, wood could rot or warp when exposed to moisture, whereas galvanized steel is rotproof, insect-proof, and much more fire-resistant. Steel is friendlier to the environment as it doesn’t require cutting down trees, and the frame can be recycled. The energy-efficiency rating of metal stud framing can be higher than conventional wood construction. Metal studs are easier and quicker to install.

Whether you’re using wood or metal stud framing, follow the “16 on center” rule, meaning you should have a stud every 16 inches. A 20-foot wall spans a total of 320 inches. This works out to 20 spans of 16 inches, plus one starting stud, for a total requirement of 21 studs to frame a 20-foot wall.

Drywall installation costs $1.15 to $2 per square foot on metal stud framing or $2,300 for an average 2,000-square-foot house. The total cost for metal framing and drywall ranges from $20 to $30 per linear foot. Metal frames often seem light, but they can be exceptionally strong once drywall or sheathing is attached.
