"SUMMARY: SES did high quality work. They stuck to the projected cost. They finished within the estimated timeframe (or at least close enough). PRELIMINARY STAGES: SES promptly returned our initial call and set up a visit by their estimator. Within a very reasonable timeframe (maybe a little more than a week), we had the estimate in hand. In contrast, we were shocked to see how difficult it was to deal with some other contractors--even in the early stage, when we were trying to give them business. DETAILS OF THE JOB: They gutted ~50% of a ~180 sq ft bathroom to the studs; did some framing/re-framing; removed a large tub and patched in some hardwood; completely re-did the mortar bed/tile/plumbing for the shower; re-routed an HVAC intake to a different part of the house; moved/added some plumbing and electrical; installed a new commode and tile floor in a new toilet closet; hung crown molding; installed a double vanity with a stone top; hung a large mirror and frameless shower door; built out 2 closets. QUALITY. Their renovation was high quality and fit perfectly into our 1930’s arts-and-crafts home. They found, sanded, and painted an old 5 panel door to match the doors in rest of the house. The salvaged/refinished pine floor fits into the existing pine floor seamlessly, and the new trim work matches that in the rest of the house. Their tile guy did an outstanding job on the shower—floor to ceiling with a bullnose and a niche. The subs they used for the vanity/stone top and for the mirror/shower door did a high quality job. We designed our closets and the trim carpenter built them out perfectly (soft-close drawers and all). COMMUNICATION. This was a big asset to the SES experience. Ashley kept us posted with an email almost every day. We knew what to expect when we got home from work, as well as what to look for the next day and the rest of the week. In the rare event that there were surprises or delays, Ashley would let us know right away as well as what the resolution would be. While Ashley was the main line of communication, the owner, Shawn, was very accessible as well when necessary. PROFESSIONALISM. All the people we interacted with were professional and punctual. The workers were respectful of us and our home, and they did a great job cleaning up every day. With very few exceptions, people were at the house every weekday (and even some weekend days), from the start to the finish of the project. THE UNEXPECTED. As the work proceeded, some minor structural damage from the old shower had to be addressed and the hot water heater needed some repairs. These were taken care off in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Otherwise, there were a few miscommunications regarding the electrical rough ins, a plumbing valve, the closet build outs, and the shower door. All these were very minor and easily addressed. Along the way—and especially as things neared the end—Shawn made sure we had everything exactly the way we wanted it. This was our first time hiring a contractor. Before our renovation, we had heard many contractor-related horror stories. Our experience with SES was drastically different. We are already scheduling another project with them."

"The salesman came to my home and showed me his product and I expressed my concerens and he listen. He explain what could be done and quoted a price. Two weeks later the installers arrived with the windows. They took out the old windows and put in the new and hooked up the alarm system. Next day the finish up crew came and did the needed stucco and said they would return the next day to finish the job. They arrived as scheduled and finished the job. All the way thru this project if I had a question the workers were willing to give me an ans. I also had a number for the salesman and project manager. They were all very neat and cleaned up after themselves.I certainly will use this company again for future projects."

"After nine months working with CC and many ups, downs, and moments of extreme frustration I can honestly say that we are extremely please with the end product provided by CC. In many areas the results were way beyond my expectations which are very high. We demo-ed a low ceiling sloped roof lean-to that contained our only bath and kitchen and replaced it with 2 story 10 foot ceiling camelback containing downstairs bath, kitchen, upstairs master en suite with a side balcony . They did great work on a custom open staircase hand cut from salvaged cypress and barge-board.Castillo took this staircase on at my request and it did not cost me extra. His carpenters did a great job and it has an awesome rustic look that really goes with the feel of the house. We have exposed bargeboard in a room that was not part of the reno. His tile guy did an exceptional job in both bathrooms and on the kitchen backsplash. We had 5 x 3/4 inch heart pine brought in from Georgia for flooring throughout and CC did a great job installing it. One bath has pine tongue and groove walls and ceiling to replicate the construction that was removed. We had to do some tricky maneuvering around the plumbing here and it all worked out nicely.The foundation was well built and the window framing to match the existing house its truly well done inside and out. we have a balcony off the master bedroom and here they built it out in manner that was above and beyond my expectations -- making the floor waterproof to protect the can lighting underneath.We also ended up with a fantastic floored and foamed attic for storage.

All the problems we had with the work including an HDLC issue were eventually addressed to our satisfaction by CC with full approval by HDLC. We did wish the project had been completed in less time but it did include 2 baths and kitchen and some tricky framing. I reccomend CC whole heartedly but it is important with them as well as any contractor to take a strong interest in your job, know the details of you architectural drawings, and to set a firm time-frame in the contract.

Let me stress this turned out awesome and we felt the cost was extremely fair."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Ama, LA

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.
