"It is very hard to find trustworthy folks but when my co worker recommended Angi's. It was there I discovered West Coast Carpenters. After speaking to Ms. Amber via telephone, she visited our home and spoke to my son. Ms. Amber was professional with my son and he even said, first impressions are always true and Ms. Amber was just that mom. Mr. Sam, Ms. Amber and the West Coast Crew were professional, prompt, communicated very well, they were very patient and the price was reasonable. I will definitely call them back for all our future projects. Thank you West Coast Carpenters, LLC so much. "

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Anchorage, AK

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.
