"Jim The Handyman did an excellent job repairing the damaged ends of our windowsills. After sanding, caulking, priming and painting, they look new again. The technician was courteous, timely, friendly, and effective. We plan to have him come back at some point to do the remaining windowsills. Thank you for doing such outstanding work."

"I found Navid’s Construction to be first rate in not only only their work and craftsmanship but also their customer service commitment to take care of all the little things that make the difference. I highly recommend them to anybody in need of their services. while the work was interior work, they spent a lot of time prepping outside on one of the coldest days of the years without complaint and stayed until the job was done. Very satisfied customer! "

"After painstaking research and false starts, I found Construction Systems and glad I did! The crew was professional - defined as on time, detail oriented, efficient, thorough, patient in addressing my concerns, and top notch work. They ensured the gable work was excellent before calling it done. Joe’s estimate work was good and reasonably priced. Peace of mind knowing the job was priced well, done right, on time, and site cleaned up are invaluable."

"Alpha Home Services was such a big help! I had a water leak incident that damaged the floor and ceiling of my home and Alpha Home Services was able to come quickly and open the ceiling and take out the dry wall. The first day they came they laid out all the plastic and closed off the damaged area and took out the dry wall to let air dry the foundation of the home. The next day they let it dry and came to check and spray to ensure there would be no mold. After they came again to install new dry wall and paint. They also were able to give me an estimate for all the damages and talk to my insurance company for the claim. I was able to get my claim and my home repaired in no time. Thank you again!"

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Arlington, VA

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.
