"My old 80s kitchen needed serious help, and I wasn't sure anyone could give me the french cottage feel I dreamed of, but Nelly quickly saw my vision and nailed it ! It's now modern, functional, and full of the charm I have always wanted. We love the huge island that fits our whole family, and the pot filler has been a game changer for making our family soups . The crew was polite, clean, and fast. I highly recommend JADA Construction &Design for any kitchen project!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"On day of booking informed I would not be there but assured the Handyman will call and review when onsite. That never happened, calls were only done or relayed with Cistomer Servuce Reos. One speaking terrible English you couldn?t understand. Two metal post mailboxes they took upon their own doing to change to a cheap 4x4 vs the steel post that was there originally hired to replace. Follow-up day after and Terrible customer service! Request to talk to the owner and the arrogant customer service rep leaves no option to discuss things with the owner with multiple request. Just as yesterday before the work was done asked to talk to the Handyman onsite and was never able to discuss any details with him to avoid materials being substituted at their own doing."

"I recently bought a house in Winnetka and the exterior trim was in bad condition in a couple of spots. Not a lot of contractors wanted to do this job but they did. They replaced all the bad trim and did it to completion. Trim, Paint, Caulking, everything. They even pointed out things that also needed work that I didn?t notice. I highly recommend hiring GF Carpentry if you want Good and honest work done.?"

My name is Gabriel Taylor. I attended Colombia College with a Bachelor of Arts. Upon graduation, i entered the advertising world fabricating models and props for t.v. and print ads. My knowledge of tools expanded greatly. Having always been handy, this fine tuning of shop skills led me to realize that there's much more job availability in home repair/ remodeling/ etc. Now, with 25 years of experience under my thumb, there is little that i haven't come across in the world of trade work. From electrical, carpentry, plumbing, painting, locksmithing, tile, etc., i always deliver quality results with a strong artistic awareness and touch. Caring for the customers wants and needs is primary. I believe in giving them exactly what i would want in a skilled worker in my home. Kindness, honesty, cleanliness, reliability, and quality results.

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Chicago, IL

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.
