"JADA Construction really came through on a difficult window replacement for a 19th century building! The windows were all over 80? in length, so had to be custom built to fit. JADA handled everything from measuring, getting custom windows, and installing on a beautiful November day. Their install team was courteous and cleaned up after themselves throughout the process. I definitely recommend JADA for your custom home needs!"

"Robert and his crew were the best at everything, from the initial estimate, to the scheduling, to the high-quality work, all done in a very short time, even in freezing weather! I would hire them again for any framing. They are some of the hardest-working guys that I have seen in a while, showing up every day at 7am, getting started right away, and not stopping until they were done. Very good experience!"

"I used On the Ball Remodeling Services to transform my new home. They put in new floors, painted all the walls and interior trim, replaced baseboards, painted my kitchen cabinets and installed a new backsplash, and a whole bunch more. Working with Jabari was a pleasant experience. He was quick to communicate if issues arose through the course of the work and offered solutions, even recommendations on what would match the aesthetic I was going for. I was scared to take on renovations, but after this experience, I know who I'll be going to for any other projects I may need and who I'll be recommending to friends and family looking to undertake renovations."

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.
