"I found Ralph of KLK Carpentry on Angi and couldn’t be happier. He completed three major projects in my condo: custom built-in dining nook shelves and extensive wall trim/paneling in the living room and hallway. The craftsmanship is extremely detail-oriented and looked beautiful even before paint. I shared inspo photos (1.5” colonial trim spaced 2” in the living room and 2.5” hotel-style chair rail spaced 4” in the hallway), and he sourced trim even better than I envisioned. Of three quotes, his pricing was fair and competitive, and it included materials, which was so helpful. He’s insured, efficient, and highly professional. What truly sets him apart is his communication and temperament. He was responsive, calm, and reassuring throughout. Even when my vision shifted mid-project, he’d simply say, “Ok, no problem.” The entire process felt smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him and will absolutely hire him again."

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.

"Roman was awesome to work with from design to quotation to permits to construction to inspection. High quality work and makes sure you are satisfied with his work. My deck was falling down and needed to be replaced. Roman did everything but the sanding and staining of the cedar which i did. He might have included that in the quote if I asked him to but I choose to do it. Highly recommend him. "

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Downers Grove, 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.
