"Overall was a great interaction from start to finish. The job they did on our railings was great. They were thorough, polite, and professional. Would gladly hire them again for any future projects. "

"We were very happy with the work completed by Leon Home Repairs. They were efficient and thorough. The work included installing a new countertop, sink, faucet,, and light fixture in one bathroom and painting the bathroom; removing painted wallpaper from one large wall and smoothing and painting the wall; replacing one set of bifold closet doors and trimming off and adjusting multiple other sets so they would operate smoothly; and replacing large window panels and the door in our front entryway. Dimas, who served as the foreman for the work on our house, also smelled gas in our utility closet and on his own initiative, figured out where the gas leak was and showed us, so we could call someone to come repair that. The team had an excellent range of skills and knowledge to tackle the variety of work we needed them to do. We will definitely call Leon Home Repairs again if we need more work done in the future."

"M&G responded quickly to Angi’s list request for “odds & ends” tasks leftover from remodeling 2 years ago … The “Door Doctor” and his assistant got to work right away rehanging a fence gate, unsticking interior doors, aligning and adding a brace to a wooden screen door and suggesting a big improvement of re-mounting my tv to an appropriate position above a fireplace mantle. It’s so nice to have these little, everyday annoyances resolved! "

"Roberto did a great job. I used him immediately for two other projects based on the excellent work, speed of completion and fair pricing of the pool deck. He also built a privacy fence and replaced a rotting deck. I am keeping him in my list of approved pros and will use him in the future without hesitation."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Durham, NC

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.
