"I had an excellent experience with this carpentry company. They came out to repair my subfloor and joists, and the quality of their work was fantastic. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way. I also really appreciated how respectful and courteous they were in my home. The repairs were done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dependable, skilled carpentry work!"

"This company is first class all the way, They renovated my basement with tiled flooring, tiled walls in the bath, new walls and painting, and plumbing. They hung the door correctly but I wanted it to open opposite from what they had. They changed it out without complaint or extra charge. The whole crew was courteous and pleasant to be around. I liked them so much that I hired them to install a new front porch in a month or so. So happy that I found this company, and highly recommend them."

"Guillermo and his crew did a wonderful job completing the three projects I needed done. They expertly fixed my sliding glass doors on 2 of my bathtubs. They also power washed my entire downstairs patio that had accumulated a ton of pollen/mold over the years. My patio was sparkling and ready for guests afterwards. They also fixed my front screen door so it could close properly. I would hire this business in a New York second if I ever needed repair work done again in my home. "

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Highlands, 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.
