"Mid Pac Services provided a competitive price to replace a water heater that was in a difficult spot made more difficult after a kitchen remodel. I had contacted another company to quote the job they refused because the heater was in a difficult location. Mid Pac was not scared off by this work. I was provided a time and material quote that was fair for the requested work. Due to the location of my water heater, I would have had to install a 50% smaller unit. I did not want to do that so I asked BJ if a tankless unit was a possibility. He understood my concern and prepared a revised quote on a Sunday. When the work began, I was kept apprised of the daily progress which was much appreciated since I was 5000 miles away at the time. Additional time was required to complete the job due to upgraded electrical wiring needed for the tankless heater. Once the job was complete, BJ contacted me to let me know there were punch list items be completed. These items could have easily been forgotten or not completed since I was not on island. BJ ensured the job was done right and all open items were completed to his satisfaction and mine. Now that I am on island, I can say the work looks great and the hot water is endless! My wife is also thrilled the job is done and with Mid Pac, there was no stress. As the saying goes, happy wife, happy life!"

"We had around 450 sq ft of deck and railing, as well as some major supporting structures in need of repair. Christian and his crew, Joshua and Stan, secured the railing, repaired the old deck and replaced deck posts, supporting beam and joists. We are very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the attention to detail.. Throughout the project, Christian was always available for discussion and feedback. Christian started and ended the project as proposed. We feel very safe and secure walking around the deck and we will call Christian again for our next home improvement project."

"We hired DSK Contractor to put in below grade beams and install 3 glue-lam beams where the old ones were insufficient or the house was sagging. The crew did an excellent job with a difficult project, coping with weather and tight spaces. The experience and knowledge of the contractor showed in his explanation of what his crew would do and in the efforts at problem-solving, which are inevitable when dealing with old houses. Overall we are very pleased with the project."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Hilo, HI

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.
