"I don't think I could have found a more professional and knowledgeable person on the subject of home improvement. Dan stopped by for an initial assessment of the project, took measurements and recommended Scherer brothers lumber yard over the home improvement stores (I.e. Home Depot, menards, etc) which saved us $500 on our custom door. He removed the old door, installed the new one and storm door in 5 hours. When he finished, he walked through recommended maintenance of the door and certain finishing tips. My one criticism would be a need for a written quote prior to work (since there was a question about the original quote). However, this was not a major issue."

"Nick replaced our old wooden deck with a screen porch and it turned out perfect. He used quality materials and was super easy to work with. I'm confident he could build any deck/screen porch you can imagine. The best part is he charges quite a bit less than other companies!"

"This was the second project that I have hired TCH to do. It's so nice to be able to hire one contractor and have the same people do all of the work (plumbing, carpentry, tile work, etc.,) instead of having to hire a different company for each part of the project, or have a company sub out the work. TCH has the best personnel, always punctual and very cooperative. Regularly checking with me to be sure the job gets done the way I expected. They were very careful to protect all areas from dust and debris and made an exceptional effort to clean up at the end of each day and when the job was completed. I also think the price was reasonable. Thanks go out to both Cory's for all of their hard work. Another expert job by TCH."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Amazing and better than expected! Dealing with contractors is not always an enjoyable experience and we are happy to report that Minnesota Construction and Property Management was a treat to work with.

During the initial consultation, Trevor listened to our request to improve our outdoor living space and offered design solutions the other companies hadn't at a price that was more reasonable. It almost seemed too good to be true.

We were tentatively scheduled to begin work on the deck towards the end of May. Thanks to a mild winter and Trevor's excellent time management, they began working on our project at the end of March and finished within a week (and that includes the snow delay and a weekend off)! 

We have the nicest deck in the neighborhood. The crew is polite, hard-working, and detail-oriented. They have pride in their carpentry skills and we are the beneficiaries of their amazing work.

Friends and family are impressed with what we received and are clamoring for Minnesota Construction and Property Management's contact information.

We would use them again and recommend them for your home improvement project!

"We are very happy with the work that was done by Cabinets for Everyone. We arrived at a new design concept, it was accurately priced by Vlad. The schedule called for the complete project to be done in two weeks and it was. Including installation of our new appliances and re-wiring of cabinet lights. We have recommended this company to many friends who have also had a top notch experience with the Cabinets for Everyone crew. Wilt Berger"

"After another company installed the supporting retaining wall, Artistic Fence came in a week later and a two-man team installed the fence posts. Then about three days after that a different carpenter came and built the fence. The fence looked great and the three gates worked fine.
After about a week, the main gate started to stick when opening. Since the sticking seemed to be getting worse, I called the company and explained the problem. Shortly, a temporary brace was installed to support the gate. Their carpenter reported that one of the fence posts supporting the gate was warped (this was what we suspected). He recommended two possible solutions: install a bracket between the post and our garage, or remove the warped post and install a new one. We decided to try the bracket idea.
It took a little time for their carpenter to fit us in. He installed the bracket with additional bracing on the inside of the garage making it very strong. The gate works fine now with no sticking.
While I felt like I had to prompt the company a few times, and it took a little bit of time to get the warped post braced, I am very happy with the finished product."

"Scheduling was easy and services were completed within a week of my initial contact. It can be difficult to find someone who is willing to do a small home repair job, so I'm thrilled to have a contact for future projects. Larry is very professional-- he's efficient, knowledgeable, no-nonsense, and friendly. What more could a person ask for? Don't hesitate to give him a call!

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Howard Lake, MN

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.
