"Worked with Vitaly/Blue Fin on smaller projects for almost 10 years and am really happy with the latest build. New family home; 2800 sq ft with 10’ and 16’ walls. Framed up and dried in within our budget and timeline and am very pleased with the end result. A lot more work to get to the finish line and will be hiring him to help with elements for the rest of our build. Would highly recommend Vitaly and his team for your next project. "

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Kailua, 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.
