"Joshua did an incredible job on our drywall project. He was so communicative, flexible with our schedule and did great work. We had an incredibly tight timeline and Joshua came in and saved the day for us. Can’t recommend him enough. "

"This contractor DID NOT FINISH THE JOB and when I requested he leave the material needed to. finish he agreed but did not leave the materials. I learned, after hiring, the owner and crew drink at lunch and the electrician had to inform him that the bottom studs in my wall were not attached or ready for finishing. Ceiling seams are not finished properly. The area was not cleaned properly and I had to hire a professional to clean. The windows were not protected when they painted and the overspray coated my windows and had to be cleaned by me. He provided me with referrals and they were glowing. I don't know why he was unwilling to complete this room. "

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Lewiston, ME

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.
