"Zach did a wonderful job on our bathroom remodel. He was very reasonably priced, showed up on time every day and always kept us informed. We were very happy with his work and we are already planning our next remodel with him."

"Only thing they did themselves was the patio ceiling & French drain for my project. Acted as hiring contractor for all the other work. Overall project was a success, but I didn't appreciate how the lead crewman/ owner spoke to his employee. Subcontractors that were hired were excellent."

"I just had Elm Construction Services replace the roof on our new home. I have to say, I’m really impressed. We went with asphalt shingles and they look beautiful! What I loved most was how professional everyone was. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and actually cleaned up better than I expected - you’d never know they were even here. They were also super patient with all my questions (and I had a lot!). The quality of their work is top-notch. You can tell they really care about doing things right, not just getting it done quickly. My neighbors have even commented on how great the roof looks. If you’re in the Lake Oswego or Portland area and need roofing work done, I’d definitely recommend giving Elm Construction Services a call. It’s such a relief to find a contractor you can trust who actually delivers on their promises!"

"Dave was professional and prompt. He asked questions and gave honest feedback and shared his construction knowledge. His prices were fair and the job was done quickly. He wasn’t happy until the job was done right and that I was satisfied. I really appreciated his integrity & work ethic"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Alex was friendly and provided the lowest bid, but the project had significant compliance and quality issues. A 5-day estimate stretched to 8; while I prioritized quality over speed, the final stages felt rushed and lacked transparency. Most concerningly, the top step was installed at an 8.5? rise, violating Oregon code. Alex admitted he knew it was out of code but did not disclose this until we pointed it out. The resolution process was defensive and difficult. While early work was careful, quality declined on the final day. Alex recommended leaving one step sloped, then later criticized the look of his own recommendation. I had to personally shim and level a tread myself after he left. Additionally, the railing was cut short and visibly patched, and our hallway baseboards were discarded without consultation. To his credit, Alex offered to return for finishing work the next day. However, the lack of transparency regarding code and the inconsistent finish were disappointing."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Portland, OR

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.
