"Bob has done numerous projects for our old house over the years mainly carpentry, and most recently to replace cedar siding on a large area of the house. Bob does excellent carpentry and finish work and is an extremely hard worker. He has also done wood gutter repair, cleaning and sealing, hung exterior doors and installed exterior wood railings for us. The various projects have involved a significant amount of high exterior painting. He has a wide range of skills and excellent problem-solving ability. Because of this history, we have a lot of trust that Bob will do an excellent job at whatever project he accepts. "

"We recently completed a gut reno and second story addition. After engaging 10 different contractors, MP was the most communicative, interested, flexible and competitively priced. MP has a large in-house team of experts that work efficiently and adapt to the home owner’s needs and preferences. The employees worked 6 days a week and took great pride in their work. They were personally invested in our project and wanted to make it the home of our dreams. The team includes an amazing designer, Nataly, who helped with selecting finishes. The onsite foreman, Adriano, demonstrated expertise and kindness. Seichelle and Marco did an excellent job with operations, ordering materials and problem-solving. We have been back in our home for 10 months. Anytime I have an issue, Seichelle and the team have addressed it. They have gone above and beyond what is expected. We could not be more pleased with our project. We strongly recommend MP for your next project!"

"Bruno and his team did an absolutely fantastic job at my new house. Started off just hiring him to do the interior painting, but ended up having him and his team do some tiling/kitchen backsplash, fireplace remodeling, front door and a laundry renovation. Him and his guys were extremely careful and efficient with their work. Cowboy General Services can truly do it all. I will definitely be hiring Bruno and his team again for my next home project!"

"We’ve been working with Jorge and his team for about two months now on a major two-family full gut / reconstruction project in Watertown. The property was in serious disrepair (not a light renovation) and the scope has been complex — demo, excavation coordination, permitting, and preparing for framing and full rebuild. So far, Jorge has been excellent. His team has moved with real speed and professionalism, and he’s been extremely responsive throughout the process. What stands out is that he takes the job seriously — he’s organized, communicates clearly, and is willing to work through creative solutions when the project throws curveballs (which always happens on a heavy renovation like this). He also has a strong design eye and gives practical feedback on what will actually work in the field, not just what looks good on paper. As a licensed GC myself, I wanted to partner with someone I could rely on to help manage a project of this size and complexity, and Jorge has delivered. We’ve"

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Salem, MA

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.
