"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again. "

"Erick and his team were timely, efficient, and overall excellent in completing two big projects at our home. The first was a build out for a tight attic space installing a swing door entry that gave us much needed storage. He lined the entry with lights and paneled over a large space in tight quarters. The second involved a storage room build out from a very unfinished space that ended with a beautiful storage room relocating piping and installing recessed lighting. The whole time Erick was timely, accurate, and professional throughout and delivered on time with high quality work. I will use Erick for all future home projects and highly recommend him and his team. "

"A million thank u's to Declan, Jackie, Vince, Alex and Holden. Job well done! My bathroom and loft look wonderful. I was very nervous about this project. Had a previous issue with someone else who ghosted me and left my vanity in the dining room. Nice huh? Luckily, Jackie called me though Angi's list, booked an appointment and the rest was magic! Attention to detail, quality and accountability describes this company. Thanks again everyone! I'll be seeing you in the spring! "

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in San Rafael, CA

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.
