"You Will Not Be Disappointed! We hired Ken and his crew to do all the carpentry work on an inn in Camden that we were totally remodeling. In a desire to keep this review brief, let me begin by saying that he was one of the best contractors we hired for the project, and we had many who were very good; some disappointing but Ken and his crew, were amazing. We hired him for a smaller scope of work, but soon realized that he is a talented general contractor which is evident in how he plans and schedules the work to be done; consults with you along the way - regularly suggesting other ways to proceed with the project - always with an eye toward doing it in a way that is more cost effective. Dependability and punctuality were off the charts. He and his crew were onsite every day as planned and weekends when available. We have since referred him to a number of others who have had equally positive results. His crew members are a pleasure to work with - all very pleasant and polite, with a no nonsense approach to the days work. We still have Ken back to do follow-up work - and although he has a full schedule, with much larger projects, he makes the time to get our smaller jobs done. Can not say enough about what a find he and his crew were to our project."

"We contacted Richard regarding the job, and had a quote back within the week - good quote.  He quickly responded to any questions  we had, and scheduled the work.  They completed the demo in one day, a few days before the cabinets showed up - if I had to do this again, I would hold off on the demolition until the cabinets were in, as it is difficult to live without a kitchen, especially with children.  It took approximately two weeks for the kitchen to be completed, with slight delays due to a damaged cabinet, time for the new countertops to set, appliance delivery, etc.  One hitch developed when the dishwasher was hooked up incorrectly, and water ran into my basement - I called Richard, and once I got through the answering service, he contacted the plumber, and we resolved the problem immediately over the phone, and the plumber was at my house at 8 the next morning ( a Saturday of a holiday weekend) to permanently fix the problem.  At the end of the two weeks, we had a great new kitchen, well installed, and we were thrilled!"

"I had tile installed and was overall very pleased with every aspect of the project. The reason I didnâ t give all five stars was because of a delay in completion of the job, and also because I had to personally make three trips to the hardware store for supplies."

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in South Thomaston, 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.
