"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"I have hired WHL for two jobs, and had an excellent experience both times. The transparency of the process--from the estimate to the build to the cleanup---is most impressive. The crew explains, answers questions, allows choices, and still gets the job done on or ahead of schedule."

"Everything went very well and the work was quickly completed.  Mr. Henderson was able to get started on the work within a week after giving us his quote and completed the work in about a week.  He removed the damaged drywall and fit a replacement piece back into the area, sanded it even and then repainted the ceiling and the walls near the corner of the ceiling.  The work was done extremely well and it is hard to even tell where the damage was/where the repair area is located.  We are extremely pleased with the work.

"Josh McIntyre recently did roof repair and the installation of a new mailbox for me. His work was flawless. I found him to be honest, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to my questions. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible repairman for home maintenance."

"I required a re-screwing of all the boards on my deck as the screw were improperly installed originally (non-rusting should have been installed). I hired this small business in July '17 and rehired in them in Oct '17 per my satisfaction with the first job. The second job included a replacement of an exterior door framing. I'm very satisfied with all the work."

"I was very pleased with the roof that they put on my pergola. Great group of guys, incredibly hard and fast workers, with the upmost quality. I was so impressed I contracted them to put up a roof above the deck and steps at one of my apartments. I highly recommend choosing these guys for your next project!"

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in State College, PA

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.
