"We are currently building our dream home with Greg (GPR Builders) Besides building our home, he also sold our current home for above asking price. We could not be happier. Greg is very knowledgeable and a hard worker. Because of this being a custom home, we are able to help with the design and make changes all with Gregâ s assistance. He has an excellent eye for design. We canâ t wait to move in!"

"We now have a lovely kitchen that is a pleasure to work and live in. Our home is over 70 years old and past remodeling made for some strange surprises. Roger finds ways to fix problem areas correctly. He is detail oriented and carefully monitors the work of all the subcontractors, having them correct things not up to his standards. Roger installed the cabinets and did all the finish carpentry himself- his perfectionism here is much appreciated. The color scheme we chose is not commonly used; after looking several places for tile, we found only one match for the back splash. It was very costly ,so we settled on white subway tile. But before it was time for installation, Roger found the sea green glass tiles that make our kitchen perfect. In addition to our kitchen we had some door problems that he also took care of for us, Overall, working and getting to know Roger has been a very positive experience. We look forward to hiring him in the future."

"This company ranks the highest with me. From the initial measuring and estimate, to the installation, and then a minor manufacturing issue, I could not be happier with choosing Superior to install my windows. It took me almost 6 months of research before finally pulling the trigger to hire Superior. I went overboard and got estimates from 9 different businesses. They used different window manufacturers and for one reason or other (my comfort with the business, quality of window or cost), all were eventually crossed off the list. In a last ditch attempt to find other service providers before having to settle for someone I already crossed off, I stumbled upon Superior! When I called to set up my measurement appointment I found out that they used a window I was already well educated on, and was on the top of my list! Ryan came out to measure, he was very knowledgeable, personable, and I felt comfortable with him. He was going to be doing the actual installation as well. When I received the quote, it was $2,500 less than an identical quote from another installer. I was already sold on the product, felt comfortable with who was going to be doing the install, it was a no brainer to go with Superior. The windows were ordered, installation was scheduled once they came in, and the whole process was flawless! Once Ryan started working, it was very obvious he is a perfectionist. The sliding door and windows were installed perfectly. I did find a scratch on the glass of one of the windows, and the office manager Stephanie, came out to inspect it and ordered a new window pane for me and then came to install it once it arrived. Ryan and Stephanie had really made this big purchase happen for me with very little effort on my part. They have handled every little issue that came up to my complete satisfaction with great professionalism. I would love to hire Superior for additional work I was to complete in my house!"

FAQs for carpentry framing installation projects in Waukesha, WI

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.
