"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."

"MidCity Handyman and Remodeling installed tile flooring throughout our basement, and it is completely transformed the space! Their attention to detail with each tile placement was impressive. They worked quickly but did not sacrifice quality, making sure everything was level and beautifully aligned. We were so thrilled with the final look, and the durability is perfect for a high-traffic area like our basement. Highly recommend them for any tile work!"

"Greg is a VERY talented carpenter; He's professional, but warm; Extremely qualified, but humble; Quite creative, but open to new ideas, Detail oriented, and precise. He is honest, diligent, a good communicator, and responsible. Greg designed, custom built and installed wooden bookshelves on either side of our fireplace. It was NOT a simple job; it required major expertise, and Greg has it! Working with Greg was seamless; A very positive experience. His price was more than fair. I HIGHLY recommend Greg for any skilled/finished carpentry project you may have."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
