Q8. Can you help with permits and inspections?
Yes. We can assist with permit documentation for our scopes and schedule inspections as needed.
Metal Framing
Q9. What is metal stud framing and why choose it?
Cold‑formed steel studs provide straight, dimensionally stable walls, non‑combustible fire resistance, and faster installation compared to wood in many commercial applications.
Q10. Do you provide both interior and exterior framing?
Yes. We install interior partitions, soffits, ceilings, and exterior cold‑formed assemblies per engineered drawings.
Q11. Can metal studs support heavy fixtures?
Yes — with proper gauge, blocking, and backing per manufacturer details and designer specs.
Q12. How do you control sound and fire ratings in framed walls?
We specify stud gauge/spacing, insulation, resilient channels, sealants, and rated drywall layers to achieve the required STC and fire‑resistance (1–2 hour) assemblies.
Drywall Systems & Texture
Q13. What drywall services do you offer?
Hanging, taping, corner and bead, sanding, skim‑coat/level 5, orange peel, knockdown, and custom textures; repairs and patch‑back after plumbing/electrical work.
Q14. What finish level should I choose?
-
Level 4 for most painted walls in standard lighting.
-
Level 5 (skim coat) for critical lighting, high‑gloss, or smooth finishes to minimize flashing/telegraphing.
We’ll recommend the right level for your space and budget.
Q15. How do you keep dust down?
We mask, isolate work areas, use dust‑control compounds, and vacuum‑sanding to reduce airborne dust.
Q16. Do you repair small holes and cracks?
Yes — from nail pops to large cut‑outs. We feather textures to blend seamlessly.
Painting (Interior & Exterior)
Q17. What painting services do you provide?
Full prep (patch, caulk, sand, prime), spray/brush/roll application, trim/doors, accent walls, exterior siding, and commercial coatings.
Q18. What brands and sheens do you use?
We use professional‑grade paints matched to your use case (washable eggshell/satin for living areas, semi‑gloss for trim, elastomeric or acrylic for exteriors). We can color‑match most swatches.
Q19. How long between coats and before moving back in?
Most interiors are dry to touch in 1–2 hours and ready for a second coat in 4 hours; full cure in 2–4 weeks.
Q20. Can you handle occupied spaces?
Yes. We schedule in phases, protect furnishings, and use low‑odor, low‑VOC products when requested.
Acoustic Ceilings
Q21. What are acoustic (drop) ceilings?
Suspended grid systems with acoustical tiles that absorb sound and hide MEP services. Ideal for offices, clinics, classrooms, and retail.
Q22. Do you replace stained or damaged tiles?
Yes. We can repair grid, replace tiles, and upgrade to higher NRC/Fire‑rated products.
Q23. Can you integrate lighting and HVAC?
We coordinate openings and trims with your electrician and HVAC contractor for a clean, code‑compliant finish.
Wall Coverings (Vinyl & Specialty)
Q24. What wall coverings do you install?
Commercial‑grade vinyl wallcoverings, Type I/II, protective wainscot, and select specialty coverings.
Q25. How do you prep walls for coverings?
We repair imperfections, skim as needed, prime with the appropriate adhesive primer, and install per manufacturer specs for long‑term adhesion.
Q26. Can you remove old wallpaper?
Yes. We safely strip, clean, and repair walls, then prime for paint or new coverings.
Estimates, Pricing & Scheduling
Q27. How do you price projects?
We provide transparent, line‑item estimates. Pricing is based on square footage, finish level, ceiling height, access, specialty details, and schedule.
Q28. What information helps you quote faster?
Plans or sketches with dimensions, ceiling heights, photos/videos, finish level, timeline, and any special requirements (e.g., sound/fire ratings, night work).
Q29. Do you offer emergency or after‑hours work?
Yes. Night/weekend work can be scheduled for active businesses or tight timelines.
Q30. What’s your lead time?
Small jobs can start within 3–7 business days. Larger scopes are scheduled upon approval and material lead times.
