Ensure Safer, Stronger Buildings with Our Framing Expertise
Commercial builds require flawless, durable walls that anchor the rest of your project. Over 60 years of specialized steel framing experience in St. Louis means you get exactly that.
Our crew manages your entire scope, installing heavy load-bearing structural studs for multi-story towers and light-gauge framing for rapid retail fit-outs.
Because our highly trained union teams understand complex structural layouts, we prevent costly mistakes and secure your inspection approvals without delays.
This level of technical field precision provides maximum load capacity and built-in fire protection for your facility.
We match decades of field knowledge with top-tier safety ratings to accelerate your construction timeline, keep your subsequent trades on schedule, and protect your bottom line.
Why Choose Niehaus Building Services for Your Drywall Systems?
Advanced Structural Stability
We use heavy and light gauge steel framing that delivers one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios in the construction industry. These precise structural components allow for spans far greater than lumber, directly reducing overall foundation loads and requirements.
Flawless Level 5 Finishing
Our drywall finishing precision is rooted in our century-old legacy as a master plastering company. Today, our highly skilled union craftsmen build on that traditional attention to detail, delivering everything from heavy commercial hanging and taping to premium, flawless Level 5 finishes prepped for high-end architectural coatings.
Strict Code & Safety Compliance
Backed by a stellar 0.80 EMR safety rating and active AWCI affiliation, our union teams ensure all fire-rated and acoustic assemblies strictly meet national safety standards in high-consequence environments.
Zero Warping or Material Waste
Unlike traditional wood framing, our field-tested steel studs don’t warp, twist, bow, or split over time. They’re roll-formed into uniform, precise shapes that resist moisture damage and won’t promote the growth of destructive mold or mildew.
Multi-Venue Commercial Experience
Backed by over 124 years of St. Louis market experience and five generations of family trade leadership, our team brings unmatched stability to complex jobsites. Managing a workforce of typically more than 100 union field employees, we easily scale from minor maintenance scopes to multimillion-dollar commercial packages up to $20,000,000.
Sustainable, LEED-Contributing Builds
Our framing systems offer an environmentally responsible alternative to timber that minimizes on-site disposal costs and material waste. Built with 100% recyclable steel, our process provides high indoor air quality and serves as a significant contributor to your project's LEED certification goals.
