Frequently asked questions
Do you charge for an estimate?
Estimates are free — our lead framer reviews your plans or looks at the site and gives you the exact price before any work begins.
How much does framing cost?
It depends entirely on the size and the plans, so the framer reviews everything and gives you an exact price up front — and the estimate is free.
Can you remove a wall / is it load-bearing?
We can definitely help with that — whether it's load-bearing changes what's involved, so the framer will assess it, and if it is, we'll install the right beam to carry the load safely. He'll give you the exact price first.
Do you frame additions and new rooms?
Yes, additions and new rooms are a big part of what we do — the framer will review your plans and give you an exact price and timeline.
Do you build or reframe decks?
Yes — we frame new decks and reframe or repair existing ones. The framer will look at it, check it's solid, and give you the exact price up front.
Can you fix rotted or damaged framing?
Absolutely — we repair framing damaged by water, termites, or age. The framer needs to see how far it goes to price it right, and that assessment is free.
Do you do steel stud framing?
Yes, we do steel-stud framing as well as wood — common in commercial and some residential work. Just let us know the project and we'll take care of it.
Do you install trusses?
Yes, we set and brace roof and floor trusses to the layout — the framer will coordinate the delivery and installation and give you the price.
Do you install beams and headers?
We do — beams and headers are core framing work, and they need to be sized correctly, so the framer will spec the right one and give you the exact price.
Do you pull permits / work with inspectors?
Framing usually needs a permit and an inspection, and we build to code and coordinate with the inspector — the framer will walk you through how permits work for your project.
Do you work under general contractors / builders?
Yes — we work with homeowners directly and also as the framing crew for builders and general contractors. Just let us know how your project is set up.
How long will the framing take?
It depends on the size and complexity — the framer will give you a clear timeline once he's reviewed the plans or seen the site.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
We stand behind our work — the framer will go over exactly what's covered for your project.
Do you service my area?
We cover your area — I'll grab your address and get our framer out to review the project.
⚠️ Safety first
- A wall, floor, ceiling, or roof is visibly sagging or feels unsafe to be under: Please keep people out from under that area for now and don't add any weight to it. If it's sagging or shifting, treat it as urgent — I'll get our framer out to assess it and shore it up safely as a priority.
- Part of a structure is actively cracking, dropping, or a temporary support looks like it's failing: For everyone's safety, please clear that area right now and don't try to prop it yourself — it can shift suddenly. We'll get a framer to you as a priority to make it safe.
- Deck feels bouncy, wobbly, or is pulling away from the house: Please keep people off that deck until it's checked — a deck pulling away can fail without much warning. We'll get someone out to look at the framing and make it safe.
Know the terms
- Load-bearing wall
- A wall that carries weight from above; removing or opening it requires a properly sized beam and support.
- Header
- The beam over a door or window opening that carries the load above it.
- Joist
- The horizontal framing members that support a floor or ceiling.
- Truss
- A pre-engineered triangulated roof or floor frame that's set and braced to a layout.
- Sheathing
- The plywood or OSB skin on walls and roof that adds strength and a nailing base.
- On-center
- The standard spacing between studs or joists, usually 16 or 24 inches, so materials land right.
