Service Categories In Detail
01
Foundations
We provide carpentry interfaces for concrete foundations, including sill plate installation, anchor bolt layout, mudsills, and moisture barriers. We collaborate closely with concrete contractors and structural engineers to ensure accurate transfers of loads and sealed interfaces that prevent moisture intrusion.
02
New Construction
Our new construction framing services include framing entire residential homes, additions, multi-unit projects (scale permitting), roof systems, porch and deck framing, and site cleanup. We manage material staging, truss delivery, and on-time erection to align with your project timeline.
03
Remodeling
Remodel projects often involve retrofitting existing structures. We specialize in careful demolition of framed elements, reinforcing openings for windows and doors, sistering joists, rerouting structural loads, and setting up temporary supports and shoring when necessary.
04
Framing
Our framing services cover an expansive list:
- Stud framing for walls and partitions (interior/exterior)
- Floor framing and subfloor preparation
- Roof framing including ridge beams, rafters, and engineered roof trusses

- Truss installation and bracing
- Blocking, bracing, and shear wall assemblies
05
Retaining Walls
Retaining wall projects often require carpentry coordination for caps, formwork, ledger connections, and temporary shoring. We assist with framing interfaces for precast, concrete, masonry, and timber retaining wall systems in both residential and light commercial contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can you handle projects that require both wood and steel framing?
Yes. We manage mixed-material projects and coordinate the interface between wood framing and steel studs or engineered steel where design calls for it.
Do you offer warranties on your framing work?
We stand behind our workmanship and address any framing-related issues that fall under our scope. Specific warranty language is included in our contracts for clarity.
How do you price labor and material for a framing job?
Pricing reflects a materials takeoff, labor hours, site conditions, and complexity of engineered elements. We provide transparent line-item estimates.
Are you available for staged builds or phased framing?
Yes. We work on phased schedules and coordinate with general contractors to meet milestone dates for inspections and follow-on trades.
