Framing That the Rest of the Build Depends On
Walls that are plumb, floors that don't bounce, and a structure squared up so every trade after you has an easy job.
Overview
Framing is where our name comes from. It's the skeleton of the whole project, and it's the work most likely to cause problems later if it's rushed. We frame walls, floor systems and roofs to plan, to code, and to the tolerances the finish trades need.
We work directly with homeowners on additions and with builders and GCs who need a reliable framing crew that shows up, reads plans correctly, and leaves a structure ready for the next phase.
What this solves
- A remodel or addition that needs load-bearing changes done correctly
- Floors that bounce or walls that aren't square in an older home
- A GC who needs a framing crew that actually reads the plans
- A project stalled because the framing was done wrong the first time
Materials & methods
- Dimensional lumber and engineered products (LVL, LSL, I-joists) sized to the span
- Correct fastening schedules and hardware — hangers, straps and hold-downs
- Hurricane/wind-load connectors appropriate for Florida code
- Sheathing and structural details per the approved plans
Questions
Framing FAQs
Serving Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and the rest of the Tampa Bay area.
Do you work as a framing subcontractor for builders?
Yes. A large share of our framing work is for general contractors and builders who need a dependable crew. We're comfortable working from your plans and schedule.
Can you handle load-bearing changes in a remodel?
Load-bearing changes require the correct engineering and approvals. When a beam or connection is specified, we build the carpentry work to the approved plan.
Do you frame to hurricane code?
Florida's wind-load requirements drive a lot of framing details — connectors, strapping and fastening schedules. We frame to the approved plans and local code for the area you're in.
