What type of framing services do you offer?

We offer comprehensive framing services for both residential and commercial projects.

How important is professional framing to my construction project?

Professional framing is critical to the success of any construction project. It provides the structural support for your entire building and affects everything from energy efficiency to the longevity of your structure. Quality framing prevents future problems such as sagging floors, cracked drywall, and roof issues. Investing in expert framing upfront saves significant time and money in the long run.

What materials do you use for framing?

We use high-quality lumber and engineered wood products that meet or exceed industry standards. For residential projects, we typically use dimensional lumber (2x4s, 2x6s, etc.), engineered I-joists, LVL beams, and roof trusses. For commercial projects, we may also incorporate steel framing when appropriate. We can discuss material options based on your specific project requirements and budget.

How long does the framing process typically take?

The timeline for framing varies depending on the size and complexity of your project. A small residential addition might take 1-2 weeks, while a custom home could take 4-6 weeks, and larger commercial projects may take several months. Weather conditions, material availability, and project complexity all affect the timeline. We'll provide you with a realistic schedule during our initial consultation.

Do you handle permits and inspections for framing projects?

Yes, we manage all necessary permits and inspections for your framing project. Our team is familiar with local building codes and requirements in Fremont, Custer, Pueblo, and El Paso counties. We ensure that all framing work passes inspection the first time, preventing delays in your construction timeline.

What makes framing in Colorado's mountain regions different?

Mountain construction framing requires specialized knowledge of factors like snow loads, wind exposure, seismic considerations, and challenging terrain. Our team has extensive experience with the unique demands of mountain building, including proper installation of snow barriers, additional roof support, proper ventilation systems, and ensuring structures can withstand extreme weather conditions common at higher elevations.

Can you work with my architect's or engineer's plans?

Absolutely. We routinely work with plans from architects, engineers, and designers. Our experienced framers can interpret complex blueprints and structural plans to ensure your framing is executed exactly as designed.
