Framing

Sheds, garages and additions: stick framing, structural work and house raising.

You get a frame that is plumb and square, so everything after it fits.

Scope
Sheds, garages, outbuildings, basements, additions, structural changes and house raising.
What is different
We can stick frame a roof on site, cutting every rafter ourselves.
