"Robert and his crew were the best at everything, from the initial estimate, to the scheduling, to the high-quality work, all done in a very short time, even in freezing weather! I would hire them again for any framing. They are some of the hardest-working guys that I have seen in a while, showing up every day at 7am, getting started right away, and not stopping until they were done. Very good experience!"

Carpentry framing installations FAQs

Your general contractor should be able to refer you to a local framing contractor. An established relationship can lead to lower rates and better work. Interview contractors, trust your instincts, and choose a professional who's right for the job. Ensure you have a clear contract detailing the framing project.

Framing a house typically takes 5 to 8 weeks. Factors affecting this timeline include weather conditions, material shipment delays, crew size, and construction material weight. These elements impact the framing process, excluding external processes like permits or foundation work.

Framing costs are determined by multiplying your total square footage by a cost range of $7 to $16 per square foot. This calculation gives you a precise figure for the framing expenses. For projects that employ high‐end materials or custom designs, add an additional 5% to your total budget to account for premium work. This method provides a clear, accurate estimate for the overall framing project.

The framing cost covers labor and materials required to install wood, steel, or prefabricated frames that form your home’s structural skeleton. It includes building openings for windows, doors, and entryways. However, expenses for drywall installation, insulation, electrical systems, and finishing details are not included in these costs and must be estimated separately.

House framing is expensive because it requires high-quality materials and specialized labor to construct a durable and safe structural framework. The precision demanded during installation and the use of premium components drive up the costs significantly. Additionally, complex designs that necessitate extra detailing and reinforcement further increase the overall expense of framing.
