Layout accuracy is the whole job

Every trade after us pays for our mistakes. Plumb walls, square corners, correct rough openings and crowned joists mean the drywall, cabinet and tile crews are not shimming their way through your house. We snap and verify layout before anything goes up, and we read the plans instead of guessing.

Builders keep us because our schedule is real. When we commit to a start date, our crew is on your slab that morning.

Who we frame for

Custom home builders and GCs who need a reliable framing subcontract with clear per-square-foot or bid pricing. Homeowners building an addition, garage, shop or ADU who need a framer who can also read a truss package and coordinate the crane day. Remodel contractors who need structural work — beams, headers, wall removal — done by someone who understands load paths.

Montana structural realities

Snow load, wind and seismic detail all matter here, and inspectors check them. We build to the engineered plans, install hardware where the drawings call for it instead of where it is convenient, and leave the hold-downs and straps visible for inspection.

Our work

Framing and structural work we've done

Framing is the part nobody sees once it's covered, which is exactly why we photograph it as we go and send you the photos. These are our own jobs — production homes we framed for a builder alongside remodel and structural work.

A long run of roof trusses set and braced on a new home with mountains behind — Roof trusses set, braced and ready to sheathe

A large framed opening with a built-up header and floor joists on a new build — Built-up header over a wide opening, sized off the plans

Tall interior framing with a raked wall following the roof pitch, ladder alongside — Raked wall following the roof pitch, framed from the inside

Roof trusses standing on a framed house in a new subdivision under an overcast sky — Trusses up on a production home, the next house already framed behind it

Several homes being framed at once across a subdivision site — Several homes going up at once

Covered patio framing on a new home, ridge beam and rafters cut and set, house wrapped behind — Covered patio structure cut and set on site — production builder work

New interior stud walls being framed in a gut remodel, carpenter working with a level standing by — New interior walls going up in a gut remodel, plumbed and braced

Gable end framing of a covered porch with the roof sheathing partially on — Porch gable framed and ready for sheathing

Interior framing in progress with stud walls, insulation and a ladder in a stripped house — Layout snapped and walls framed, ready for mechanical rough-in

Framed interior of a gut remodel with exposed joists overhead and new stud walls — Ceiling joists exposed, new walls in — the stage where accuracy pays off

Finished craftsman-style home with stone wainscot and a two-car garage — A production home we framed, after the builder finished it out

Completed two-tone craftsman home with dark board-and-batten gables and a covered entry — Another finished shell from the same build — framed by us, finished by the builder

A new framed and finished closet with bifold doors — Smaller scale: a new stud wall and closet, framed, drywalled and trimmed out

Questions

Common questions

Do you work as a subcontractor for builders?

Yes — that is a large share of our work. We bid per square foot or lump sum, carry $1M general liability, hold MT contractor registration #287126, and give you a start date we hold.

Can you frame from my plans or a truss package?

Yes. Send the plan set and truss layout and we will return a written framing bid with any questions or conflicts we spotted flagged up front.

Do you handle the crane and truss delivery?

We coordinate the truss delivery and crane day with the supplier and keep the crew staged so the crane is not sitting idle on your dime.

Will you do small structural jobs?

Yes. Removing a load-bearing wall, adding a header for a wider opening, or sistering failed joists in a crawlspace are all common jobs for us.

How do you price framing?

For builders, usually a per-square-foot labor number plus specified extras. For homeowners, a lump sum with materials and labor itemized so you can see exactly where the money goes.
