Framing & Carpentry Contractors by city
Framing in California sets every dimension the finish trades inherit. Out-of-square walls mean tapered baseboards and doors that never latch right. Rough carpentry is the geometry of the house.
Engineered lumber and shear walls changed residential framing. Ask whether the crew follows the structural plans for hold-downs and nailing schedules — inspectors check those, not just whether studs are vertical.
Hold-down bolts have torque and embed requirements that are easy to miss at shear walls. Ask the framer how they document hold-down installation before sheathing covers the hardware.
