Framing is the backbone of any construction project, providing the structural support necessary for walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs. Whether you’re building a new home, adding an extension, or undergoing a major renovation, high-quality framing ensures strength, stability, and longevity.
At Tickemyer Construction, we focus on precision, durability, and expert craftsmanship in every framing project. Our team ensures that all framing work is done to exact specifications, following building codes and industry best practices to create a solid foundation for your construction project.
Framing involves a detailed process of assembling the structural framework of a building or addition. Key components include:
The framework for walls, ceilings, and partitions is built using high-quality wood or metal studs, depending on the project’s structural and fire-rating requirements.
Properly installed floor joists and subfloor systems provide strength and stability, ensuring a level surface for flooring materials.
Roof framing includes trusses and rafters that provide essential support for the entire roofing system. Proper installation ensures durability against weather conditions.
Walls and beams that support the weight of the structure must be framed with precision to maintain structural integrity and safety.
Sheathing panels are installed on walls, floors, and roofs to provide additional strength and insulation, while bracing ensures wind and seismic resistance.
At Tickemyer Construction, our framing process ensures that every project is built to last, with a focus on structural strength, precision, and efficiency.
Step 1
We assess the project’s structural needs, design specifications, and material requirements to ensure the best approach for framing.
Step 2
Our team creates a detailed framing plan, ensuring all measurements, materials, and load-bearing elements align with engineering and code requirements.
Step 3
Our skilled framers assemble the walls, floors, and roof structures, ensuring all components are securely installed and properly aligned.
Step 4
We conduct a structural inspection to verify that framing meets safety and building code standards before moving to the next construction phase.
Step 5
We provide guidance on subsequent construction steps and ensure a smooth transition to drywall, roofing, or other finishing work.
Wood framing is commonly used for residential projects, while metal framing is often preferred for commercial buildings due to its fire resistance and durability. The best choice depends on the project’s needs.
Framing timelines vary based on project size, but most framing work is completed within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on complexity.
Yes, framing is a critical structural element and requires permits and inspections to ensure compliance with local building codes. Tickemyer Construction manages this process to ensure everything is up to standard.
