Construction · Framing
The bones of every build.
Walls, floors, roofs, beams, stairs, decks. The framing is what everything else hangs from — we don't cut corners on it.
Framing is invisible after drywall, which is exactly why people cut corners on it. We don't. A square floor, plumb walls, and properly sized headers and beams make every later trade easier and every finish straighter.
What we handle
Wood frame construction
Stick framing, engineered I-joists, glulam beams, LVL headers. Built to current code, designed against the actual loads.
Steel beams and structural openings
Removing load-bearing walls for open-plan layouts. Includes engineering drawings and permits.
Roof framing
Conventional rafters, trusses, complex hip-and-valley work for additions tying into existing roofs.
Decks, porches, pergolas
Outdoor structures built to last the GTA's freeze-thaw cycles — pressure-treated, cedar, ipe.
Stairs
Straight, L-shape, U-shape, switchback. Built to code with proper rise/run and headroom; finished by our millworker if you want them showpiece.
Notes from the GTA
- Older Toronto homes routinely have undersized joists or hidden notches that fail current span tables — we sister or replace as needed.
- Engineered lumber (LVL, PSL, glulam) has become standard for headers and beams in any opening over 6 feet; we use it where it makes sense.
- Deck framing benefits enormously from proper flashing and joist tape — cheap to add, doubles the life of the deck.
Get the framing right and every later trade has an easier job.
