01 · The Service
Renovation framing that sets up every finish trade for success.
A renovation is a sequence of trades, and the framer sets the tone for all of them. When the framing is done right — walls plumb, floors flat, openings sized correctly — every trade that follows can do their best work. When it isn’t, the problems compound. The tiler works around an out-of-plumb wall. The millwork installer shims and scribes to hide a floor that isn’t level. The painter caulks gaps that shouldn’t exist. By the time the renovation is finished, the framing error has multiplied across every trade and every surface.
We approach renovation framing with the same discipline we bring to new construction. The existing conditions are surveyed before any new framing begins. Floor heights are checked. Walls are plumb-tested. Existing structure is assessed for the loads the new layout will impose on it. We understand what we are inheriting before we start changing it.
Our renovation framing scope covers full-home interior reconfigurations, kitchen and bathroom layout changes, basement finishing, main floor open-concept conversions, and second-floor layout modifications. We work from your architectural drawings and interior design package, and we coordinate with your structural engineer wherever the renovation touches load-bearing conditions.
When we finish a renovation framing scope, the site is clean, the frame is true, and your finish trades can start their work without correcting ours.

02 · Scope of Work
What's included.
Drawing Review
Existing condition survey before any new framing begins — floor heights, wall plumb, and existing structural members measured and documented.
Foundation Framing
Demolition coordination and temporary shoring where load-bearing walls or structural elements are being removed or modified.
Floor Systems
New partition wall framing built plumb and square — layout confirmed against the architectural drawings before any walls go up.
Wall Framing
Load-bearing wall removal and replacement with engineered beam installations — sized and positioned per your structural engineer’s drawings.
Roof Structure
Floor framing repairs and levelling where existing floor systems are uneven, damaged, or need to be modified for the new layout.
Structural Steel Integration
Rough openings for new doors, windows, and pass-throughs framed and headered correctly — sized to the schedule so finish trades don’t need field modifications.
Sheathing
Bulkhead, soffit, and ceiling framing built to the interior design package — level, dimensionally accurate, and ready for drywall and finish.
Inspection Hand-off
Framing inspections coordinated at each phase with your general contractor and municipal inspector. We stay on site until sign-off is complete.
Site Clean-up
All lumber drops and site waste removed before we leave. Clean site handed off ready for mechanical rough-in and drywall.
03 · How It Works
Our process.
01
Existing Condition Survey & Drawing Review
We review your architectural and interior design drawings and assess the existing conditions before we quote. Floor heights, existing structural members, and load-bearing conditions are all identified and factored into our scope before we commit to a number.
02
Estimate & Phasing Plan
You receive a clear scope and price. We also provide a phasing plan that sequences our work around your mechanical, electrical, and finish trades — so the renovation moves forward without one trade waiting on another.
03
Precise Renovation Framing
We frame the renovation from the existing conditions out — shoring first where required, new structure next, then partitions, bulkheads, and interior elements. Every phase is executed to the drawings and to the standard the finish trades depend on.
04
Inspection & Hand-off
We coordinate framing inspections at each phase with your general contractor and inspector. When every element is signed off and the site is clean, the renovation frame is handed off ready for mechanical rough-in, drywall, and the finish trades that follow.
