What Gets Built During the Framing Phase

Your project in Fairmont begins with layout of exterior walls, followed by installation of floor joists or trusses if needed. Wall framing is assembled using dimensional lumber, sheathing is applied, and roof framing is completed to match your building design and roofline.

After framing is complete, you will notice square corners, level floors, and walls that are ready for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-in. The structure is rigid, weather-resistant once sheathing and roofing are in place, and ready for inspection before interior work begins.

Stick framing services are offered in Fairmont, Bridgeport, Clarksburg, Morgantown, and Shinnston. The company is familiar with local inspection processes and code updates, which helps keep your project on schedule and reduces the chance of failed inspections or required corrections.

A Few Things Worth Asking Before Framing Begins

Homeowners and builders scheduling framing services often want to know how long the framing phase takes, what happens if material delivery is delayed, and whether changes can be made after walls go up. The questions below address the most common concerns before you book an estimate.

What does stick framing include for a residential home?
This service includes wall framing, floor or ceiling joist installation, roof framing, and sheathing application. It covers the structural frame from foundation to roofline, but does not include roofing, siding, or interior finishes.
How long does the framing phase typically take?
Most residential framing projects take two to four weeks depending on building size, complexity, and weather conditions. You receive a projected timeline during the estimate based on your specific project in Fairmont.
What happens if lumber delivery is delayed or materials arrive damaged?
If materials are delayed, you are notified as soon as the issue is identified, and the schedule is adjusted accordingly. Damaged or incorrect materials are rejected on delivery and replaced before framing begins.
Why does it matter that you work closely with the concrete phase?
Coordinating framing with concrete work ensures that anchor bolts, sill plates, and dimensions are correct before walls go up. It reduces the risk of layout errors that can delay framing or require costly corrections later.
Can I make changes to the floor plan after framing is complete?
Non-structural changes such as door or window relocations may be possible, but load-bearing wall modifications require engineering approval and can affect your timeline and budget. It is easier and less expensive to finalize the floor plan before framing begins.
