Custom Home Framing Services & Process

At Franke Construction, we offer a wide range of custom home framing services in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. No matter the size or complexity of your project, we have the expertise, knowledge, and resources to handle it. Below are the key components of our custom home framing process:

1. Wood Framing

Wood framing is the most common and affordable method for custom home construction. It provides strength, flexibility, and energy efficiency. We use high-quality lumber and materials to build solid frames that support the structure of your home. Our wood framing services are designed to deliver lasting durability while keeping your project on budget.

2. Structural Framing

Structural framing services involve constructing the essential load-bearing elements of your home. This includes walls, beams, and columns that support the structure and distribute weight properly and support heavier structures, such as multiple floors or large open spaces. This is especially important for homes with complex or multi-level designs. We work closely with engineers and architects to review and implement the framing plan, verifying that it meets the necessary structural requirements for safety and stability.

3. Floor and Ceiling Framing

Properly framed floors and ceilings are essential for the stability and longevity of your custom home. Our carpenters install floor and ceiling framing, including joists and supports, to prevent sagging, warping, or structural weaknesses over time, providing a solid foundation for your home’s integrity.

4. Shear Walls and Reinforcements

In areas prone to seismic activity and strong winds, such as Southern California, shear walls and reinforcements are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of custom homes. We add these essential elements into your home’s framing to help it withstand both seismic and wind forces, improving long-term durability and resilience.

5. Roof Framing

The roof is a crucial element of any custom home. At Franke Construction, we specialize in roof framing for custom homes, offering a variety of options—from pitched and flat roofs to truss installations or any custom design based on your preferences. Our roof framing services ensure a structurally sound roof that will endure for many years in the SoCal area.

6. Framing for Architectural Features

Custom homes often include unique design elements such as vaulted ceilings, large window openings, and open floor plans. Our custom home framing expertise ensures that these architectural features are properly crafted and supported while maintaining both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

7. Framing for Home Additions

If you’re looking to add a room or expand your living space, our team provides expert framing services for home additions. Whether you’re building a new second floor, expanding your living room, or adding a garage, we can ensure that your addition is seamlessly integrated with the existing structure.
