What a Framing Contractor Does

Construction framing is the wood or steel skeleton of a building. It is the floor system, the wall studs and the roof structure that everything else hangs on. This is the framing people search for when they are building, not the kind that holds a photo. We frame new builds, additions, garages, and interior walls when a layout changes.

Framing has to be square, plumb and level, because every piece of work after it rides on the frame. If a wall is out of plumb, the drywall, trim and cabinets all fight that error later. We build to the plans, brace the structure, and fasten it to stand up to North Texas storm winds. Some jobs, like a new structure or a change to a load-bearing wall, may need an engineer's drawings and a city permit. We flag that early, and you can confirm the rules with the City of Irving or your local building department.

  • Wall, floor and roof framing
  • New builds, additions and garages
  • Interior walls and layout changes
  • Wood or metal stud framing
  • Openings framed for doors and windows

Why the Frame Has to Be Right

The frame sets the shape of everything. Floors sit level because the floor frame is level. Walls take drywall and cabinets cleanly because the studs are plumb and evenly spaced. A frame that is off by a little at the bottom is off by a lot by the time you reach the ceiling, and fixing it later means tearing out finished work. Getting the framing right the first time is what keeps the rest of the job on track.

Why Choose S&L

Why Builders Pick S&L for Framing

  • Square, Plumb and to Plan

    We frame to the drawings and check the work as we go, so walls are plumb and floors are level. That keeps the drywall, trim and cabinets that follow from fighting a crooked frame.

  • We Flag Structural Needs

    A new structure or a load-bearing change may need an engineer's drawings and a permit. We tell you up front rather than framing first and finding out later, so the build stays on the right side of the rules.

  • Wood or Steel, Your Call

    We frame with dimensional lumber or metal studs, depending on the job and the plans. Tell us what you are building and we will frame it the way the project calls for.

What Framing Costs

Framing is priced by the size and complexity of what we are building. A single interior wall is a small job next to framing a whole addition or a new structure. We look at the plans or the site and give you a free quote before the crew starts.

What Affects the Cost

  • The size of the structure being framed
  • Wood lumber or metal stud framing

What does a framing contractor do?

A framing contractor builds the structural skeleton of a building: the floor system, the wall studs and the roof structure. This is construction framing for homes and buildings, not picture framing. It is the stage that comes before drywall, trim and finishes.

Do I need a permit or an engineer for framing?

A new structure or a change to a load-bearing wall often needs an engineer's drawings and a city permit. Non-structural interior walls usually need less. We flag what your job needs, and you can confirm with the City of Irving or your local building department.

Do you frame with wood or metal studs?

Both. We frame with dimensional lumber or metal studs, depending on the job and the plans. We will talk through which fits your build when we quote it.

Can you frame an addition, garage or interior walls?

Yes. We frame additions, garages, new structures and interior walls. If you are changing a layout, we can frame the new walls and reframe the openings for doors and windows.

Can you remove or move a load-bearing wall?

Yes, with the right support in place. Taking out a load-bearing wall means carrying the load another way, usually with a beam. That may call for an engineer's drawings and a permit, which we will flag before any wall comes out.
