What clients expect and what drives business growth in this category
Framing carpentry constructs the structural skeleton of buildings and additions using dimensional lumber (2x4, 2x6 wall studs on 16-inch or 24-inch OC spacing), engineered lumber (LVL beams, PSL headers, I-joists for floor systems), and engineered wood panels (OSB sheathing). Framers lay out walls from printed blueprints, snap chalk lines on the slab, build wall sections flat on the deck, and tilt them up; interior load-bearing walls require double top plates and correctly sized headers over all openings. All framing must comply with IRC prescriptive requirements or engineered drawings.
Clients need framing that is plumb, level, and square — framing errors in the rough stage compound through all subsequent finish trades and are expensive to correct after drywall.

Common questions from clients booking Framing Carpentry services
16-inch on-center is the standard for most residential walls; 24-inch OC is allowed by code for non-load-bearing partitions and some exterior walls with engineered panels; 12-inch OC is used in high wind and seismic zones.
Header size depends on the span, the load above (roof, floor, or partition), and the lumber species and grade; IRC provides prescriptive span tables for common conditions; any opening over 6 feet typically requires an engineered header (LVL or PSL) sized by calculation.
Load-bearing walls carry structural loads from above (floor joists, roof rafters) down to the foundation — removing them without proper beam installation causes structural failure; non-load-bearing (partition) walls only support themselves; a structural engineer can definitively identify which walls carry load.
Two stacked top plates (each 1.5-inch thick) are required on load-bearing walls; the second plate laps over wall intersections and corners, tying the wall sections together and creating a continuous load path from above-framing loads down through the wall studs.
Platform framing (modern standard) builds each story independently on the platform of the floor below — each floor deck is complete before the walls above are built; balloon framing (pre-1940) runs wall studs continuously from sill to roof with floor joists hung from ribbon boards — creates fire pathways and is rarely used today.
