That's one of our specialties. We've framed vaulted ceilings, curved walls, custom trusses, multi-level open floor plans, and other complex structural elements. If your architect can design it, we can frame it. We work closely with architects and engineers to ensure every detail is executed with precision.

Timelines vary based on project scope. A typical single-family home framing takes 1-3 weeks. Room additions or ADUs usually take 3-7 days. Commercial projects can range from 2-8 weeks depending on size and complexity. We'll provide a detailed timeline with your estimate and keep you informed throughout the process.

While permits are typically pulled by the general contractor or homeowner, we work closely with building departments throughout the San Fernando Valley and are very familiar with local codes and requirements. We coordinate directly with inspectors, and our work consistently passes inspection on the first visit. We're happy to guide you through the permitting process.

We use premium-grade lumber, engineered wood products (LVLs, I-joists, glulam beams), and commercial-grade metal studs depending on the project requirements. All materials meet or exceed California building code standards. We source from trusted local and national suppliers to ensure consistent quality and availability.
