Understanding Residential Framing
Residential framing refers to the skeletal structure of a house, providing the shape and support necessary to build everything else. Think of it as the home's skeleton, holding together the design and distributing weight evenly to ensure stability. The framing process involves carefully assembling wooden or steel components to create a structure that can withstand time and environmental pressures.
At ALL Elite Carpentry, our team works with the highest-quality materials and techniques to create strong, reliable frameworks. Whether it’s a new home, an extension, or a renovation project, our expert carpenters bring unmatched skills and attention to detail to every task.
The Types of Framing Systems We Master
At ALL Elite Carpentry, we specialize in multiple types of residential framing to meet diverse design and structural needs.
- Platform Framing (Modern Standard)
Platform framing is the most commonly used technique in residential construction today. Each floor of the home is framed independently, creating a stable platform on which the next level is built. Our carpenters ensure that every joint is tightly secured, offering maximum durability and insulation. - Balloon Framing (Classic Design)
Although less common today, balloon framing is a traditional method often used in homes with cathedral ceilings or multi-story open spaces. Our expertise allows us to work with this intricate technique, preserving the aesthetic of older homes while modernizing their durability. - Post-and-Beam Construction
Ideal for custom homes or rustic designs, post-and-beam construction focuses on larger, exposed wooden beams. This framing style creates stunning, open interiors while maintaining exceptional strength. We work with architects and homeowners to integrate this style seamlessly into your vision. - Hybrid Framing Systems
For projects that require a combination of techniques, our team excels in hybrid systems. By blending framing styles, we ensure your home is not only structurally sound but also uniquely tailored to your needs and preferences.
