Framing Contractor in California

Framing contractors and construction experts specializing in erecting the frames of residential and commercial buildings are an integral part of building construction. If you’re in need of a framing contractor in California, MC&Y Construction is the area’s leading framing contractor. So what does a framing contractor do? A California framing contractor such as MC&Y Construction begins work after the foundation contractor has finished installing a building’s foundation. The framing contractor then proceeds to install the sill plate which creates a base that enables the framing contractor to begin constructing the floor system, walls, and roof structure, in that order. Framing contractors in Boston, Massachusetts and elsewhere can also install subflooring, exterior house boxing and roof deck sheathing. A licensed, professional framing contractor in CA such as MC&Y Construction is skilled at reading blueprints and understands architectural theories and systems that enable the builder to construct a high-quality, stable, and safe building. Residential framing contractors typically work on single-family, duplex, and multi-family homes restricted to four or fewer units. Regardless of whether you’re building a house, apartment building, factory, warehouse, office building, or even a cabin, the framing has to be completed before any rooms are constructed. A framing contractor may work independently or be part of a team of general contractors. If the framing contractor is with a general contractor, he will most likely still have a separate function from the contractor’s other employees.

Residential Wood Framing. The Best Option for Your Home

Residential wood framing has plenty of advantages when compared to more traditional steel construction. Chief among them are:

Affordability & Durability- Wood is cheaper than both steel and concrete by a wide margin. And, when looked at in terms of the entire project requirements, residential wood framing will most certainly result in a lower overall project cost, given that a wooden beam will cost far less than a steel beam of the same dimensions. More importantly, if treated correctly, wood is just as durable as steel, if not more. The fact that most of the ancient man-made structures that have survived to present day are made of wood stands as testament to its capability & durability.

Energy Efficiency- Pound for pound, wood is a natural insulator in another league when compared to either steel or concrete. While homes made from these ‘modern’ materials need significant planning to keep its occupants comfortable, residential wood framed structures on the other hand, benefit from the material’s high insulation properties. This means that internal heating and cooling systems need to work less, resulting in lower energy bills every month.

Easier Repairability- Damage to the internal structure of a home happens for a variety of reasons, both during the construction process, and post-handover as well. For buildings made from steel and concrete, this can mean a costly repair process as both materials cannot be repaired easily without specialized tools and equipment. Wooden frames on the other hand are easy to repair with minimal damage to the surrounding structure.
