Local Framing Expertise

In Portland, framing is the foundation of every successful build—from new homes to ADU additions. We handle residential framing projects with attention to code, structural integrity, and local building requirements that keep your project on schedule and within budget.

Framing in Portland, OR includes new construction, home additions, ADU builds, and custom remodels. We're here when your project is ready.

How We Work

Our process keeps you informed at every stage—from permit preparation through final inspection.

Permit & Planning

We coordinate plan reviews with Portland Bureau of Development Services. All Oregon Residential Specialty Code requirements are met before framing begins.

Layout & Demo

We establish proper layout, handle selective demolition if needed, and prepare framing surfaces to code. Bracing, sheathing, and structural support are set with precision.

Frame & Inspect

Framing is executed to plan. We schedule rough inspections with the city and verify compliance before moving to the next phase of construction.

Closeout

Final walkthrough confirms all framing is complete and ready for MEP rough-ins. Site cleanup and final punch list happen before mechanical systems move in.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

What we do in Portland and the surrounding area.

New Home Framing

New homes in Portland require careful attention to Oregon Residential Specialty Code, seismic requirements, and local zoning. We frame single-family homes and townhouses with proper bracing, sheathing, and structural support.

Whether you're building in the inner eastside, outer neighborhoods, or closer to the urban growth boundary, we handle foundation preparation, wall layout, and roof structure to ensure your new home is built to last.

ADU Framing

Detached ADU framing, under 800 sq. ft., meeting Portland setback rules.

Portland's Residential Infill Project has made ADUs a popular option for homeowners. We frame detached ADUs and attached ADU additions with knowledge of Portland's 800-sq.-ft. size limit, height restrictions, and design compatibility rules.

Our team has completed ADU framing projects across neighborhoods from Lents to the Pearl District, handling everything from concrete slabs to post-and-beam foundations.

Home Additions & Remodels

Second-story additions, bump-outs, and major remodels in Portland homes demand skilled framing to match existing structure and meet current code. We handle foundation ties, load-bearing walls, and tie-ins to older Portland homes.

Whether your home is in historic districts like Irvington or Ladd's Addition, we coordinate with city requirements and preserve character while building safely.

Custom Homes

Custom framing for unique home designs and complex layouts.

Custom homes in Portland often feature complex designs, vaulted ceilings, and specialty framing. We translate architect drawings into precise structural framing, handling engineered lumber, post-and-beam, and custom details.

Portland's green building standards are built in from the start—we coordinate framing for energy efficiency and sustainable construction practices.

Why It Matters

Proper framing is non-negotiable. It protects your investment and keeps construction on schedule.

Code Compliance & Inspections

Portland's building code is enforced strictly. Failures on inspection mean delays and costly rework.

We build to code from the first nail. Oregon Residential Specialty Code requirements, seismic bracing, weather-resistant exterior wall envelopes, and proper fastening are standard practice, not afterthoughts.

Pass your framing inspection the first time. No surprises, no stop-work orders.

Portland Weather & Materials

Portland's wet climate demands extra attention to moisture control and durable materials.

We use pressure-treated lumber where required, proper roof pitch, and exterior sheathing that sheds water. Weather-resistant barriers and ventilation are coordinated with MEP trades to prevent long-term moisture damage.

Serving Portland and Surrounding Areas

Local knowledge. Neighborhood experience.

We work throughout Portland—inner neighborhoods like the Pearl District, close-in eastside in Lents and Powelhurst-Gilbert, and established communities in Irvington, Hawthorne, and Ladd's Addition.

Each neighborhood brings different challenges: historic preservation rules in Irvington, tree preservation requirements across the city, and stormwater management for new construction. We know Portland's permits, inspectors, and local building culture.

Your framing is our focus. We stay on site, coordinate with other trades, and respect your timeline and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about framing in Portland.

How long does framing typically take in Portland?

Timeline depends on project size and weather. A new single-family home usually takes 4–8 weeks of active framing. ADUs are typically 3–6 weeks. Winter weather and permit delays can add time.

What happens if framing fails inspection?

We correct any deficiencies identified by the building inspector and reschedule the inspection. Proper framing practices prevent most inspection issues.

Do you handle framing for additions in older Portland homes?

Yes. We assess existing structure, handle tie-ins to old framing, and work with any historic preservation requirements. Older homes often need careful demolition and new bracing.

What is Oregon Residential Specialty Code?

Oregon's state building code adapted for residential construction. It covers foundation bracing, wall sheathing, fastening, and structural loads. Portland enforces it strictly on all new construction and major additions.

Can you frame my ADU with pre-approved Portland plans?

Yes. Portland offers free pre-approved ADU plans for detached units. These skip life-safety review but still require zoning, utility, and other approvals. We frame to your chosen plan.

How do you handle moisture and weathering in Portland's wet climate?

We use pressure-treated lumber below grade, install weather-resistant barriers, and coordinate with MEP trades on ventilation. Proper sloping and flashing prevent long-term water damage.
