Here’s what general contractors and construction managers say about working with us.
FAQs
We're a licensed framing team with decades of field experience—focused solely on structural framing. It's what we know, it's what we do, and it's what we deliver better than most because we're hands-on, every step of the way.
Our core model is subcontracting under General Contractors. We understand the structure: the GC manages the project, we come in, frame it right, and move on. That separation keeps things clean, timely, and professional. It’s how we’ve built long-term relationships across the industry.
We also selectively work directly with property owners on framing-intensive projects—ADUs, decks, stairs, timber patio structures, and light remodels. In areas where we can offer more value than handymen or patchwork crews, we step in as the full-service lead—handling permits, scheduling, and coordination.
These direct-to-client jobs are chosen carefully. We’re not looking to operate as a full-time GC. We prefer the rhythm and focus of framing. But when the right project comes along—where we can provide clarity, skill, and execution—we’re equipped to lead.
For example, in multifamily HOA repairs (like decks and stair systems), our team has taken the lead to coordinate and deliver full compliance-level work—bringing in outside trades where needed, and doing it better than larger firms might.
And as a matter of professional principle, when we’re working under a GC and approached directly by a homeowner, we refer them back to that GC. It’s how we protect professional trust and do business the right way.
When working with General Contractors:
When hired as a subcontractor under a licensed GC, they typically manage permits, inspections, and approvals. In cases where special inspection is required for structural elements in framing, we can coordinate with a licensed special inspector. Fees for these services are typically submitted via change order for approval.
When working directly with clients:
We understand how confusing and frustrating it can be dealing with city red tape, inspectors, and unclear permit processes. Our team is experienced in navigating local codes and city permitting, and we can take care of that burden on your behalf to ensure everything is safe, legal, and ready for inspection.
We carry a $25,000 contractor’s bond on file with the CSLB through American Contractors Indemnity Company.
Our workers’ compensation insurance is active through Benchmark Insurance Company, covering trades including framing and concrete work under appropriate classification codes.
Certificates of insurance and licensing documentation are available upon request.
