Structural Framing

Structural framing the skeleton of the house.

Structural framing is about assembling the superstructure of a house in either wood, engineered wood, or structural steel. Eastview Homes has lots of experience with light frame construction which we do right after securing your home's foundation. Structural framing is just as important as preparing a good foundation. Well framed structures have seamless drywall, level floors and stairs that don't creak. Well framed walls directly affect your kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and windows. Depending on the size and complexity of your home, structural framing can take anywhere from a couple weeks to a month to complete.

Eastview Homes frames custom homes, home additions, and covered porches. We're skilled at making changes to unbecoming roofs and dormers. We have lots of practice removing load bearing walls by adding structural beams and columns; such space reclamation is often a big part of modern remodeling projects.

Eastview Homes frames houses from the floor to the roof, and from the outside of the dwelling into the center of the home. First we lay down the sub floor and then we raise the exterior walls, which are typically 2 x 6 wood studs. Then we turn out attention toward the interior partition walls where we use smaller dimension studs depending on the mechanical or plumbing needs of the room. After we complete the interior walls and stairs we crane the roof trusses into place above. If we're building a second-floor addition, then the second-floor sub floor will be installed, and the process will be repeated. The final hours of structural framing are spent sheeting the roof with plywood, preparing it for the roofers.

This note is just a small thank you in comparison to the job you did for us in our newly renovated home. We are so pleased with the quality of your work and that it was done in the scheduled time frame. With a young family an the both of us working we knew that any type of renovation was going to be challenging in our home.

M. Scott

From the very beginning of our renovation experience with Eastview Homes, the communication was great! It was very reassuring to know that Keith was there to answer any of our questions. Keith worked hard with us to find the best cost effective solutions, and made sure we were promptly updated with any changes.

Erica

I have worked with Keith over the past several years on numerous homes and additions, but never on my own home. As an architect, attention to detail is paramount. We contracted Eastview Homes to build a rear addition and kitchen to replicate the existing Arts and Crafts era character of the original house. The work was executed remarkably well in a timely fashion.

Rerouting laundry into the basement to expand the mudroom in the garage entry. Keith's team is stellar, everyone was very friendly and professional. They made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. The quality of the job was top notch and we are very satisfied with the job.

Cindy

We wanted to open up our main floor to create an open concept feel in the kitchen/living room. Keith suggested we put a flush mount beam in the ceiling to open the space up and also to have a seamless transition between the two rooms. I couldn't be happier with the finished product and we are excited to be moving back into our new home!

Randy

The communication of schedules and on going work made it easy for our family to continue to live in our home during construction without any disruptions. From quotation to design to final product, Eastview Homes should be your only choice. We plan on working with them again in the near future on another project.

Graham

Our plan was to redo the kitchen and both of the bathrooms in the house. Keith suggested we remove the load bearing wall between the living room and the kitchen to give the war time house an open concept feel. Glad we did, Keith and his crew showed up when they said they would and were very thorough with their work at every stage of the process.

Rebecca

We hired Keith and Eastview Homes to renovate our entire main floor. When Keith came over he had such amazing ideas. We were so impressed by the entire team's professionalism. They cleaned up each night which was a wonderful surprise. We couldn't be more happy with the results and it's as if we are living in a brand new house!
