House Framing

House framing involves constructing the structural skeleton of a residential building using wood, steel, or other materials to create the framework that supports walls, floors, and roofs. Framers read blueprints, measure and cut materials, and assemble components such as floor joists, wall studs, and roof trusses using fasteners and hand tools. This foundational work is essential for establishing the building's structural integrity and ensuring that subsequent trades like electrical, plumbing, and drywall installation can proceed safely.
