Strong Framing That Holds Everything Else

Structural framing for decks, additions, and remodels in Colbert, Washington.

Whether you are building a deck, adding a room, or opening up a wall in your Colbert home, the framing is what holds the structure together and keeps it safe. Framing that is not square, not properly braced, or built with the wrong materials will cause problems later—floors that bounce, walls that crack, roofs that sag, and doors that do not close. Good framing is precise, properly fastened, and built to carry the load it is designed for.

McDonaldNSonsDecks provides framing services for residential and commercial projects with a focus on precision and long-term durability. Each project is built to meet local codes, pass inspection, and support the weight and use the structure will see over time. The framing is checked for square and level at every step, and materials are selected based on what will perform in this climate.

How framing supports the rest of the build

Your framing project in Colbert starts with layout and material selection. McDonaldNSonsDecks measures and cuts each piece to fit, installs studs and joists at the correct spacing, and braces the structure to prevent shifting. Fasteners are driven at the correct depth and spacing, and each section is checked for level and square before moving to the next step.

Once the framing is complete, you will have a structure that does not flex, sag, or shift under load. Floors are solid, walls are straight, and roofs are properly supported. The framing creates a stable base for insulation, siding, drywall, and finishes, and it meets the building codes required for your project.

Framing is done for decks, sheds, additions, remodels, and commercial projects. The process is precise and methodical, with attention to what actually holds up over time. This is not rough carpentry—it is structural work that must be correct from the start because everything else depends on it.

What property owners ask about framing work

Property owners often want to know what type of lumber is used, how long framing takes, and whether the framing will pass inspection. These questions come up early, and the answers depend on the type of project and what codes apply.

What types of projects require framing?
Framing is required for decks, additions, sheds, remodels, and any project that involves building or modifying walls, floors, or roofs. McDonaldNSonsDecks handles framing for both residential and commercial projects in the Colbert area.
How long does framing take?
Framing for a deck or shed typically takes one to three days, while framing for an addition or remodel may take one to two weeks, depending on size and complexity. The timeline includes layout, cutting, assembly, and bracing.
Why is framing inspection required?
Framing inspection ensures that the structure is built to code, properly braced, and safe to support the loads it will carry. The inspector checks for correct spacing, fastener placement, and structural integrity before the framing is covered with sheathing or drywall.
What type of lumber is used for framing?
Most framing uses dimensional lumber such as two-by-fours, two-by-sixes, or two-by-eights, depending on the span and load. Treated lumber is used for decks and any framing in contact with the ground. Lumber is selected based on grade, moisture content, and what the structure requires.
What happens if the framing is not square?
Framing that is not square causes problems with doors, windows, siding, and finishes. McDonaldNSonsDecks checks for square and level at every step, making adjustments as needed to ensure the structure is built correctly from the start.
