Framing is priced by square footage and wall height, how complex the roof is, the beams and engineered members the plans call for, and lumber prices when the order is placed. Every job gets an itemized written estimate. We buy materials at contractor pricing through our supplier accounts, so your estimate comes in competitive.
Not always. The City of Dallas lists nonstructural interior remodeling of a house that adds no floor area and changes no exterior doors or windows as work needing no building permit. A wall that carries load, or framing for an addition, is structural and needs one. In other cities, check with your city's building department.
Everything after framing sits on it. When walls are plumb and corners are square, drywall lies flat, trim joints close, cabinets hang level and doors swing and latch. Framing that is out shows up later as gaps, cracks and doors that stick, and it costs more to fix once the finishes are on.
Sheathing is the layer of structural panels nailed over the wall and roof framing. Bracing keeps walls from racking sideways under wind and load. Together they stiffen the frame and give siding and roofing a solid base. The plans or the engineer's details set what goes where, and inspections check it.
Yes, with care. Additions and second stories meet framing that may have settled or been built to a different standard, so we check it for level, rot and size first. The new work ties to the old as the plans specify. We coordinate the structural engineer and the permit when the city requires one.
What we see in Dallas
Framing sets everything that comes after it. Walls that are plumb and square make drywall, trim, cabinets and doors go in right. We frame additions, second stories, new builds and interior changes, from plans or with the engineer's details, and get it ready for the framing inspection.
We coordinate the structural engineer and the permit when the city requires one.

| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Square footage and wall height | More wall area and taller walls take more lumber and labor. |
| Roof complexity | Hips, valleys and changes in pitch add cuts and members. |
| Beams and engineered members | Headers and beams sized by the engineer cost more than standard lumber. |
| Lumber prices at order time | Lumber prices move, so the order date affects the cost. |
