Framing in Greater Boston
Framing is the skeleton of a project — the walls, floors, and roof structure that carry every load. Get the framing right and everything downstream goes smoothly; get it wrong and the problems follow the finishes up.
VB Construction handles rough and structural framing across Greater Boston: framing for additions and remodels, new walls, floor systems, headers and beams, and load-bearing changes. We frame to code, size structural members correctly, and build straight, plumb, and square so the drywall, cabinets, and trim that follow have a true surface to land on.
Structural changes — removing a bearing wall, adding a header for a wider opening, sistering or replacing damaged joists — are everyday work for our crew. In older Boston homes with balloon framing and decades of modifications, we read the existing structure carefully before we cut, so the load always has a path.
Framing is the structural half of our Greater Boston carpentry services, carrying the loads everything else depends on.

Frequently asked questions
Can you frame the structural change for opening up a room?
Yes. Removing a bearing wall or widening an opening is structural framing work: we size and install the proper beam, posts, and supports, secure engineering and permits where required, and build temporary shoring before the wall comes out so the load is always carried safely.
