"100% satisfied! Kyle's crew put a new tile floor down in my lanai and I could not be happier. The work was superb, his crew did a wonderful job and left the site sparkling clean. And Kyle was so easy to communicate with. He responded right away anytime I had a question. And the price was very fair. I will absolutely use Sternersen Construction for any future projects!"

"John and his crew were extremely professional and communicated very well. The decks and fencing quality were excellent. Pricing was very fair and allowed us to have some things within our budget that we would've had to go without with most other companies. We fully recommend Coastal Built Construction."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
