What Is a Framing Contractor?

Buildings are constructed around internal frames.

Buildings are constructed around the internal framing: The exterior and interior walls alike are built on top of the internal frame work. Framing contractors are specialists who build this internal core.

Uses

In addition to building entire internal frames, framing contractors can be hired for smaller jobs. These include adding a wall in an existing building, as well as doors and windows.

Liability

When hiring a contractor, make sure they won't become a legal and financial liability. Do this by asking them for copies of their liability and worker's compensation insurance plans.

Bidding

When hiring contractors, it is a good idea to make sure you're getting a good rate for the work they will be doing. Ask for bids from several contractors for the same job so you know what the going rate is in your area at the time of construction.
