Structural House Wood Framing Services | Stamford, CT

YRS Home Improvement offers structural house wood framing that involves using wood as the primary material to create the structural framework of a house. It involves assembling a system of wooden members, such as studs, beams, headers, and joists, to form the skeleton or frame of the structure.  Our framing systems provide support and stability to the entire house, transferring loads from the roof, walls, and floors to the foundation.

Here are the key components and steps involved in our structural house wood framing:

• Studs: Vertical wooden members that form the primary framing elements of the walls. They are typically spaced at regular intervals, such as 16 or 24 inches apart, and provide vertical support.
• Plates: Horizontal wooden members placed at the top and bottom of the wall framing. The top plate forms the connection point for roof rafters, while the bottom plate sits on the foundation or floor system.
• Headers: Horizontal wooden members placed above windows, doors, or other openings in the walls to provide structural support for the load above.
• Beams: Horizontal or sloping wooden members that carry the weight of the structure, such as supporting the floor joists or roof rafters.
• Floor Joists: Horizontal wooden members that span the distance between beams or walls, supporting the flooring materials and transferring loads to the foundation or supporting structure.
• Roof Rafters: Sloping wooden members that support the roof structure, transferring the load to the walls or beams.
• Sheathing: Panels of plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) that are attached to the framing to provide rigidity, support, and a base for exterior cladding.

Our process of structural wood framing involves measuring and cutting the wooden members to the required dimensions, assembling them according to the construction plans, and securing them with nails or screws. This framing system services form the skeleton of the house, upon which other building components, such as insulation, electrical wiring, plumbing, and interior finishes, are installed.  It offers strength, flexibility, and ease of construction while adhering to local building codes and regulations.
