Framing
Framing built by Greg
Everything that comes after framing depends on it. If the walls are out of plumb or the floor isn't flat, the drywall shows it, the cabinets fight it and the doors never close quite right. Families building on their own land, homeowners adding a room, and owner-builders running their own project all need the same thing from a framer: a structure that matches the plans, goes up on schedule and gets dried in before the next round of rain. Good framing is the part of a house you stop noticing, because nothing fights it.
Greg Myers is a Rainier builder with 33 years of experience, and framing and carpentry are among his core services. His projects include the framing of a large custom home, new ramblers and two-stories in Thurston County neighborhoods, gabled timber-truss entries, and barn homes with heavy beams wrapped in black steel straps. He frames floors, walls and roofs, sets trusses, sheathes the shear walls, installs windows and exterior doors, and keeps the building moving toward dry-in, whether he is building the whole house or framing a shell for you.

Floor systems
Sill plates, beams, joists and subfloor, glued and fastened so the floor stays flat and quiet.

Roof framing
Trusses set and braced, or stick-framed rafters for vaulted ceilings, dormers and more complicated rooflines.
- 04

Heavy beams, posts and trusses for great rooms, entries, porches and barn homes, like the timber-truss entries and steel-strapped beams in Greg's own projects.

Additions, garages and ADUs
Framing that ties a new addition cleanly into the existing house, plus detached garages, shops and guest houses.
- 06

Questions
Framing FAQs
How do you protect framing from the rain?
By drying the building in quickly and keeping lumber off the ground and covered until it is used. Some wetting during framing is normal in Western Washington, and what matters is that the wood dries out before walls are closed up. Greg checks moisture before insulation and drywall go in, so a problem never gets sealed inside a wall.
How much does framing cost?
Framing cost depends on square footage, the number of floors, roof complexity, ceiling heights, beam and timber work, and the current price of lumber. A simple plan with trusses frames much faster than a vaulted timber design. Greg prices from your plans, and the estimate is free.
Do you frame for owner-builders?
Yes. If you are acting as your own general contractor, Greg can frame the shell from your plans and hand it back dried in and ready for the next stage. He can also take the whole job from foundation to finish if you would rather have one builder.
Can you frame an addition onto my house?
Yes. Additions are one of Greg's specialties. Framing an addition means tying the new floor, walls and roofline into the old house so it looks like it was always there, and keeping the existing home closed up until the new space is weathertight.
Do you do exposed timber framing and beams?
Yes. Greg's barn homes and lodge-style homes feature heavy timber beams, trusses and steel strap details. Exposed timbers are framed with the finished look in mind, since those beams stay visible for the life of the house.
