Green Life Construction frames new homes of every size and style—from efficient starter homes to expansive custom estates. We install sill plates, floor systems, wall assemblies, roof trusses or stick-framed rafters, sheathing, and structural hardware according to engineered plans and Texas building codes. Our framing integrates seamlessly with our New Home Construction service for clients building from the ground up.
We use dimensional lumber, engineered products like LVL beams and I-joists, and manufactured trusses to optimize structural performance while controlling material costs. Every frame is inspected for proper nailing patterns, tie-down hardware, and bracing before mechanical trades begin.
Framing additions and renovations presents unique challenges—tying new structure into existing buildings, matching roof pitches, and maintaining load paths through transitions. Green Life Construction’s framing team has extensive experience connecting new framing to existing structures for room additions, second stories, garage conversions, and major remodels.
We coordinate with structural engineers when existing load-bearing walls must be removed or modified, installing engineered beams and proper support posts to maintain structural integrity while opening floor plans.
Green Life Construction provides commercial framing services including light-gauge steel stud wall systems, metal floor and ceiling framing, and steel-and-wood hybrid structures for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and medical facilities. Steel stud framing is preferred in commercial applications for its fire resistance, dimensional stability, and termite immunity.
Our commercial framing team works efficiently within occupied buildings for tenant improvement projects and coordinates with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades to ensure framing accommodates all building systems.
Roof framing defines the architectural character of a building and must support roofing loads, wind uplift, and in some designs, ceiling finishes and insulation. Green Life Construction installs manufactured roof trusses and builds stick-framed rafters for complex roof designs including hip, gable, shed, mansard, and combination configurations. We install ridge beams, valley rafters, collar ties, and hurricane straps per engineering requirements.
Proper roof framing is essential for the success of our Exterior Construction roofing systems and ensures your building’s top layer performs safely and efficiently for its entire lifespan.
