What different types of framing do you offer?

We offer a variety of framing options for decks, porches, and other outdoor structures to best match your needs, budget, and design preferences:

  • Pressure-Treated Wood Framing: This is the most common and cost-effective option, offering reliable strength and resistance to moisture and insects. It’s great for most residential decks and porches.
  • Engineered Lumber: Laminated beams or LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) are used for enhanced stability, long spans, and dimensional consistency, making them ideal for larger or more complex designs.
  • Steel Framing: Provides maximum strength, longevity, and resistance to rot, warping, and pests. Steel is especially beneficial for low-maintenance, modern decks or applications requiring extra support—like rooftop decks.
  • Aluminum Framing: Lightweight, rust-proof, and extremely durable, aluminum framing is perfect for contemporary projects where long-term durability and minimal upkeep are priorities.
  • Fiberglass framing is a specialized and innovative option for outdoor structures. It offers excellent durability, complete resistance to rot, insects, and corrosion, and is extremely low-maintenance. Fiberglass is also lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for certain environments or challenging site conditions.

Each type of framing comes with unique advantages depending on your site, structural requirements, and budget.
