DC CUSTOM FRAMING

STRUCTURAL WOOD FRAMING & ROUGH CARPENTRY

SACRAMENTO & NORCAL'S RELIABLE

STRUCTURAL FRAMING CONTRACTORS

From precision custom home framing and complex roof truss systems to heavy timber post-and-beam and seismic retrofits, DC Custom Framing delivers engineered structural carpentry you can count on. We answer the phone, show up when promised, and leave your build ready for trade rough-ins.

TIRED OF CONTRACTORS GHOSTING YOU?

We know the frustration of residential & commercial construction in Northern California. You need critical structural framing completed on schedule, but subcontractors won’t return your calls, bounce between job sites, or leave framing half-finished with inspection punch-list failures.

At DC Custom Framing, we pride ourselves on transparent communication, laser-guided transit layout, and executing the job exactly as engineered. When you hire us, the crew actually shows up and stays on your site until the roof sheathing is nailed and city inspection passes.
