Want to add on to your home, but aren’t sure how to go about it? Consider hiring a framing contractor to help you with your job. Framing contractors understand the structural “bones” or skeleton of your family.

Be sure you find a contractor who has a good reputation. He or she will ensure your structure is strong and solid. Flimsy framing is dangerous, especially for people living in earthquake territory. Your framing contractor will also make sure your load-bearing wall or beam is not a fire hazard.
