Stick-framed homes built plumb and square

Traditional wood-framed homes built plumb, square, and ready for Inland Northwest snow loads.

Stick Frame Houses in Spokane and North Idaho

Stick framing is the traditional way most homes in our region are built: dimensional lumber assembled on site into walls, floors, and roofs. It is flexible, proven, and easy to modify down the road.

Good framing is the foundation of everything that follows. Straight walls mean better drywall, cabinets that hang true, and doors that close right. We frame to local code and snow load requirements with care at every step.

What's included

  • Floor systems, walls, and roof framing
  • Engineered beams and headers
  • Sheathing and structural connections
  • Window and door rough openings
  • Framing for additions and new homes
  • Framing inspections and corrections

How we approach it

We review plans and engineering before a single board is cut, then frame with attention to layout and detail. Every structural connection is ready for inspection before the project moves on.
