Exterior Framing Contractor in Connecticut

Exterior framing, done right the first time

Framing is the part of the house you stop seeing once the siding goes on, and it decides how everything after it goes. Walls that are plumb and square make windows fit, siding run straight and drywall finish clean. Walls that are off by half an inch make every trade after us fight the house. At Elite Framing and Roofing, framing is the core of what we do, and we treat it that way on every job from Waterbury to the shoreline.

What our exterior framing covers

• Exterior wall framing: 2x4 and 2x6 walls, plates, headers and corners, laid out to your plans.
• Window and door openings: rough openings sized for the units you ordered, with proper headers and jacks, so windows and doors drop in.
• Wall sheathing: ZIP System panels, or plywood/OSB with housewrap, nailed off and taped where it calls for it.
• New elevations and bump-outs: new walls, enlarged openings and reworked elevations on existing homes.
• Additions and upper floors: full shells for home additions and second-story additions.
• Roof structure: rafters, ridges, dormers and roof sheathing. See roof framing.

Homes, multi-family and commercial

We frame for homeowners, multi-family buildings and commercial projects. On commercial fit-outs we also frame interior partitions in steel and metal studs. Whether it is a mudroom on a brick colonial in Waterbury or a third floor on a multi-family in New Haven County, the standard is the same: framed to the plans and ready for your town's framing inspection.

One crew from frame to finish

Because we also do roofing, siding and windows, the same company can take your project from bare deck to a dried-in, finished exterior. Fewer hand-offs between contractors means fewer gaps in the schedule and nobody blaming the last trade. You talk to Menachem directly, from the first site visit to the last nail.
