Avoid These 3 Common Rough Framing Mistakes Homeowners Regret

Framers who underbid often cut corners, use lower-grade materials, or under-deliver. This leads to structural problems and delays when the project hits inspection or finish work.
Solution: Look for value, not just price. A slightly higher quote from a qualified contractor is usually more complete and less risky.

Starting framing before your plans are finalized or double-checked leads to errors—like doors in the wrong place, or rooms too small.
Solution: Finalize all drawings and approvals before work begins. Let your framing contractor review plans for potential red flags.

Skimping on permits or working with someone who doesn’t know the code can bring your project to a halt—and cost thousands in rework.
Solution: Always work with licensed contractors familiar with local codes. They’ll build it right the first time and coordinate with inspectors to keep you moving forward.
