Residential Framing
The skeleton everything depends on — framed square, plumb, and built to take whatever you put on top of it.

The Structure
"Framing errors show up for the life of the building. Get it right the first time."
Walls that aren't plumb, floors that aren't level, and roofs that aren't square — these problems don't disappear when drywall goes up. They compound. They show up in doors that won't hang right, finish work that gaps, and structural movement that worsens over time.
Gerhard & Sons frames residential structures with the precision that every trade that follows depends on. Whether it's a complete new home, a room addition, a detached garage, or a structural repair — we frame it right before anything else touches it.
What's Included
Complete structural framing for new residential construction — floor systems, exterior walls, interior partitions, and roof framing. Sized and spaced to plan, engineered lumber where specified.
Tying new framing into existing structure cleanly — matching floor heights, integrating load paths, and getting the connection right between old and new so the addition performs like it was always there.
Detached garages, barns, pole buildings, and storage structures. Framed to handle Michigan snow loads and wind, with proper headers over every opening and wall bracing where it matters.
Sistering damaged joists, replacing compromised headers, correcting undersized beams, and reinforcing existing structure that needs help. Diagnosed and fixed — not patched over.
