Framing

At MJG Contracting Corp., framing is the backbone of every successful build. As licensed Long Island contractors, our residential framing and rough carpentry services ensure structural integrity and exact-fit finish—all built with grit and longevity. Serving Nassau, Suffolk, and the Tri‑State area.

🛠 Why Quality Framing Matters

  • Framing acts as a building’s skeleton, carrying loads from roofs, floors, and walls—so structural design and precise execution are critical.

  • Proper stud layout, header sizing, and joint fastening—according to New York State and ICC codes—form the basis for durability and safety.

  • Framing executed with precision reduces drywall callbacks, improves insulation performance, and ensures cabinetry and trim installations fasten cleanly.

🧱 Our Framing Services Include

  • Full structural framing: exterior walls, interior partitions, floor and ceiling systems, and roof structures

  • Header & load-bearing elements: properly sized lintels for windows, doors, and openings per engineered specifications

  • Wall stud layout: typically 16″ on-center but tailored to insulation, drywall, or finish needs

  • Floor & roof framing: joists, rafters, blocking, and sheathing supporting finishes and loads

  • Structural integrity upgrades: pressure-treated or engineered beams where required

  • Coordination for drywall and millwork: pre-layout framing for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, trim, shelving, cabinets

Quality framing supports everything—wiring, insulation, drywall seams, cabinetry, and finishes—so MJG focuses on accuracy from floor plates to top plates.
