FRAMING & INSTALLATION SERVICES
Framing is one of the most important parts of the building process, if not the most critical to get right. As the support system of your structure, your frame ensures your project is protected against the elements and you have a safe environment to live or work in at all times. This makes the task of finding a properly vetted framing crew for your project a top priority for clients, as you want to be sure your investment is free of any defects that can lead to expensive issues down the line.

OUR SIDING OPTIONS AND INSTALLATION SERVICES
Much like insulation, siding is another important aspect of the building process that requires superior attention to detail and quality. At DC Builders, we offer premium siding options and installation services to ensure our clients’ structures are protected in extreme weather conditions and boast great aesthetic value. Our clients can choose from a wide selection of siding options, including cedar board and batten or tongue and groove siding, HardiePanel vertical siding and HardiePlank lap siding, and pre-finished siding. During the installation process, our experienced building crews complete a series of measures designed to make our structures air-tight and water-resistant. This includes applying a weather-resistant barrier to the exterior wall system and installing wall, window, and door flashing for added protection. With our pre-finished siding products, we also stain and paint all six sides of the siding to ensure it’s properly sealed, water-resistant, and resists corrosion.

HOW OUR PREFABRICATION PROCESS BENEFITS OUR CLIENTS:
To make the framing process as fast and streamlined as possible, our heavy timbers are pre-cut, drilled, and labelled to precision prior to arriving at your job site through a process called prefabrication. Prefabrication allows our framing crews to assemble your structure with ease, as all the building components required to properly execute your frame are prepared ahead of time by our skilled craftsmen and come with detailed instructions for easy installation. In fact, our prefabrication process is so efficient that our construction projects often take 30% to 50% fewer framing hours than conventional builds. This means clients can enjoy fewer days with carpenters on site, reduced equipment rental fees due to shorter rental periods, and less traffic, noise, and dust on their job site. It also means clients can expect more accurate construction, tighter joints, and better overall quality, as the controlled environment of prefabrication ensures each piece of framing lumber is designed to fit perfectly with the next.

Client Testimonial
“I think the most remarkable part of it was the four builders arrived the day they said they would, and the barn went up in eight days. From the time they put the first timber on the slab that we had poured until it was enclosed was eight days. People in the neighborhood were astonished, as were we.”
– Therese Smith
