The best framing contractor near you is licensed (MA HIC), insured, specializes in structural framing rather than treating it as a side service, pulls permits, and can show local work. In Massachusetts, RS Development Group (MA HIC #216507) has specialized in structural framing since 2008 and serves 100+ cities from its Marlborough base — call (774) 512-3176.
What should a framing contractor be able to do?
- Frame new construction, additions, and second stories to precise tolerances.
- Size and install engineered LVL/PSL beams for spans and load-bearing changes.
- Re-square, sister, and reinforce settled framing in older homes.
- Pull permits and build to the Massachusetts State Building Code (780 CMR).
What questions should I ask?
- Are you licensed (MA HIC) and insured? (Ask for the numbers.)
- Is framing your specialty, or a side service?
- Can I see photos and references from recent local projects?
- Will you provide a written, itemized estimate and handle permits?
Why does structural specialization matter?
Framing is the skeleton of the home — get it wrong and every finish suffers. A contractor who lives and breathes structure reads load paths, sizes headers correctly, and ties new work in cleanly. That’s the difference we bring to every MetroWest and Greater Boston project. Call (774) 512-3176.
