Expert Framing Services in Kittery, MA
Kittery, Maine's oldest incorporated town and gateway from New Hampshire, features a remarkable range of architecture from pre-Revolutionary War homes near Kittery Point to mid-century naval housing and contemporary construction along the Route 1 bypass. Framing in Kittery's antique homes requires understanding of construction methods dating back to the 1600s, including massive hand-hewn timber frames with pegged joinery that modern carpenters rarely encounter. The town's proximity to the Piscataqua River and the open Atlantic at Kittery Point exposes structures to severe wind and moisture conditions. RS Development Group has the specialized framing expertise that Kittery's diverse and historic housing stock demands, working with everything from colonial-era timber frames to modern engineered lumber systems.
For framing work in Kittery, MA, the local context matters: Maine and Vermont winters, town-specific permit timelines, and a Building Department that expects detail. Our crew has filed enough applications in towns around Marlborough to know which inspectors look at what — and we plan our scopes accordingly so jobs don't stall mid-project.
Every framing we deliver in Kittery starts with one of our project managers walking the property — not a salesperson with a tablet. We measure twice, photograph existing conditions, flag anything that affects scope (rot, code violations, drainage), and price the job once. If something shifts mid-project, you hear about it before we move material.
