Description
Professional Carpentry & Structural Framing Services
Framing is the structural backbone of any renovation or new construction project. At MEINHAUS, our carpentry division handles everything from interior partition framing to complex structural reconfigurations requiring engineered beam installations and municipal inspections.
We specialize in:
Load-bearing wall removal and structural beam installation (LVL, PSL, steel)
Flush beam conversions and dropped beam systems
Floor joist modification and sistering
Header resizing for enlarged openings
Stairwell reframing and structural stair alterations
Basement framing including bulkheads and mechanical chases
Roof and rafter reframing
Garage and home addition framing
Legal secondary suite structural preparation
Structural Assessment & Engineering Coordination
When structural elements are altered, we coordinate directly with structural engineers to obtain stamped drawings where required. Beam sizing, point load calculations, and footing requirements are reviewed prior to installation. Where posts transfer loads to foundation walls or new pad footings, we ensure proper bearing surfaces and reinforcement details are followed exactly as specified.
We manage:
Structural engineering review and stamped drawings
Building permit submissions (when required)
Framing inspections
Structural inspection sign-offs prior to insulation or drywall
All framing is completed in accordance with Ontario Building Code requirements, including fire separation, egress framing clearances, and proper load transfer paths.

Framing Practices & Technical Standards
Our crews follow professional framing best practices, including:
Precision Layout & Plate Installation
Laser-level layout for wall lines and structural points
Pressure-treated sill plates where required
Proper anchoring into concrete using code-approved fasteners
Crown orientation consistency in studs and joists
Stud & Structural Assembly
16" or 24" on-center framing as specified by design
Double top plates with proper lapping at intersections
Engineered lumber installation per manufacturer nailing schedules
Approved joist hangers and structural hardware (Simpson Strong-Tie or equivalent)
Correct fastening schedules for shear walls and structural assemblies
Beam & Load Transfer Installation
Temporary shoring walls prior to load-bearing removal
Gradual load transfer procedures
Proper bearing lengths per engineered specifications
Steel post or LVL post installation with base and cap connectors
Blocking and bridging to maintain floor diaphragm integrity
Moisture & Thermal Considerations
Proper rough opening allowances for windows and doors
Fire blocking between floors and concealed cavities
Framing adjustments to accommodate insulation depth and vapor barriers
Coordination for sound attenuation assemblies in duplex or rental units
---
Multi-Trade Coordination
Framing sets the stage for mechanical systems. We coordinate rough-in scheduling with:
Plumbing (drain stacks, venting, shower valves)
Electrical (panel upgrades, pot light layouts, receptacle spacing)
HVAC (bulkheads, duct routing, cold air returns)
Fire separation requirements in basement suites
Inspections are scheduled in sequence to prevent costly rework. Framing is not closed until all required structural and rough-in approvals are completed.
---
Renovation-Specific Expertise
Renovation framing differs significantly from new construction. Existing structures may involve:
Undersized or over-spanned joists
Irregular stud spacing
Settled framing
Hidden structural modifications from previous renovations
Our team evaluates existing conditions before integration, ensuring new framing ties properly into old construction without compromising structural integrity.

Built for Long-Term Performance
Whether supporting a second-story addition, opening a kitchen to open-concept living, or preparing a basement for legal occupancy, our framing work is designed to support:
Long-term structural stability
Future resale and appraisal requirements
Inspection compliance
Clean drywall and finishing transitions
Framing is not just about wood — it’s about load paths, precision, and coordination. MEINHAUS ensures every structural modification is planned, executed, inspected, and documented correctly.
