Everything You Need to Know About Hiring a Framing Contractor in Seattle WA

In the Seattle/Eastside market, framing typically runs $8–$16 per square foot for residential and $12–$22 per square foot for commercial wood framing, depending on complexity, materials, and project size. Multifamily framing (3–5 story wood frame) often falls between those ranges due to production efficiency at scale.

Factors that affect cost include shear wall density, roof pitch, floor-to-floor height, and engineered lumber (LVL, glulam). Twin Brothers Group provides free, detailed bids within 48 hours — call 425-829-5660.

Commercial framing in Seattle typically ranges from $12–$25+ per square foot depending on building type, height, structural complexity, and materials. Office buildings with metal stud interior framing, shear wall systems, and engineered lumber tend to be at the higher end. Simpler tenant improvements (TIs) may come in lower.

A typical single-family custom home (2,500–4,000 sq ft) takes 2–4 weeks to frame depending on complexity, crew size, and weather. More complex homes with steep roofs, large cantilevers, or extensive engineered lumber can take longer. Twin Brothers Group coordinates directly with your GC and site superintendent to stay on schedule.

A multifamily building (20–50 units) typically takes 4–10 weeks per floor, with total framing duration depending on building height and site access. A 5-over-1 podium building might require 3–5 months for the complete wood frame. Commercial ground-up projects vary widely based on size and complexity. We work around your critical path milestones.

A framing subcontractor is hired by a general contractor (GC) to build the structural skeleton of a building. This includes: floor systems (joists, decking, beams), wall framing (exterior/interior walls, headers, window/door openings), roof framing (rafters, trusses, ridge systems), stair framing, and shear wall installation. The framing is what every other trade (MEP, insulation, drywall) builds around — it has to be right the first time.

A general contractor (GC) manages the entire construction project — permits, scheduling, subcontractors, owner communication. A framing contractor is a specialized subcontractor hired by the GC specifically to perform structural framing. Twin Brothers Group is a framing subcontractor. We work directly under GCs and developers, not directly with property owners as a GC would.
