Our Philosophy

Bones built to the millimeter.

We frame the structural skeleton of custom architectural visions with the absolute precision of finish carpentry.

The Skeleton

Flawless geometric integrity.

Every custom build presents unique engineering challenges. We don't just read blueprints; we anticipate tolerances and resolve structural conflicts before the first timber is cut. Our crew ensures that complex architectural lines are executed exactly as drawn.

By maintaining a clean-site protocol, we eliminate site hazards, accelerate municipal inspections, and hand over a flawless structural canvas to the drywallers and finish trades.

Clean-Site Protocol

We treat structural framing with the precision of interior trim, ensuring every wall is perfectly plumb and every opening is square.

Specializing in complex timber assemblies, engineered wood, and heavy glulam beams that demand absolute mathematical accuracy.

A swept, organized jobsite is non-negotiable. We reduce liability, prevent accidents, and clear structural inspections on the first pass.

The Crew

Mastery on Site

Our framing carpenters are specialists, trained to read complex architectural blueprints and execute them with absolute structural integrity.

Disciplined Execution

We do not use sub-contractors for our framing. Every Defranco crew is led by an experienced master timber framer who oversees the alignment, hardware connections, and safety protocols of the entire build.

Their organization and attention to structural tolerances make them the only framing crew we trust with our custom residential designs.
