Framing Contractor in Utah County, Utah
Solid framing is the backbone of every structure we build. Our dedicated in-house framing crew handles new construction, additions, and structural modifications throughout Utah County — Payson, Spanish Fork, Santaquin, Salem, and surrounding areas.
What Is Framing?
Framing is the structural skeleton of a building. It includes the floor joists, wall studs, ceiling joists, rafters or trusses, and sheathing that define every room, hallway, and roofline. Proper framing ensures the structure can safely carry all loads, including the weight of the building itself, occupants, furniture, snow loads, and wind forces, while meeting all applicable building codes.
At DL Design and Construction, framing is not outsourced. We maintain an in-house framing crew that works directly under our supervision on every project. This gives us full control over quality, scheduling, and code compliance. Whether you are building a new home in Utah County, adding a room to an existing structure, or framing a garage or shop, our crew has the experience and precision to get the structural work right the first time. We frame to meet Utah's seismic requirements and the snow load demands of the Utah County climate.

Our Framing Process
Blueprint Review
We review architectural and structural plans to identify load paths, bearing walls, header sizes, and any engineering requirements before cutting the first board.
Material Procurement
We source lumber and engineered wood products, coordinating deliveries to your site in Utah County. We select the right grade and species for each application.
Rough Framing
Our crew builds floor systems, walls, and roof structures. We install sheathing, window and door openings, and ensure everything is plumb, level, and square before moving forward.
Inspection and Handoff
We coordinate the framing inspection with local building officials. Once approved, the structure is ready for mechanical rough-ins, insulation, and the next phase of construction.
How Much Does Framing Cost in Utah County?

Key factors that affect framing cost include:
