Do you pull permits for framing work?
Yes — all structural framing work in Minnesota requires building permits. Garrett Construction pulls all required permits, schedules inspections, and ensures every project is fully code-compliant before proceeding to the next phase.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall?
Yes. Load-bearing wall removal requires proper engineering — correctly sized beams, posts, and footings to transfer the structural load. We assess every wall before removal and work with structural engineers when required to ensure your home's integrity is maintained.
How long does framing take?
A single room addition typically takes 3–7 days to frame. Basement framing projects usually run 2–5 days. Full new home framing takes 1–3 weeks depending on size and complexity. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
