Commercial framing services provide the essential structural support needed for any commercial building, making them a critical aspect of construction projects. As a trusted contractor, Charles Construction frames office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities, ensuring high-quality, durable structures.
We utilize both wood and steel framing techniques, selecting materials based on project needs. Wood framing offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness, while steel framing provides superior strength and fire resistance. Committed to excellence, we ensure every structure is built to last, laying the groundwork for successful, long-lasting commercial spaces.
When it comes to commercial framing, both wood and steel offer distinct advantages. Wood framing is renowned for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It’s easier to work with, allowing for quicker construction times, and is often less expensive than steel. It’s also a renewable resource, which can be an attractive option for environmentally-conscious projects.
On the other hand, steel framing excels in strength and durability. It is non-combustible, providing superior fire resistance, and it is less susceptible to pests like termites. Steel also performs better in extreme weather conditions, offering enhanced stability and longevity. While steel framing can be more costly upfront, its durability and low maintenance requirements can lead to savings over time.
Advancements in commercial framing have led to stronger, more efficient building solutions. Modern techniques, such as light-gauge steel framing, prefabricated wall systems, and advanced fastening methods, enhance structural integrity while reducing construction time. These innovations improve energy efficiency, allow for greater design flexibility, and ensure compliance with evolving building codes, making them ideal for commercial remodeling and new construction projects.

Building a whole new facility isn’t the best option for everyone, and sometimes, updating or expanding your current location is the best choice for you. That’s why we offer comprehensive commercial remodeling and repair services designed to keep your building in optimal condition.
From routine inspections to address minor issues before they escalate to handling major repairs and upgrades, we ensure that your building remains safe, functional, and up to date. Whether it’s a renovation project or an expansion, trust Charles Construction to provide efficient and effective solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Commercial framing is essential for structural integrity in remodeling projects, ensuring buildings remain safe, functional, and up to code. Whether using metal or wood framing, this process supports walls, ceilings, and mechanical systems while allowing for layout modifications and structural reinforcements.
Metal framing, typically cold-formed steel, offers durability and fire resistance, while wood framing provides cost-effective flexibility. Both methods are used to enhance office buildings, retail spaces, medical facilities, and industrial properties. With expert craftsmanship and quality materials, professional framing ensures seamless integration of new and existing structures, optimizing functionality and aesthetics.
