About us
About Studline Framing
13Years of experience
Studline Framing will frame the part of the house nobody ever sees again, which is exactly why it is worth doing properly. Walls plumb, floors flat, trusses braced the way the truss drawings say, nailing patterns the inspector can count. We work from stamped drawings on anything structural, we shore before we cut, and we hand the job over square so the drywall and cabinet crews are not fighting it.
What we do
Framing & structural carpentry services in Milton
Additions, roofs, beams, decks and structural repair. Studline Framing will frame to the stamped drawings, meet the inspector, and leave it square for every trade after.
Additions & second storeys
Floor systems, walls and roofs framed to the engineer's drawings, squared and plumbed so every trade after us has an easy time of it.
Roof trusses & rafter framing
Trusses set, braced and tied down to the truss supplier's layout, or a stick roof cut on site where trusses will not fit the design.
Load-bearing wall removal
Walls opened up with a properly sized beam, temporary shoring built first, and the point loads carried right down to the footing.
Basement framing & underpinning support
Basement suites and legal egress framed to plan, including the shoring and temporary support that underpinning and bench footing need.
Decks, porches & pergolas
Footings below the frost line, proper ledger flashing and guard heights, built to the permit drawings and ready for inspection.
Garages & accessory structures
Detached garages, shops and garden suites framed and sheathed, from slab to roof deck, with the sheathing nailing pattern the inspector will check.
Sagging floors & structural repair
Bouncy floors, cracked joists, rotted sills and cut-through beams sistered, jacked and repaired instead of shimmed and hidden.
Framing inspection walkthroughs
We meet the inspector at framing stage, deal with anything flagged, and get the job signed off before insulation and drywall go on.

Questions
Frequently asked
If your question isn't here, call us — we would rather explain it than have you guess.
The honest answer is that nobody can tell you for certain from a photo. What we look for is whether the joists above run across it or parallel to it, whether there is a beam or a wall directly below it in the basement, and whether it sits under a bearing point from the roof. We check from below and above before quoting, and anything structural gets an engineer's beam size before a single stud comes out.
For additions, structural alterations, removing a load-bearing wall, and most decks over a certain height, yes to the permit — and structural work almost always needs a stamped drawing to get one. We can work from your designer's drawings or point you to an engineer we work with. Framing without a permit is the thing most likely to surface at resale and cost far more to fix retroactively.
A typical addition is framed and sheathed in one to three weeks once the foundation is ready and the trusses are on site. Truss lead times are usually the long pole in the schedule, not the framing itself, so we get the truss order in as early as the drawings allow. Weather moves dates and we tell you when it does.
Sometimes, often not. Bounce usually means joists at their span limit rather than joists failing, and it is often fixed with blocking, a strongback or a mid-span beam. Real problems look different: a visible sag, cracked or split joists, a beam notched through for plumbing, or rot at the sill where the framing meets the foundation. We look before assuming either.
Not one that will pass or last here. Footings have to sit below the frost line or the deck lifts and drops every winter until the ledger tears at the house. There are approved systems beyond poured piers, but they all reach proper depth or bearing. Anyone offering to set posts on blocks on the ground is building you a problem.
