Remodels & Additions
Structural framing for room additions, second-story additions, garage conversions, and major remodels — tied cleanly into existing structure.
Framing a remodel or addition is more demanding than new construction. You're working around an occupied or existing home, tying new structure into old, and often dealing with conditions you didn't expect until the walls come open. Experience matters more here than anywhere.
Artisan Framing handles the structural framing phase on remodels and additions across our service area. We've seen what 20+ years of houses in northeast Oklahoma look like when you open them up — and we know how to work with what you find.
Types of Remodel & Addition Framing We Do
- Room additions — master suite, bedroom, living space, sunroom
- Second-story additions over existing single-story homes
- Garage conversions to living space (ADU framing)
- Attached garage additions
- Kitchen and great room wall removals and beam installation
- Dormer additions for attic conversions
- Deck-to-enclosed-room conversions
- Structural repairs — sistering joists, replacing damaged framing members
Tying New to Old
The hardest part of addition framing isn't the new walls — it's the connection between new and existing. Matching floor heights, bearing correctly on existing structure, flashing the roof connection correctly. We take these junctions seriously because that's where callbacks happen if they're done wrong. We won't leave a connection point without verifying it will shed water, bear load, and stay square over time.
Working Around Your Home
Remodel and addition work means working around your life. We keep the job site tight, communicate about the schedule clearly, and close up exterior openings at the end of every work day. If your project requires your home to be occupied during construction, we'll plan the work sequence to minimize disruption.
Structural Repairs
If you've discovered damaged framing — from rot, termites, or prior improper work — we handle structural repairs and reinforcement. Sister joists, replace compromised studs or plates, and reinforce headers. We'll assess the extent of the damage honestly and give you a repair scope that's complete, not just cosmetic.
