What types of commercial projects does Redwood Framing specialize in?
Multi-family residential (apartments, condos, townhomes), retail, office, medical, dental, mixed-use, tenant improvement (TI), light industrial, hotels, and hospitality. We specialize in light commercial wood framing — typically 1–5 story wood-frame structures.
Can you work as a framing sub on our commercial project?
Yes — and it's a big part of what we do. We work with general contractors throughout Oregon and SW Washington as a reliable, experienced framing subcontractor. We show up, communicate, keep schedules, and pass inspections first time. Reach out to discuss your project.
Do you do commercial framing in Portland?
Yes. We serve the full Portland Metro area for commercial framing — Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, Oregon City, Sherwood, and surrounding communities. CCB #249958.
What is the difference between light commercial and heavy commercial framing?
Light commercial framing uses wood frame construction — dimensional lumber or engineered wood products — for buildings typically up to 5 stories. Heavy commercial uses structural steel. We specialize in light commercial wood frame, which covers the vast majority of Oregon's commercial building market including multi-family housing, retail, office, and mixed-use.
Do you handle multi-family apartment framing?
Yes — multi-family is one of our core specialties. We've framed apartment buildings, condominiums, and townhome developments across the Willamette Valley and Portland Metro. We understand the precision required for repetitive multi-unit layouts and the coordination required between units, corridors, and common areas.
How far in advance should I contact you for a commercial project?
The earlier the better — ideally during the design development phase so we can provide accurate budget numbers. For bidding, we need at least 2 weeks with a complete plan set to provide a detailed commercial bid. Contact us early and we'll work with your schedule.
