Is TGA Install's Framing Service Right for Your Project?
Not every framing subcontractor fits every project. TGA Install works exclusively with general contractors who need dependable, inspection-ready framing crews they can count on across one job or many. Here is who we work with.
Get Started
General Contractors Needing Scalable Framing Crews
You are managing multiple active job sites and need framing crews that can scale up or down based on your pipeline. You are tired of chasing unreliable subs who no-show or deliver inconsistent quality. You need a framing partner with the crew depth to staff your projects without gaps in your schedule.
Commercial Builders with Metal Stud and Drywall Scope
You are building out office spaces, medical facilities, or retail interiors and need experienced metal stud framers who understand commercial code requirements, fire ratings, and tight coordination with MEP trades. You need crews that frame to spec and pass inspection the first time.
Residential Builders Needing Wood Framing
You are building custom homes, production homes, or residential additions and need skilled wood framing crews who can read plans accurately, frame to code, and deliver plumb, square, and level work. You need partners who treat your job like their own.
Renovation Contractors with Structural Modifications
You are handling renovation projects that require load-bearing wall removals, structural header installations, or reinforcement work. You need framers who understand existing structures, can coordinate with structural engineers, and execute modifications safely and to spec.
Multi-Project Builders Needing Consistent Framing Partners
You are running a steady volume of projects across the Charlotte metro or statewide and need a single framing subcontractor you can rely on for consistent quality, reliable scheduling, and streamlined communication across every job.
Not Sure If We Are the Right Fit?
If your project requires specialty structural steel or heavy timber construction rather than conventional wood or metal stud framing, we may not be the best match. Reach out anyway and we will point you in the right direction or discuss whether our crews can support your scope.

Framing FAQs
What is the difference between wood framing and metal stud framing?
Wood framing is the standard for most residential construction and involves dimensional lumber for structural walls, floors, and roof systems. Metal stud framing uses light-gauge steel studs and is common in commercial interiors, fire-rated assemblies, and non-load-bearing partition walls. TGA Install provides both. We will recommend the right approach based on your project type, code requirements, and structural engineering specs. Many commercial projects use a combination of both.
How large are your framing crews and can you staff multiple job sites at once?
Our crew sizes range from 4-person teams for smaller residential or renovation projects to 10+ person crews for large-scale commercial or multi-unit builds. We maintain enough crew depth to staff multiple active job sites simultaneously across the Charlotte metro and statewide. If you have several projects in your pipeline, we can coordinate scheduling across all of them through a single point of contact.
What is a typical turnaround time for framing a residential home?
A standard single-family home (2,000-3,500 sq ft) typically takes 1-3 weeks for rough framing depending on complexity, weather, and access. Multi-story homes, custom designs with complex roof lines, or homes requiring engineered systems may take longer. For commercial metal stud framing, timelines depend on square footage and the number of interior partitions. We provide specific timeline estimates during our plan review and takeoff phase.
How do you ensure your framing passes inspection on the first attempt?
Inspection readiness is built into our process, not added at the end. Our crew leads perform continuous quality checks throughout the framing process, verifying plumb, level, square, and proper fastener patterns. Before calling for inspection, we conduct our own internal walkthrough against the approved plans and structural specs. We also coordinate with the GC's superintendent to address any concerns before the inspector arrives. Our first-time pass rate reflects this discipline.
Can you handle load-bearing wall modifications and structural support work?
Yes. We regularly perform load-bearing wall removals, header installations, beam pocket framing, and structural reinforcement work for renovation and addition projects. All structural modifications are executed per the project's structural engineer specifications. We coordinate closely with the engineer and the GC to ensure temporary shoring is in place and the work sequence follows the approved structural plan. This is not something we improvise.
Are your crews licensed and insured for commercial and residential framing?
Yes. TGA Install carries comprehensive general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We can provide certificates of insurance (COIs) tailored to your project requirements, including additional insured endorsements. All of our crews work under proper licensing and we meet the insurance thresholds required by commercial GCs, developers, and property owners across North Carolina.
How do you handle scheduling across multiple projects for the same GC?
We assign a dedicated point of contact for GCs running multiple projects with us. That person coordinates crew allocation, schedules, and communication across all of your active jobs. We build our crew scheduling around your master project timelines so you are not competing against yourself for our availability. If priorities shift or a project accelerates, we adjust crew assignments proactively and communicate changes before they affect your schedule.
What quality control measures do you have in place for framing?
Our quality control starts with accurate plan reading and material verification before a single nail is driven. During framing, crew leads check critical dimensions, stud spacing, header sizes, and fastener schedules continuously. We verify all engineered lumber and connector hardware is installed per the manufacturer and engineer specifications. Before inspection, we perform a full internal QC walkthrough. We document our work with photos at key milestones and provide that documentation to the GC on request.
Do you coordinate with MEP trades during the framing phase?
Absolutely. Proper coordination between framing and MEP trades is one of the biggest factors in keeping a project on schedule. We work with your plumbing, electrical, and HVAC subcontractors to ensure in-wall rough-in access is planned before walls are closed up. If specific blocking, backing, or opening locations are needed for fixtures or equipment, we coordinate those details during our pre-framing walkthrough with the superintendent. This prevents costly tear-outs and rework after the fact.
