Framing in Newport

Solid framing forms the backbone of every addition, remodel, or new build. Your walls, roof, and floor systems must resist wind, moisture, and the demands of daily life without compromise. Newport homeowners require framing that accounts for coastal humidity, salt air, and seismic considerations unique to Oregon's coast.

McKnight Construction LLC delivers over 13 years of licensed, insured, and bonded experience in residential and light commercial framing. Each project uses accurate measurements, high-quality lumber, and code-compliant methods to ensure long-term durability and safety. Newport's coastal location subjects structures to average annual humidity levels above 75 percent, making moisture-resistant materials and proper ventilation critical for preventing rot and mold.

Whether you're expanding your living space, converting a garage, or building a new home, you need a team that understands coastal construction challenges. From layout to final inspection, every beam, joist, and stud receives careful placement to support loads and meet or exceed local building standards.

Newport sits along the Pacific, where salt air, wind-driven rain, and temperature fluctuations test every structural component. Your framing must use treated lumber, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and precise engineering to withstand these conditions. Standard inland methods fall short in coastal zones, where moisture penetration and metal corrosion accelerate without proper protection.

Advanced tools and techniques include laser-level layout, engineered lumber for long spans, and hurricane-tie connectors that reinforce roof-to-wall connections. Each framing plan accounts for local wind loads, seismic activity, and the International Residential Code's coastal provisions. Newport's proximity to the Cascadia Subduction Zone requires shear-wall reinforcement and anchor-bolt spacing that exceed typical inland standards. You gain peace of mind knowing your structure can handle both everyday use and extreme weather events.
