Frame-raising help in North Florida

Frame-raising help in North Florida: what to know

The main frames are the hardest part of a kit for an owner to put up alone. Columns and rafters have to be lifted, bolted at the haunch and ridge, plumbed and braced in sequence, which takes lifting equipment and people who have done it before. Hiring a crew for just that stage gets the skeleton standing safely. Once the frames are braced, you can hang the girts and purlins, run the panels and set the trim at your own pace. Ask whether the crew's price includes the lift rental or whether you supply the machine.
