FRAMING

The quality of materials and construction expertise are the reasons why Kickerillo frames stand up to Houston’s humid climate. A solid frame built from top grade materials will not bow, warp, shrink, or vibrate. When the frame is square, plumb, and level, the floors are flatter and quieter, the ceilings are smoother and the walls have a firmer feel. We start with #2 grades of purple studs or Temple studs. These pine studs are stronger and straighter than fir studs, they have fewer knots and they can carry heavier vertical loads; plus, each stud is hand selected and sealed with a distinctive fuscia-colored paint that provides extra weather resistance.
