What we frame

Framing is where a remodel is won or lost. Get the structure right and everything after it goes together properly.

We frame in dimensional lumber and in steel stud, covering new walls and partitions, floor and ceiling systems, structural openings and full commercial build-outs.

That includes load-bearing work. On a 1908 gambrel house we opened the balloon-framed walls around a small kitchen and carried the load on a steel I-beam to make three rooms into one, which is the kind of job that needs the framing and the finish handled by the same people.

Question? Answered

Licensing, who does the work, and how to get a price. Browse the answers below.

Yes. Merrill Construction holds Maryland Home Improvement Commission licence MHIC #164814 and carries insurance for both commercial and residential work. The licence number is on our truck, our estimates and the bottom of this page, so you can verify it before you hire us.

No. All work is performed in house with local talent. On the custom tile bathroom in our portfolio, every part of that remodel was self-performed, from tearing it down to bare studs and floor joists through to the finished tile. Keeping the trades under one roof is how the schedule and the standard stay under our control.

Kitchens, bathrooms, decks, roofing, siding, windows and doors, interior remodeling, framing and commercial work. That covers everything from a roof repair or a deck rebuild through to a full structural remodel where walls come out and steel goes in.

Yes, both. We work on homes and on commercial buildings, including storefront and athletic facility work. Whichever it is, the same crew and the same standard apply.

Yes, structural work is part of what we do. On a 1908 gambrel house we opened the balloon-framed walls around a cramped kitchen and carried the load on a steel I-beam, turning three rooms into one. If you want a wall gone, we will tell you honestly what it is holding up and what it takes to remove it.
