Arm & Hammer Framers delivers precision wood framing for production homes, custom estates, and commercial builds — from sill plates to ridge lines. Serving the Phoenix metro and all of Arizona under ROC License #324879.
We handle complete wood framing scopes — wall systems, floor platforms, roof structure, and exterior sheathing — working from stamped structural drawings with the discipline that keeps inspections clean and downstream trades on schedule.
Full-scope residential framing for custom homes, production phases, additions, and ADUs — complex rooflines, tall walls, curved features, and engineered lumber systems framed to the engineer's drawings. From West Valley tract runs to 28,000 sq ft desert customs, we frame the homes other crews turn down.

Light commercial wood framing for retail, office, mixed-use, and tenant improvement projects. We work from IBC-compliant stamped drawings, coordinate with concrete, steel, and MEP trades, and hold the tighter tolerances commercial GCs require on schedule-driven builds.
Explore Commercial Framing →Arm & Hammer Framers is an Arizona structural framing contractor, licensed and bonded under ROC #324879, serving production builders, custom home builders, commercial general contractors, and homeowners across the Phoenix metro and the state.
A wall that is 3/4" out of plumb, a header undersized for its span, a shear wall nailed to the wrong schedule — these are deficiencies that disappear behind drywall and compound through every trade that follows. We work from stamped structural drawings, verify foundation conditions before the first plate goes down, and execute nailing schedules and hardware installations exactly as the engineer specified.
Arizona is where we have framed at volume: a 68-home run for a single Phoenix-metro production builder, custom estates past 28,000 square feet, and light commercial shells and tenant improvements. The West Valley runs on speed — walls stood, sheathed, and ready for inspection within days of slab clearance — while Maricopa County inspectors enforce nailing schedules and hold-down hardware closely. Fast and clean is the whole job, and it is what we deliver from Surprise to Tucson to the high country.

Our own iron, our own crews. When the lumber package lands on an Arizona slab, Arm & Hammer telehandlers stand the walls and set the beams — no waiting on rented equipment or borrowed operators.
Licensed and bonded statewide under ROC #324879. Our deepest project history is in the Phoenix West Valley, and we take production, custom, and commercial scopes anywhere in Arizona.
Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, Goodyear, Buckeye, Avondale, El Mirage, and Sun City West — where we framed a 68-home production run and our largest customs.

Send your blueprints or structural drawings. We review the framing scope, do a materials take-off, and deliver a line-item bid — flagging constructibility issues before mobilization.
We verify foundation dimensions and anchor-bolt placement, confirm material delivery timing, review permit status, and coordinate sequencing with the GC and MEP subs.
Walls are snapped, plated, stood, plumbed, and braced. Floors, roof structure, and sheathing follow in sequence — to the nailing schedules and hardware in the drawings.
Before calling for inspection we walk the structure — fire blocking, header sizing, shear-wall nailing, strap installation. Corrections happen before the inspector arrives.
Once framing inspection clears, we walk the punch with the GC or homeowner and hand off a structure ready for MEP rough-in, insulation, and drywall.
We frame custom homes, production residential phases, ADUs, and additions, plus light commercial tenant improvements and shell buildings across Arizona. Our scope covers wood framing from sill plate to ridge — wall systems, floor platforms, roof framing, and exterior sheathing — always from stamped drawings.
Yes. We hold Arizona ROC License #324879 and are bonded as required by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Ask for our license number and certificate of insurance with any bid — we expect you to verify them.
All of Arizona. Our deepest project history is in the Phoenix metro and West Valley — Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, Goodyear, Buckeye — but we frame statewide, including Tucson, Prescott, Flagstaff, and the high country. Call with your project address and we'll confirm scheduling.
Yes. Send us your blueprints or structural drawings and we'll provide a scope-based bid. For new construction, a complete plan set lets us do a materials take-off and labor estimate. For repair or reframing scope, a site visit is typically required first. Call (714) 887-6607 to get started.
Both. On custom builds, renovations, and structural repairs we can contract directly with the homeowner when no GC is on the project. On commercial and production residential projects, we typically operate as a framing subcontractor under the GC. Either way, you get the same attention to structural detail.
A single-story production home in the 1,800–2,400 sq ft range typically frames in 5–8 working days with a full crew. Two-story plans, complex roof geometry, and engineered steel elements add time. We provide a day-count estimate with every bid.
Most of Maricopa County falls in ASCE 7 exposure categories B or C, which requires hurricane straps or clips at rafter and truss tails. We install the strap pattern in the structural drawings, or IRC minimums when no engineer stamp is provided. Monsoon season tests every connection on the frame.
Lumber sitting unshaded on a slab in 110° heat warps fast. We coordinate material drops so walls stand the same day lumber arrives, protect rough openings, and keep headers straight. It is a staging detail that saves rework, and it is the kind of thing you learn by framing here.
