HMM and Hector did an outstanding job building me an ADU, from dealing with Palo Alto inspectors and permits to work quality. Communication was also outstanding. I’m very happy and have used them again for smaller jobs on the main house. Highly recommend!

Expert Framing in San Francisco, CA
Framing is the structural backbone of any building project in San Francisco. Whether you are adding a room, remodeling a Victorian flat, or building new construction, solid framing determines how well your structure holds up over time. San Francisco's housing stock is dominated by wood-frame construction, and the city sits in an active seismic zone. That means framing work here must meet strict local building codes designed to reduce earthquake risk. At HMM GC Inc., we handle wall framing, floor systems, roof framing, and structural modifications for both residential and light commercial projects. We read your plans carefully, cut to spec, and build square, plumb, and level from the ground up. Every project is framed to meet San Francisco Department of Building Inspection standards. If your project involves a structural alteration or addition, we coordinate with your design team to keep the work code-compliant. Call HMM GC Inc. to schedule a framing assessment for your San Francisco property.
