WHAT WE DO
Professional Steel and Lumber Framing for Residential and Commercial Projects
Framing is where a project takes shape — literally. The quality of the frame determines how every trade that follows does their work, and a frame that’s out of square creates problems that compound through the entire build. Forge Concrete & Demolition provides steel and lumber framing for new construction, additions, and remodels across the San Antonio area and Texas Hill Country, with the precision and professionalism that builders and homeowners can count on.
We work primarily as a framing subcontractor for builders and general contractors who need a reliable crew for residential and light commercial framing scopes. We read plans, work to spec, coordinate with other trades, and deliver framing that’s true, square, and ready for the next crew on the schedule.
Homeowners planning a new build, an addition, or a detached structure on their property are welcome to hire Forge directly. We bring the same standard of work to residential framing projects regardless of size — because the frame is too important to cut corners on.
FRAMING SERVICES
What Forge Frames
Our framing services cover the most common residential and light commercial framing scopes across the San Antonio area. If your project isn’t listed below, contact us — we’re happy to discuss scope.
New Home Framing
Lumber framing for new residential construction — walls, floors, roof structures, and interior partitions framed to plan and ready for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins. We work directly with builders and GCs as a framing subcontractor on production and custom home builds throughout San Antonio and the surrounding Hill Country communities.
Additions & Room Extensions
Framing for home additions, room extensions, and second-story additions — tied into the existing structure and built to match the specifications of your plans. We work with homeowners and general contractors on addition projects of all sizes, and we coordinate with other trades so the project stays on schedule from framing through finish.
Steel Stud Framing
Steel stud framing for commercial interiors, light commercial construction, and residential applications where steel framing is specified. Steel framing is increasingly common in commercial build-outs and mixed-use projects — Forge frames to plan, to code, and to the specifications your project manager or architect has set.
Detached Structures & Outbuildings
Framing for detached garages, workshops, storage buildings, and other outbuildings on residential and commercial properties. Whether you're a homeowner adding a detached garage or a builder including a standalone structure in a custom build, Forge can frame it to spec and leave it ready for sheathing and the next trade.
Remodel Framing
Framing work associated with interior remodels — including wall removal, new partition walls, door and window openings, and structural modifications. Remodel framing requires attention to what's already there as much as what's going in. We work carefully within existing structures, protect surrounding finishes, and frame new elements that integrate cleanly with the existing build.
Light Commercial Framing
Framing for light commercial construction and tenant build-outs, including office spaces, retail interiors, and mixed-use projects. We work as a framing subcontractor for general contractors managing commercial projects throughout the San Antonio area, delivering framing that meets commercial specifications and keeps the build schedule moving.
WHY FORGE?
A Framing Contractor San Antonio Builders and Homeowners Can Trust
Framing isn’t a place to save money by cutting corners. A frame that’s rushed or out of spec creates problems for every trade that follows — drywall that doesn’t hang right, windows that don’t fit, mechanicals that have to work around bad framing. Forge takes framing seriously because we understand what’s at stake when the frame goes up wrong.
Our founder Jon has over a decade of hands-on construction experience, including time spent at large commercial firms and running his own remodeling business. He’s worked around bad framing enough to know exactly what good framing looks like — and that’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every project.
True, Square & Built to Plan
We frame to your plans and specifications — not to approximations. Every wall, floor, and roof structure we frame is checked for plumb, level, and square before we move on. The trades that follow us deserve a solid foundation to work from.
Multi-Material Experience
Not every framing crew works comfortably in both steel and lumber. Forge does. Whether your project calls for traditional lumber framing or steel stud construction, we have the experience to handle it — and to switch between the two when a project requires both.
Subcontractor Ready
We understand how GCs and builders run a job site. We show up when we're scheduled, communicate clearly with project managers, and coordinate with other trades so the build keeps moving. No hand-holding, no surprises.
Licensed & Insured
Forge carries the appropriate general liability insurance for framing work in Texas. We can provide documentation to general contractors and builders before any project begins.

Framing FAQs
What is the difference between steel and lumber framing?
Lumber framing — also called wood framing or stick framing — is the most common framing method for residential construction in Texas. It uses dimensional lumber for wall studs, floor joists, and roof structures. Steel stud framing uses cold-formed steel members instead of wood, and is more common in commercial construction and certain residential applications. Both methods produce structurally sound frames when done correctly. The right choice depends on your project type, local code requirements, and the specifications set by your architect or engineer. Forge handles both.
Do you work from architectural plans?
Yes. We frame to your architectural and structural plans, and we coordinate directly with your project manager or architect if questions arise during the framing process. For homeowners who don't yet have plans, we recommend working with a licensed architect or designer before beginning any new construction or addition framing — having a complete set of plans protects you, your contractor, and the integrity of the finished build.
Can Forge handle framing for a home addition?
How long does framing take on a typical residential project?
Framing timelines vary considerably based on the size and complexity of the project. A small room addition might be framed in a few days, while a full new home frame can take one to several weeks depending on the floor plan, story count, and roof complexity. We provide realistic timelines when we discuss your project scope, and we work to stay on schedule so the trades that follow us can do the same.
