Structural roof framing on a Watsonville, CA remodel by Double Y Framing

Framing Contractor in Watsonville, CA

Structural framing is the service Double Y Framing does most — it's the foundation every deck, addition, ADU, and custom home is built on.

Framing is where a project either holds up for decades or starts causing problems in year three. Double Y Framing was built around this trade specifically — Sergio Heredia's crew frames structural walls, roof systems, and floor systems, then carries that same structural know-how into decks, additions, ADUs, and full custom homes.

In the Pajaro Valley, that means building for two things at once: California's seismic requirements, and the coastal fog that rolls through Watsonville most mornings. Framing has to be square, properly connected with the right hardware, and sheathed and wrapped in a way that keeps moisture out of the wall cavity before siding ever goes on. We treat every stud, header, and connector as part of a system, not a checklist.

This category covers the structural side of what we do: framing itself, home additions that tie new structure into an existing house, and full custom home builds where we're framing from the foundation up.

Why Watsonville Homeowners Choose Us for Framing

It's our main trade

Framing isn't a sideline for us — by Sergio's own count it's the job we do most often, which means it's the one we've refined the most.

Built for this climate

We frame with the marine layer's moisture in mind, not just the plan set.

Straight bids

You get a real number for the structural work, not a lowball that grows once the walls are open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you frame both new construction and remodels?
Yes. We frame ground-up custom homes and ADUs, and we tie new framing into existing structures for additions and remodels — matching load paths and connections to what's already there.
Do you pull permits for framing work?
Structural framing on additions, custom homes, and ADUs requires permits and inspections in Santa Cruz and Monterey County jurisdictions. We work from stamped plans and build to what the inspector signs off on.
How does framing near the coast differ from inland framing?
Coastal fog and moisture mean we pay close attention to sheathing, house wrap, and flashing details at every framed opening — a detail that matters more here than in a dry inland climate.
Can you frame to updated seismic code on an older Watsonville home?
Yes. A lot of the additions and remodels we frame tie into houses built before current seismic requirements, so we handle the shear wall and connection upgrades the new framing needs to meet code.
