A sub that protects your schedule.

You do not need another framer. You need one that shows up, hits the dry in date, and does not generate punch lists.

  • Labor only is the normal arrangement. You order the package through your own supplier, it lands on site, we frame it. We send the list of what to order.
  • Committed start dates, in writing. We tell you about problems before you find them.
  • Paperwork ready. Certificate of insurance on request the same day, W-9 and SAM.gov registration on file.
  • We work under your permit. The owner or the contractor of record pulls it, the way a framing sub should.

Do we build where you build?

Straight answers

Questions builders and homeowners ask.

What does a framing subcontractor do?

A framing subcontractor builds the wood structure of a building for the builder or general contractor: floors, walls, roof systems and trusses, plus beams and columns. Mavericks Construction does this as a labor subcontractor in Genesee, Oakland, Lapeer and Livingston County, Michigan. The builder runs the project and holds the permit, and Mavericks frames it straight and inspection ready.

What does rough framing cost in Michigan?

Mavericks Construction prices rough framing labor for a new home at about $13 to $14 per square foot in Mid-Michigan. Garages run $8 to $13 and additions $14 to $22 per square foot. These are preliminary, labor only ranges. Lumber and trusses are bought by the builder and are not included. A firm quote follows plan review.

Do you supply the lumber, or does the builder?

Usually not. Labor only is the normal arrangement. The builder orders the framing package through their own supplier, it is delivered to the site, and Mavericks frames it. Mavericks sends the list of what to order. Labor plus material is available on request and usually fits homeowners better.

What counties do you serve?

Mavericks Construction serves Genesee, Oakland, Lapeer and Livingston County, Michigan, from its office in Grand Blanc. Recent jobs include Troy, Novi, Berkley, Clawson, Bloomfield Hills and Grand Blanc. Metro Detroit jobs outside those four counties are taken by request. Call or text (810) 280-9008 to check a specific city.

Do you work directly with homeowners?

Yes, for some work. Homeowners hire Mavericks Construction directly for roof replacement and decks, and can get a ballpark price from the online estimator before talking to anyone. Framing for new homes, additions and basements is normally done for the builder or general contractor running the job, so those homeowners usually come through their builder.

Who pulls the permit?

The builder or general contractor of record pulls the permit. Mavericks works as a labor subcontractor under their license. For homeowner projects that need a permit, a partner general contractor pulls it and is the contractor of record while Mavericks does the framing labor.

How fast can I get a framing quote?

A firm framing quote usually comes within 24 hours of Mavericks Construction receiving the plans. Upload a PDF on the website, or text photos and a sketch to (810) 280-9008. The online estimator gives a preliminary range in about 60 seconds with no email required. The firm quote states in writing what is included.

Are you insured, and do you hold a builder's license?

Mavericks Construction is fully insured and SAM.gov registered, and a certificate of insurance is available the same day. Mavericks does not hold a Michigan Residential Builder license. It works as a framing labor subcontractor under the builder's or general contractor's license, and on permitted homeowner work a partner general contractor is the contractor of record.

How long does it take to frame a house?

A typical 2,000 to 3,500 square foot two story home goes from first plate to dry-in in roughly 1 to 3 weeks, depending on complexity and weather. Mavericks Construction puts a committed schedule in the quote and sends daily progress photos while framing. A second crew is available when a schedule needs it.

Do you frame basements?

Yes. Mavericks Construction frames basements: perimeter and partition walls, soffits, bulkheads, and rough framing for bathrooms and egress windows. It is labor only, done under the contractor of record's permit. Labor runs about $22 to $30 per linear foot of wall, with a $1,500 minimum, as a preliminary range before plan review.
