Pennsylvania Framing Contractors

Hiring a Framing Contractor in Pennsylvania

Buildermuse currently lists 10 framing contractors in Pennsylvania, averaging 5.0 stars across 297 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Bird in Hand, Dalmatia, and East Earl.

Pennsylvania requires home improvement contractor registration with the Attorney General but does not have a state-level general contractor license with exams. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and other cities have their own licensing requirements for all trades. With no statewide license for this work, checking city and county requirements — plus active insurance — falls on you as the hiring party.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Pennsylvania market sets the floor: construction workers here average $38.33 an hour — about $79,716 a year — across 267,766 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
