Build Strong Foundations for Home Growth

Schedule Framing for Additions & Expansions throughout Nebraska and Eastern & Central Iowa

You want your home to grow with your family, and that starts with solid structural work. Whether you're adding a bedroom above the garage or extending your kitchen into a sunroom, the framing for additions homeowners trust begins with careful planning and precise execution. DMP Construction, LLC brings 15 years of hands-on skill to every project, ensuring your new space ties seamlessly into your existing walls, floors, and rooflines. You'll notice the difference in how studs align, how joists sit level, and how every connection feels tight and secure from the first inspection onward.


This service covers room additions, second-story framing, garage conversions, and structural modifications that require reinforcement and careful integration. Many homes in Omaha or the surrounding areas were built decades ago with different materials and techniques, so each tie-in demands attention to load distribution, shear strength, and code compliance. You'll receive a free onsite evaluation to assess your structure's capacity, followed by a detailed estimate that outlines scope, timeline, and design options that work within your property lines and budget.

How Our Process Works

Your project begins with an onsite visit where you'll walk through the existing layout and discuss goals for the new space. We measure ceiling heights, check wall plumb, review foundation access, and confirm utility routing before any lumber arrives. You'll know upfront whether your floor joists need sistering, whether your roof trusses can handle a second story, and what kind of structural tie-ins will keep everything stable. This evaluation ensures no surprises once your framing project begins in Nebraska or Eastern & Central Iowa.


Once plans are finalized, DMP Construction, LLC orders engineered lumber, pressure-treated sill plates, galvanized hardware, and any steel beams required for load transfer. Framing starts with layout and anchoring, followed by wall assembly, header installation, and sheathing. Every piece is checked for square, level, and plumb before fasteners go in. Inspections happen at key stages to confirm compliance with local building codes.


After framing passes inspection, we coordinate with mechanical, electrical, and HVAC trades to ensure clean pathways for ductwork, wiring, and plumbing. You'll have a structure ready for insulation and drywall, with blocking in place for cabinets, fixtures, and finish details. The final walkthrough confirms that every stud, rafter, and beam is positioned exactly where it needs to be.

What to Expect When You Book

Homeowners in Omaha or the surrounding areas often have questions about how additions connect to older homes, what permits are required, and how long framing takes. Below are answers to the most common concerns we hear during consultations.

How do you tie new framing into an existing structure?
We remove siding or roofing at the connection point, expose the original framing, and use engineered fasteners and blocking to transfer loads safely. You'll see galvanized straps, lag bolts, and hurricane ties that bond the new studs and rafters to your home's existing skeleton.
Can my home support a second-story addition?
We assess your foundation, floor joists, and wall framing during the onsite evaluation. If reinforcement is needed, we'll specify steel beams, additional footings, or sistered joists before any vertical framing begins.
What permits are required for room additions?
Building permits are required for all structural additions in Omaha. We help coordinate the application process and ensure framing meets code for inspections at footing, framing, and final stages.
How long does framing take for a typical addition?
A single-room addition usually takes one to two weeks, depending on size and complexity. Second-story framing or multi-room expansions may take three to four weeks, with time built in for inspections and weather delays.
Do you work with other trades during the project?
Yes. We coordinate closely with electricians, plumbers, and HVAC contractors to make sure framing accommodates their rough-in work. You'll have a smooth transition from structure to finish without costly rework.

Every addition starts with a solid frame, and every frame starts with a clear plan. Whether you're adding square footage for a growing family or increasing your home's value before selling, you need structural work that aligns with local codes and long-term performance standards.
