When building or renovating, the roof and framing form the structural skeleton of the home. If these elements are poorly designed or installed, problems cascade—from leaks and sagging to safety and energy inefficiency. At Kiwi Construction & Maintenance, we specialize in robust roofing and framing work that ensures your project stands strong for the long term.

Why Framing & Roofing Matter

Framing transfers loads from your roof and floors down to the foundation, while the roof protects everything underneath from weather. Mistakes in either area can compromise structural stability, insulation, and long-term durability.

Choosing the Right Materials

Engineered lumber & trusses offer reliable dimensional stability and longer spans.

Heavy-duty sheathing & sheathing underlayment adds structural stiffness and protects against wind uplift.

Metal, asphalt shingle, or composite roofing must suit local climate (wind, snow, rain).

Fasteners & connectors: using hurricane clips, joist hangers, and proper nails/screws ensures load paths remain intact.

We evaluate climate, building codes, and intended design loads before selecting materials.

Structural Design & Load Calculations

Every build has to handle live loads (snow, occupancy) and dead loads (foundation, materials). Our team ensures that engineering and design match these factors. Framing layout (span, spacing, header size) and roof pitch are determined so the home performs as expected.

Precision in Installation

Straight layout & level joists reduce twisting, uneven floors, and shifting.

Proper nailing patterns & sheathing stagger improve rigidity.

Roof underlayment and flashing must be installed with careful overlap to prevent leaks.

Ventilation, insulation, roof drainage are integrated early to support energy performance.

We maintain tight tolerances and double-check alignment, squareness, and moisture barriers.

Inspection & Quality Assurance

Before closing up walls or installing finishes, we perform structural inspection checks—alignment, fasteners, connections—to catch issues early. Because once walls are sealed, corrections become costly.
