## About

Owner-operator framing sub out of Lehi. Run a crew of 4–6 depending on the season. We do production framing for tract builders and custom stick-frame for high-end residential — single-family, townhomes, the occasional light commercial shell.

Started swinging hammers for a framing crew right out of high school, bought my first truck at 23, started Mercer Framing at 26. Still on the tools most days.

We're not the cheapest bid. We're the crew that shows up clean, frames square, and doesn't leave problems for the drywaller to find.
