Est. 1984 · About Us

Built Right From the Frame Out

CW Warren Framing, Inc. is a premium rough framing contractor serving Los Angeles, Ventura County, and Santa Barbara. Founded in 1984, we specialize in high-end custom homes, major remodels, and complex residential framing projects. Our team is known for precision, craftsmanship, and detailed coordination with concrete, steel, hold-downs, masonry, stone façade details, and finish elevations. We use decades of field experience along with modern tools like Bluebeam, PlanGrid, drones, lasers, and digital plan coordination to help projects move smoothly from structure to finish. Framing with the finish in mind.

For more than forty years our crews have helped bring complex residential structures to life — from hillside estates and one-of-a-kind churches to detailed remodels and custom homes where every line, connection, and structural detail matters. We understand that framing is more than a phase. It is the structure every trade depends on.

We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern coordination tools, experienced field leadership, and a deep respect for doing the work right from the frame out. We live by the old adage — measure twice, cut once.

Precision Built Into the Process

Exceptional homes are built in layers. Long before the final materials are installed, the quality of the home is shaped by the frame behind it. At CW Warren Framing, we approach framing with a deep understanding of what comes next — rooflines, elevations, openings, steel, concrete, masonry, and finish details all depend on careful structural execution from the beginning.

We have partnered with builders, architects, engineers, and project teams to bring clarity and craftsmanship to complex residential builds throughout Southern California. Our strength is not only in what we build, but in how we coordinate — anticipating details, communicating clearly. Built with precision. Framed with the finish in mind.
