Steel Frame Homes for your new construction

We have built our houses with wood and bricks for hundreds of years. Stick built homes is the most popular framing method and material for homes in New York and most of the rest of the United States. However, our wood supply is not unlimited, and there is a dwindling supply of old growth forests.

Steel framing uses steel instead of wood for the framing of your home saving the valuable wood resource. Instead of using traditional wood construction to frame your new home, your HandyAmerican.com contractor will use steel beams to support your home.  Not only is this method of framing saving the environment in, the homes in New York are structurally stronger as well.
