Building in Franklin
Homeowners in Franklin tend to call us when they want the work done once, properly, instead of twice.
We are a Gratis company, and Franklin falls squarely in the area we service week in and week out. A crew that is not spending hours in a truck starts earlier and stays later, which shows up in the schedule.
One team handles excavation, foundation, framing and finish, so nothing gets lost between trades.
The way we run a job is fixed: plan it properly, prepare the site, build the structure, then finish it carefully.
Reach out and we will put a real scope together for your Franklin property.
What building here involves
Property types vary from established-neighborhood homes needing modernization to newer builds needing quality upgrades to acreage properties with septic, well and access considerations.
Ohio puts buildings through real extremes. Wind-driven rain, ice damming, summer humidity and hard freezes all attack different parts of the envelope.
Ohio puts buildings through real extremes.
Plan review and inspections are part of our scope. Anticipating each department’s requirements prevents most of the delays we see elsewhere.
Because we are close, a question on your job gets answered in person rather than over the phone a week later.

Read moreScope, schedule and staying in touch
Every project starts with a written scope covering inclusions, exclusions, expected conditions and change procedure. That is the document both of us refer back to when a question comes up.
Timelines here are built from the actual sequence of work and include slack for the things that reliably interfere: weather windows, inspection scheduling and material lead times.
Expect direct, timely updates. We do not manage clients by keeping them uninformed until a stage is finished.
Closeout is a conversation on site, not a form. You walk it, you tell us what is wrong, we fix it.

What we put in writing
Our roofing carries real manufacturer coverage: forty years on standing seam metal, thirty on dimensional shingles, both contingent on being installed to spec.
Our warranty on workmanship is simple: if we built it wrong, we make it right. Keeping that promise is why we limit how much we take on.
Franklin questions
What area do you cover?
We work a seventy-mile radius from Gratis, Ohio, which covers Montgomery, Greene, Warren, Butler, Preble and Miami counties.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We carry the coverage required for residential construction in Ohio and can provide certificates before work begins.
What warranty comes with a standing seam metal roof?
The standing seam metal we install carries a forty-year warranty. Dimensional shingles carry a thirty-year warranty.
Who is actually on site during my build?
Our own crew handles the core work. Samuel is on site through the build, not just at the start and the end.
How do you handle changes once we have started?
Changes get written down, priced and approved before they happen. Nothing gets built off a hallway conversation.
Can you remodel an older home, or only build new?
Both. A good share of our work is remodeling houses that were built well and are worth keeping.
Do you give a written scope before work starts?
Always. It states what is included, what is excluded, what we expect to find once things are opened up, and how a change gets priced and approved. A one-page quote is how disputes start.
