We are framing and exterior finish specialists, with the leadership, staff, and equipment to meet your project’s needs.

Our current field leadership consists of multiple foremen/project supervisors that oversee a large staff of carpenters. We are capable of operating crews in multiple projects simultaneously, or staffing a single project with up to 20 carpenters.

We provide our services on both large and small-scale projects, including additions, custom & speculation homes, and large multi-story commercial/residential structures.

In the summer of 2006, a young second-generation general contractor named Jason (“Jay”) Lajeunesse founded a small start-up, called JDL Building & Remodeling, in Southern New Hampshire.

By doing quality work, being refreshingly communicative with clients, and keeping his promises, Jason’s start-up soon developed a successful following. Clients began hiring JDL to provide in-house carpentry (framing, roofing, siding, finish work) as well as comprehensive general contracting services for their design-build projects.

In 2009, JDL was awarded its first large commercial contract as a framing sub-contractor. During negotiations, we were asked if we provided in-house framing services. This client request resonated as an “a-ha moment” for Jason. Immediately, he saw the marketplace need for adding a dedicated wood-framing service division to his building start-up. Within months, United Framing was born.
