A Nova Scotia framing crew, working where it grew up
Aron was brought up on his father's farm here in Nova Scotia. He has been framing since 1996, started Action Framing in 2014, and has worked out of Maitland since the summer of 2024.
The company
Raised on a Nova Scotia farm, framing out of Maitland
Action Framing is Aron's company. He was brought up in Nova Scotia from the age of five, on his father's farm, and stayed on it until he was twenty-one. Farm work is where the habits came from: start early, fix what breaks, and finish what you said you would finish.
Aron has been framing since 1996 and started Action Framing in 2014, putting up houses, garages, decks and additions, and the company has run out of Maitland since June 2024. The work around here has gone from a storage shed in Hortonville to a duplex in Truro to a lakeside cottage at Cook's Brook.
From action to satisfaction has been on the trailer since the beginning. It means what it has always meant: turn up when we said we would, build it square, and leave the site so the next trade can get straight to work.
How we work
Four things worth knowing before you hire a framing crew
None of this is complicated. It is just the stuff that goes wrong when nobody says it out loud at the start.
- 01
The price is written down
Framing packages get quoted in writing with inclusions and exclusions listed. If something is not in the quote, it is not in the price, and you will know which is which before anything gets ordered.
- 02
Aron is on the tools
The person who walks your lot and prices the job is the person framing it. There is no estimator handing a file to a crew who never saw the site.
- 03
Winter counts as a season
Houses have gone up here in February. Cold slows a day and a storm can push a start, and the work still gets done. Booking winter is often the quickest route into a build.
- 04
The site gets left clean
Offcuts stacked, banding picked up, floor swept. Every trade after us works faster on a tidy building, and it is the thing customers mention most in reviews.
The trade
The part of your house nobody ever sees again
Once the drywall goes on, the framing disappears. Nobody walks a finished house and compliments the header over the patio door. What they notice instead is a floor that does not bounce, doors that stay closed, and trim that sits flat because the walls behind it are actually plumb.
That is the whole argument for getting this stage right. Every trade that follows works off what the framers left them, and the cost of fixing a frame goes up every single week after it is built.
