        "text": "The cost of framing a small addition varies based on square footage, lumber prices, ceiling height, roof geometry, and whether structural modifications to your existing house are required. Removing load-bearing exterior walls to create open floor plans requires heavy engineered lumber (like LVL beams) and temporary shoring, which increases material and labor costs. To get an accurate framing estimate, provide completed architectural plans or clear layout dimensions, window and door schedules, and roof specifications so the exact lumber take-off and structural hardware requirements can be calculated.",
