Frame to Finish Contractors: How We Deliver Commercial Projects from the Ground Up

We’re Tejas Contractors Inc., and when we say “frame to finish,” we mean it. Our work begins before the first stud goes up and continues until the last coat of paint is dry. We serve as a commercial general contractor with a core specialty in drywall, framing, and turnkey interior build-outs. From retail stores to historic restorations, our approach is simple: plan precisely, build smart, and deliver clean. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every project.

Planning Ahead Is Building Smart

Every job we take on starts with an intentional pre-construction process. We coordinate directly with architects, owners, and engineers to identify potential design conflicts, material logistics, and scheduling efficiencies. When we know what’s coming, we can shape the outcome before the crew arrives.

Our frame to finish services are detailed on our Services page, where clients can see how we bring drywall, light gauge framing, insulation, ceilings, and complete interior finishes under one umbrella. That means tighter coordination, faster timelines, and cleaner job sites.

The Middle of the Job Is Where Most Fall Behind

This is where we lean in. We don’t wait for things to go wrong—we stay ahead of the curve. We hold weekly coordination meetings with field leads, foremen, and project managers to make sure framing, drywall, taping, and finishing are happening in sequence without overlap or lag.

We don’t overextend our team. If we can’t staff a job with the quality it demands, we don’t take it on. That’s a commitment we’ve kept since day one.

Our Subcontractor Relationships Matter

We treat our subcontractors like extensions of our crew. The subcontractor portal we’ve built simplifies documentation, safety compliance, and bid invites. We vet our trades, verify certifications, and work with partners we trust. When we send a drywall finisher to your site, we know their name, know their past performance, and know they’ll get the job done right.

Case Study: Medical Arts Building, San Antonio

Restoring the historic facade of the San Antonio Medical Arts Building took more than tools—it took precision. We managed interior framing behind preserved plaster walls, modernized utilities, and installed moisture-resistant drywall—all while maintaining architectural integrity. You can read more about it here.

Frame to Finish Means We Own the Schedule

We don’t just react to delays—we structure our work to avoid them. Framing, drywall, ceilings, and final paint are all mapped out early in the schedule, with buffer windows to absorb weather, inspections, or supply delays. That allows us to stay productive even when a curveball hits.

Here’s how a typical frame-to-finish timeline looks in our workflow:

Typical Frame-to-Finish Timeline (Commercial Interiors)

Phase Time Estimate Key Milestones
Mobilization & Layout 1 week Site prep, layout approval
Framing 2–3 weeks Wall framing, blocking, MEP coordination
Drywall Installation 1–2 weeks Hanging, corner beads, inspection
Drywall Finishing 1–2 weeks Taping, sanding, texture
Ceilings & Trim 1 week Grid install, acoustical tiles, trim carpentry
Paint & Final Touches 1 week Primer, paint, caulk, punch list

Portfolio You Can Walk Through

If you’re looking to see what frame to finish really looks like, our portfolio shows it clearly. You’ll find national retail chains, multi-tenant office remodels, and specialty build-outs, all completed under strict timelines with coordinated finishes.

From curved drywall to acoustical ceiling solutions, we bring a craftsman mindset to commercial builds. Check out our article on embracing curvature if you want to see how we merge creativity with code compliance.

Why We Keep Everything Under One Roof

Too many commercial contractors rely on outside trades for every stage. That’s how deadlines slip and costs climb. We bring drywall, metal framing, acoustic ceilings, and finish carpentry in-house, and only partner with subs who share our production rhythm.

By streamlining scope under one GC, we reduce errors, RFIs, and handoff confusion. That means fewer phone calls for the owner and faster closeout documents for the architect.

Built to Scale Without Losing Control

Whether we’re framing a single-story buildout or running crews on a multi-floor corporate office, we scale with control. Our foremen run site-specific safety orientations, daily logs, and performance tracking. We hold punch walks throughout—not just at the end.

Our team builds with production in mind, but finishes with pride. If we wouldn’t hang our logo in the front lobby, we’ll keep working until we would.

Join Our Vendor and Trade Network

We’re growing our base of qualified subcontractors and vendors for framing, drywall, acoustic ceilings, and finish packages. If your team performs, we want to know you.

We value clean work, real communication, and sticking to scope. If that’s your style, you’ll fit in here.
