The Cornish and Sons approach

We build decks the way framers think.

Cornish and Sons Framing Inc. brings more than two decades of construction experience directly to homeowners who want a deck built with real structural know-how.

Our story

From the structure behind the walls to the space where home happens.

For more than 20 years, Cornish and Sons worked in the framing trade—the work that gives a house its strength long before finishes go in. That experience shapes every deck we build today.

We continue framing houses and decks for local contractors, including Forino Homes, while now also working directly with homeowners across Reading, Berks County, and nearby communities. It’s a more personal kind of work: hearing how a family lives, reading the site, and creating a deck that feels like it belongs there.

What guides the work

The details underneath matter.

Think structurally

We pay attention to footings, connections, drainage, and load paths—not just the finished surface.

Build with purpose

Every layout is shaped around the home, the yard, and how the space will actually be used.

Treat the work personally

Direct-to-homeowner service means clear conversations, careful planning, and respect for your property.
