About

40+ Years of Framing — Now Focused Only on Basements

Hawkeye Framing is owned by Jim Honolka — a Utah framing contractor whose decades of experience across decks, residential, and commercial work now go straight into one thing: framing Utah basements right.

Hawkeye Framing started with a simple idea: that framing — the structural bones of any home or building — should be done with the same care you'd want in your own house. Forty years later, that's still how we run every job.

Over four decades, Jim has framed everything from custom decks and whole homes to commercial buildings across the Wasatch Front. Today, all of that experience goes into one thing: basement framing — the most underused square footage in almost every Utah home.

We don't take on decks, residential framing, or commercial jobs anymore — basement framing is the only service we offer. That focus is exactly what lets us deliver quality lumber, plumb walls, square corners, and a structure your family will actually use, every single time.

We've been voted top three framing contractors in our region three years running. But the recognition we're most proud of comes from the homeowners who call us back, project after project.
