Light-gauge metal stud framing for commercial interiors, exterior non-bearing walls, and load-bearing cold-formed steel structures.
Looking for steel framing in Racine? Edge Enterprise LLC is a family-owned contractor with 25+ years in the trade and over 1,000 framed units in its portfolio. With roughly 77,816 residents, Racine anchors a healthy Racine County construction market where the same GCs, lumberyards, and inspectors see every frame that goes up — and remember who built it well.
Our Long Prairie, MN base puts Racine about 8 hr 45 min out. We plan mobilization, material staging, and crew rotations around that from day one. Wisconsin work falls under the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code and the Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) for residential — a code framework with its own quirks that we know well. Typical design values for the Racine area — ground snow load around 30–35 psf, design wind speeds of 105–115 mph, and frost depths near 48–60 in. — are baked into how we detail and build here; final values are always confirmed with the local building official.
Load-bearing CFS, curtain-wall infill, shaft walls, and ceiling framing — screwed, welded, or clipped per the engineer's details.
Demising walls, furring, soffits, and hard-lid ceilings for tenant improvements and new commercial construction.
Plenty of buildings mix wood and steel. Because we self-perform both, the interface details actually get built the way they were drawn.
Yes — Edge Enterprise self-performs light-gauge steel framing for commercial interiors, exterior infill walls, and load-bearing cold-formed steel projects in Racine and across Wisconsin.
It depends on the building type, code requirements, and finish schedule. Steel wins for non-combustible construction and long interior runs; wood usually wins on cost for low-rise structures. Since we frame both, we'll give you an honest comparison rather than steering you to the only thing we sell.
Yes — shaft liner, area separation walls, and rated demising assemblies are part of nearly every commercial and multi-family steel package we frame.
Absolutely. We regularly contract the metal-stud scope alone — interiors, soffits, or exterior infill — working alongside the GC's other framing subs.
