Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Cromdale?

Yes — one crew frames, boards, tapes and finishes, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between trades.

What is crowning a stud?

Sighting each stud and setting them all with the bow facing the same way so the wall plane is consistent. Studs set randomly give a wall that waves, and in an Cromdale room with a window running along it that shows through the paint.

Cromdale drywall in context

About Cromdale

One of Edmonton's older inner-city neighbourhoods, Cromdale lies just to the northeast of the City centre.

What we see in Cromdale

In Cromdale the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Our Cromdale framing process in Edmonton, step by step

Layout before lumber

We chalk the plate lines from the plan or your walk-through direction and confirm every wall location in your Cromdale space before anything is cut.

Square, plumb, spaced right

We frame the walls square and plumb with stud spacing matched to the board going over them — the frame stage is where a wavy wall gets built or avoided. See our basement drywall work in Cromdale for the stage that follows.

Backing for everything that gets fixed later

Decide before it closes

Grab bars, TV mounts, floating shelves, cabinets, handrails and towel rails all need something solid behind the board.

The cheap moment

Adding backing while the Cromdale wall is open takes minutes. Finding it missing after the wall is finished means opening it or relying on hollow-wall anchors that eventually pull out. We ask what is going on the walls before we close them.

Bulkheads, and why they are never straight by accident

Boxing what has to stay

Cromdale basements are full of ducts, beams and plumbing that cannot move. Bulkheads box them, and each one adds corners.

Getting them right

A bulkhead framed slightly out of square is obvious once it is boarded, because the eye follows its long lines. They take longer than their size suggests and they are worth the extra care.

Layout for the sheet, not just for the room

Where the joints will land

Framing at the right spacing and adding backing where a sheet edge will fall means the board has something to fasten to at every joint.

Butt joints

An unsupported butt joint in an Cromdale wall is the hardest thing in drywall to hide. Thinking about sheet layout at framing stage removes them, and it costs nothing but attention.
