Framing in Dovercourt, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan into real rooms starts with the frame. In Dovercourt we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. We frame interior, non-load-bearing walls only; a licensed structural engineer handles anything load-bearing. Dovercourt is a Central community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so framing calls here range from clean basement layouts in the newer homes to alteration work in the older ones. The same crew that frames can board, tape and finish too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover Dovercourt, Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Downtown and Central, 7 days a week.

Our Dovercourt framing process, step by step

Layout before lumber

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 Dovercourt for the stage that follows.
