Framing decides how good the drywall can be in Edmonton

The finish inherits the frame

A wall that is out of plumb or has a bowed stud cannot be made flat with compound. Every problem left in an Gariepy frame becomes a finishing problem and then a visible one.

Why one crew helps

When the people framing know they will also be boarding and finishing, the incentive to crown studs properly and set a straight line is immediate rather than someone else's issue.

Gariepy drywall in context

About Gariepy

This area was named for Joseph Hormisdas Gariepy, an early pioneer merchant.

What we see in Gariepy

In Gariepy 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.

Bulkheads, and why they are never straight by accident

Boxing what has to stay

Gariepy 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.

Our Gariepy 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 Gariepy 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 Gariepy for the stage that follows.

Basement framing against foundation walls in Edmonton

Hold it off the concrete

Framing tight against an Gariepy foundation wall puts wood and insulation against a cold, sometimes damp surface with no way to dry.

How it is done

The wall is held off, or a rigid layer goes on the concrete first. It costs an inch or two of floor space and it is the difference between a basement that stays dry and one that smells musty in year two.

What affects the cost of framing in Gariepy in Edmonton?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North tracks the total wall length, the complexity of the layout, and the number of openings and bulkheads. We price off a site walk-through and give a fixed number before we start.
