Do you frame basement developments in Hazeldean?

Yes — wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall are our most common framing job. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

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 Hazeldean room with a window running along it that shows through the paint.

Should basement framing touch the concrete?

No. That puts wood and insulation against a cold and sometimes damp surface with no way to dry. The wall is held off, or a rigid layer goes on the concrete first. It costs an inch of floor and saves a musty basement.

Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Hazeldean?

Yes — bulkheads and soffits to box in ductwork, plumbing and lighting are part of nearly every basement frame.

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

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

Load-bearing walls and where we stop

Not our decision to make

Removing or altering a wall that carries load is a structural question, and we do not take a homeowner's assurance that a wall is non-bearing.

What we need

Drawings or an engineer's assessment. If a wall in an Hazeldean renovation turns out to be bearing, the job becomes beams and posts — a different scope, and one far better priced before demolition than discovered during it.

Steel studs against wood in a Hazeldean basement

Different tools for different jobs

Steel is straight, will not warp, does not burn and does not rot, which suits a basement or a shop. Wood takes fasteners anywhere and is easier for backing and heavy fixings.

How we choose

Often a mix — steel for the long partition runs where straightness matters, wood where cabinets and heavy items are going. We will say which we would use where and why.

Basement framing against foundation walls in Edmonton

Hold it off the concrete

Framing tight against an Hazeldean 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.
