Framing in Highlands, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan into real rooms starts with the frame. In Highlands 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. Highlands is this established North Central community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so framing calls here mix basement development with reno-driven partition changes. The same crew that frames can board, tape and finish too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover Highlands, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and North Central, 7 days a week.

Our Highlands framing process, 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 Highlands 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 Highlands for the stage that follows.

Wall length, layout and openings
