Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Hollick-Kenyon?

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

Steel studs or wood in a basement?

Often a mix — steel for long partition runs where straightness matters, wood where cabinets and heavy fixings are going. Steel will not warp or rot; wood takes fasteners anywhere. We will say which we would use where.

Can you take out this wall?

Only once we know it is not load-bearing, and that needs drawings or an engineer rather than an assumption. If it is bearing, the job becomes beams and posts — far better priced before demolition than discovered during it.

Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Hollick-Kenyon?

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

Do you frame basement developments in Hollick-Kenyon?

Yes — wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall are our most common framing job. We also cover Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont and Northeast.

Basement framing against foundation walls in Edmonton

Hold it off the concrete

Framing tight against an Hollick-Kenyon 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.

Backing for everything that gets fixed later

Decide before it closes

Adding backing while the Hollick-Kenyon 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.

Crowning studs and checking for bow

Every stud has a curve

Lumber is rarely straight. Crowning means sighting each stud and setting them all with the bow facing the same way so the wall plane is consistent.

What happens without it

Studs set randomly give a wall that waves in and out, and in an Hollick-Kenyon room with a window running along it, that shows through the finished paint no matter how good the taping.
