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.

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.

Do you frame basement developments in Keheewin?

Yes — wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall are our most common framing job. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

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

Can you add backing for a TV mount and shelves?

Yes, and tell us before the wall closes. Adding backing while it is open takes minutes; finding it missing afterwards means opening the wall or relying on anchors that eventually pull out. We ask what is going on the walls first.

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

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

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 Keheewin 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.

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 Keheewin room with a window running along it, that shows through the finished paint no matter how good the taping.

Basement framing against foundation walls in Edmonton

Hold it off the concrete

Framing tight against an Keheewin 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.
