Framing in Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan into real rooms starts with the frame. In Kirkness 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. Kirkness is an older Northeast community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so framing here often means reworking walls that have shifted or been altered over the decades, alongside basement development. The same crew that frames can board, tape and finish too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover Kirkness, Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont and Northeast, 7 days a week.
