Framing in Mactaggart, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan into real rooms starts with the frame. In Mactaggart 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. Mactaggart is an older Whitemud 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 Mactaggart, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Common framing situations in Mactaggart

Basement layouts

A hamlet-and-acreage area just north of Edmonton where custom homes and outbuildings drive a mix of drywall installation and finishing calls, so framing an unfinished basement into a usable layout is the call we hear most.

Partition changes

We also reframe and add partition walls in Mactaggart homes when a layout changes — closing an opening, splitting a room, or adding a closet or storage wall.
