Why does framing matter for the drywall finish?

Because the finish inherits the frame. A bowed stud or a wall out of plumb cannot be made flat with compound. Every problem left in the framing becomes a finishing problem and then a visible one.

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

Do you coordinate with my electrician and plumber?

Yes — we sequence the framing so your other trades can rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall.

Should basement framing touch the concrete?

No. That puts wood and insulation against a cold and sometimes damp surface with no way to dry. The wall is held off, or a rigid layer goes on the concrete first. It costs an inch of floor and saves a musty basement.

Do you frame basement developments in Royal Gardens?

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

Backing for everything that gets fixed later

Decide before it closes

Grab bars, TV mounts, floating shelves, cabinets, handrails and towel rails all need something solid behind the board.

The cheap moment

Adding backing while the Royal Gardens 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.

Typical framing work in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill homes

Common framing situations in Royal Gardens in Edmonton

In Royal Gardens, royal Gardens sits in Edmonton's Whitemud district. Royal Gardens is a mature suburban neighbourhood developed during the 1960s. Across roughly 1,420 homes here, the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces.

Load-bearing walls and where we stop

Not our decision to make

Removing or altering a wall that carries load is a structural question, and we do not take a homeowner's assurance that a wall is non-bearing.

What we need

Drawings or an engineer's assessment. If a wall in an Royal Gardens renovation turns out to be bearing, the job becomes beams and posts — a different scope, and one far better priced before demolition than discovered during it.

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