Framing Southwest Edmonton

Framing in Southwest Edmonton, set out for the board that follows

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan into real rooms starts with the frame. In Southwest Edmonton 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. Southwest Edmonton is 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 calls here range from clean basement layouts in the newer homes to alteration work in the older ones. The same crew that frames can board, tape and finish too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover Southwest Edmonton, Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh and Southwest Edmonton, 7 days a week.

Framing Southwest Edmonton: your questions answered

Do you frame basement developments in Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh?

Yes — wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall are our most common framing job. We also cover Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh and Southwest Edmonton.

Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh in Edmonton?

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

Do you frame load-bearing walls?

No — we frame interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads only. Anything structural needs a licensed structural engineer, and we will tell you when that is the case.

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.

Should basement framing touch the concrete in Edmonton?

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.

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