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.

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 build bulkheads around ducting in Walker?

Yes — bulkheads and soffits to box in ductwork, plumbing and lighting are part of nearly every basement frame.

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

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

Do you frame basement developments in Walker?

Yes — wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall are our most common framing job. We also cover Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie and Ellerslie.

Our Walker framing process in Edmonton, step by step

Layout before lumber

We chalk the plate lines from the plan or your walk-through direction and confirm every wall location in your Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie space before anything is cut.

Square, plumb, spaced right

We frame the walls square and plumb with stud spacing matched to the board going over them — the frame stage is where a wavy wall gets built or avoided. See our basement drywall work in Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie for the stage that follows.

Our Walker framing process in Edmonton, step by step

Layout before lumber

We chalk the plate lines from the plan or your walk-through direction and confirm every wall location in your Walker space before anything is cut.

Square, plumb, spaced right

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

Door and window openings

Square, plumb and the right size

An opening framed even slightly out means the door will not hang properly, and no amount of shimming fully fixes a twisted opening.

What we check

Diagonals measured rather than eyeballed, and the rough opening sized to the actual door being installed rather than a standard assumed. Getting the real door dimensions before framing saves a return visit.
