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 West Meadowlark Park room with a window running along it that shows through the paint.

Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in West Meadowlark Park?

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

Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in West Meadowlark Park?

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

Can you take out this wall?

Only once we know it is not load-bearing, and that needs drawings or an engineer rather than an assumption. If it is bearing, the job becomes beams and posts — far better priced before demolition than discovered during it.

Do you build bulkheads around ducting in West Meadowlark Park?

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

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.

Basement framing against foundation walls in Edmonton

Hold it off the concrete

Framing tight against an West Meadowlark Park foundation wall puts wood and insulation against a cold, sometimes damp surface with no way to dry.

How it is done

The wall is held off, or a rigid layer goes on the concrete first. It costs an inch or two of floor space and it is the difference between a basement that stays dry and one that smells musty in year two.

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.
