Why use steel studs instead of wood?

They arrive straight and stay straight — no warping with humidity, no shrinking, no twisting a finished wall out of plane later. That matters most on long runs, tall walls and where the finish level is high.

Do you also do the drywall after framing in Boyle Street?

Yes — we frame and drywall Central McDougall, Dovercourt, Downtown projects as one job with one point of responsibility, or frame only for your own crew.

Can I hang a TV on a steel-framed wall?

Only with backing built in. You cannot trust a heavy fixing into a steel stud web. Tell us before the wall closes and we add backing plates or blocking — there is no fallback of hitting a stud like there is in wood.

Can my Boyle Street electrician and plumber rough in around your framing?

Yes — in Boyle Street we frame in a sequence that lets electrical and plumbing rough in before close-up.

Do you also do the drywall after framing in Boyle Street?

Yes — one Boyle Street contract covering frame and drywall, or just the framing for your own drywall crew.

Do you coordinate Boyle Street framing with electricians and plumbers?

Yes — trades rough in cleanly because the Boyle Street framing is sequenced for them, ahead of insulation and drywall.

Straightness that stays

Steel studs arrive straight and stay straight. They do not warp with humidity, do not shrink as they dry, and do not twist a finished wall out of plane a year later.

Where it matters most

Long partition runs, tall walls and anywhere the finish level is high. In a basement or a shop the moisture and rot resistance matter as well.

Our Boyle Street metal stud framing process in Edmonton, step by step

Layout first

We lay out track lines on the floor and ceiling from the plan or your walk-through direction, confirming every wall location before a single stud goes up in your Boyle Street space.

Frame square and plumb

We install track, cut and set the studs to spacing, and check every wall for square and plumb as we go — the framing stage is where a crooked wall gets built or avoided. See our basement drywall work in Boyle Street once the frame is up.

Framing for basements and openings in Boyle Street

Basement development layouts

A basement development layout is the most common metal stud job we do in Boyle Street — framing bedrooms, bathrooms, a media room or a legal suite to the plan, ready for insulation and drywall.

Openings and bulkheads

We frame partition walls and bulkheads to hide ductwork and provide a clean, level surface for the ceiling and lighting trades.

Boarding onto steel

Different screws, different technique

Steel takes fine-thread screws rather than coarse, and over-driving strips the stud rather than dimpling neatly.

Why crew matters

A crew used to wood will strip fasteners in steel until they adjust. When the same crew frames and boards an Boyle Street wall, that adjustment has already happened before the first sheet goes up.
