Framing in Aspen Woods, square and ready for drywall

The frame is where an unfinished Aspen Woods basement or open plan becomes actual rooms. In Aspen Woods 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 in Aspen Woods; load-bearing work belongs to a licensed structural engineer. Aspen Woods is a SW Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so framing calls here range from clean basement layouts in the newer homes to alteration work in the older ones. In a Aspen Woods home the framing crew carries on into boarding, taping and finishing, so no handoff occurs. We cover Aspen Woods, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Aspen Woods?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Aspen Woods tracks the total wall length, the complexity of the layout, and the number of openings and bulkheads. We price off a site walk-through and give a fixed number before we start.

Typical framing work in Aspen Woods homes

Because Aspen Woods is a SW Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, framing calls here range from clean basement layouts in the newer homes to alteration work in the older ones. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Aspen Woods, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Our Aspen Woods framing process, 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 Aspen Woods 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 Aspen Woods for the stage that follows. Much of Aspen Woods carries an orange-peel finish, which is easy to apply and unforgiving to match badly.

Basement development framing in Aspen Woods

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Aspen Woods — bedrooms, a bathroom, a media room or a suite, framed to plan and ready for the trades that follow.

Interior and non-load-bearing only

We keep our framing to interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads. If it is structural it belongs with a licensed structural engineer; you will get a straight answer on that before we start in Aspen Woods. A lot of our Aspen Woods work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common framing situations in Aspen Woods

In Aspen Woods, aspen Woods was established in 2001. Homes of that vintage generally have knockdown ceilings and orange-peel walls, and the common calls are settling cracks, nail pops and basement development. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

Aspen Woods: what shapes the job

Homes in Aspen Woods are settled, so the framing is more often repair and refinish than new board — and the repair has to disappear into a surface that has aged.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.

Orange peel is common on Aspen Woods walls. It is quick to apply and unforgiving to match, so the tip and the timing matter more than the mud.
