Framing in Chestermere Estates, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan in Chestermere Estates into real rooms starts with the frame. In Chestermere Estates we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. In Chestermere Estates we frame interior, non-load-bearing walls only; a licensed structural engineer handles anything load-bearing. Chestermere Estates is a 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. The same crew that frames your Chestermere Estates walls can board, tape and finish them too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover Chestermere Estates and all of Chestermere, 7 days a week.

Our Chestermere Estates 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 Chestermere Estates 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 Chestermere Estates for the stage that follows.
