Framing in Crestmont, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan in Crestmont into real rooms starts with the frame. In Crestmont we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. In Crestmont we frame interior, non-load-bearing walls only; a licensed structural engineer handles anything load-bearing. Crestmont is one of SW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so framing calls here are almost all basement development layouts, since the main floors are freshly built to plan. The same crew that frames your Crestmont walls can board, tape and finish them too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover Crestmont, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Crestmont?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Crestmont 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 Crestmont homes

Because Crestmont is one of SW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, framing calls here are almost all basement development layouts, since the main floors are freshly built to plan. Where Crestmont still has stipple, we check how many coats are on it before deciding to match or remove.

Our Crestmont 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 Crestmont 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 Crestmont for the stage that follows. Where Crestmont still has stipple, we check how many coats are on it before deciding to match or remove.

Basement development framing in Crestmont

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Crestmont — 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. Anything structural belongs with a licensed structural engineer -- and on a Crestmont job we will tell you honestly when that is what your project needs.

Common framing situations in Crestmont

In Crestmont, we see fewer stipple-ceiling jobs in Crestmont than in older areas, since most homes here were built with smooth ceilings — the calls instead are wall-crack repair, nail pops, and the occasional renovation drywall job. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
