Do you frame basement developments in Crystal Shores?

Yes -- most of our Crystal Shores framing work is wood-frame basement layouts finished ready for board. We also cover D’Arcy, Drake Landing, Cimarron and the Okotoks area.

Yes -- because one Crystal Shores crew does all four stages, there is no handoff for anything to get lost in.

Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Crystal Shores?

Yes -- in Crystal Shores basements, bulkheads and soffits around ductwork, plumbing and lighting are close to standard.

Do you sequence with the other trades on a Crystal Shores project?

Framing in Crystal Shores, square and ready for drywall

The frame is where an unfinished Crystal Shores basement or open plan becomes actual rooms. In Crystal Shores 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 Crystal Shores; load-bearing work belongs to a licensed structural engineer. Crystal Shores 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. In a Crystal Shores home the framing crew carries on into boarding, taping and finishing, so no handoff occurs. We cover Crystal Shores, D’Arcy, Drake Landing, Cimarron and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Crystal Shores?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Crystal Shores 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 Crystal Shores homes

Because Crystal Shores is a 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. In Crystal Shores we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Our Crystal Shores 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 Crystal Shores 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 Crystal Shores for the stage that follows. Housing in Crystal Shores is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Basement development framing in Crystal Shores

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Crystal Shores — 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 Crystal Shores. Crystal Shores spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common framing situations in Crystal Shores

In Crystal Shores, crystal Shores is Okotoks’s only lakeside community, with year-round lake and clubhouse access driving premium home finishes -- Level 5 skim coats and careful texture matching are common requests here. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
