Framing in East Lakeview Shores, square and ready for drywall

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

Our East Lakeview 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 East Lakeview 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 East Lakeview Shores for the stage that follows. In East Lakeview Shores basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

How East Lakeview Shores homes affect the work

East Lakeview Shores spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall genuinely differs street to street — which is why we look before quoting the framing rather than after.

Basements in East Lakeview Shores run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
