Framing in Gateway, square and ready for drywall

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

What affects the cost of framing in Gateway?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Gateway 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 Gateway homes

Because Gateway is a Airdrie 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. Gateway spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Our Gateway 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 Gateway 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 Gateway for the stage that follows. In Gateway we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Basement development framing in Gateway

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Gateway — 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 Gateway job we will tell you honestly when that is what your project needs.

Common framing situations in Gateway

In Gateway, gateway is a mixed-use Airdrie area where we handle both residential drywall repair in the surrounding homes and boarding/taping for renovation and build-out projects nearby, including fire-rated and acoustic board where multi-unit code requires it. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
