Framing in Legacy, square and ready for drywall

Framing in Legacy, square and ready for drywall

In a Legacy home, real rooms out of an unfinished basement or open floor plan begin at the framing. In Legacy we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. Our Legacy framing is interior and non-load-bearing only -- anything load-bearing goes to a licensed structural engineer. Legacy is a SW 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. Whoever frames it in Legacy also boards, tapes and finishes it -- nothing changes hands between trades. We cover Legacy, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Legacy?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Legacy 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 Legacy homes

Because Legacy is a SW 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.

Our Legacy 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 Legacy 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 Legacy for the stage that follows. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Legacy, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Basement development framing in Legacy

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Legacy — 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. Structural work goes to a licensed structural engineer, and we say so plainly when a Legacy project turns out to need one. New homes in Legacy tend to have long unbroken wall runs and high ceilings, which changes how a seam has to be feathered.

Common framing situations in Legacy

In Legacy, legacy is a community still building out. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

Why Legacy homeowners trust Emplastrum for framing

As a drywall and finishing company first, we frame walls the way we want to board and tape them — square, plumb and consistent — because no amount of mud hides a crooked frame in Legacy.

In Legacy

How Legacy homes affect the work

In a newly built Legacy home the drywall has not yet been through a full winter, so we plan the framing around settling that is still happening rather than settling that has finished.

Builder deficiency work is common in Legacy — nail pops, corner cracks and seams that only appeared after possession.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.

FAQ — Framing Legacy

Framing Legacy: your questions answered

Do you frame basement developments in Legacy?
Yes. The job we do most in Legacy is a wood-frame basement layout taken to drywall-ready. We also cover Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant.
Do you frame load-bearing walls?
No. Our Legacy framing covers interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads, nothing beyond that. Structural work requires a licensed structural engineer -- we flag it as soon as we see it in a Legacy home.

Yes. A single crew covers framing through finishing in Legacy, so nothing falls through a gap between trades.
Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Legacy?
Yes. Almost every Legacy basement frame includes bulkheads and soffits to box in ducting, plumbing and lights.
Will you work around my electrician and plumber in Legacy?
Yes. The framing on a Legacy job is sequenced so the other trades rough in cleanly ahead of insulation and drywall.
