Framing in Montgomery, square and ready for drywall

Making rooms out of an open plan or unfinished basement in Montgomery starts with framing. In Montgomery we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. Interior, non-load-bearing walls are what we frame in Montgomery. Anything load-bearing is a licensed structural engineer’s job. Montgomery is an older inner-NW Calgary community mixing character homes with infill builds, where plaster repair and new-build finishing both come up, so framing here often means reworking walls that have shifted or been altered over the decades, alongside basement development. The crew framing your Montgomery job also does the board, tape and finish, removing the handoff entirely. We cover Montgomery, Glacier Ridge, Medicine Hill, Haskayne and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Montgomery?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Montgomery 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 Montgomery homes

Because Montgomery is an older inner-NW Calgary community mixing character homes with infill builds, where plaster repair and new-build finishing both come up, framing here often means reworking walls that have shifted or been altered over the decades, alongside basement development. Some Montgomery homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Our Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery for the stage that follows. Montgomery has infill builds next door to original houses, so two homes on one street can need completely different work.

Basement development framing in Montgomery

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Montgomery — 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 is a licensed structural engineer’s work, and we will tell you honestly if your Montgomery project has crossed into it.

Common framing situations in Montgomery

In Montgomery, like neighbouring Bowness, Montgomery mixes older-home plaster and textured-ceiling repair with full new-construction drywall on the infills replacing original lots — plus riverside water-damage work. Same trusted team, same process on every job — on-site quote, fixed price, no surprises.

What we tend to find in Montgomery

In Montgomery we see original finishes and recent renovations on the same block, so the framing is scoped per house, not per postcode.

Some Montgomery homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely — different backing, different bonding, different failure mode.

Montgomery has infill builds next to original houses, so two homes a few doors apart can need completely different work.

Framing Montgomery: your questions answered

Do you frame basement developments in Montgomery?
Yes, wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall make up the bulk of our Montgomery framing. We also cover Glacier Ridge, Medicine Hill, Haskayne and every Calgary quadrant.
Do you frame load-bearing walls?
No. On Montgomery jobs we frame only interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads. A licensed structural engineer is needed for anything structural, and we say so up front on Montgomery projects.
Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Montgomery?
Yes. Framing, boarding, taping and finishing are one crew on a Montgomery job, so nothing is lost between trades.
Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Montgomery?
Yes, and on most Montgomery basement jobs bulkheads and soffits for ductwork, plumbing and lighting come with it.
How do you coordinate with my electrician and plumber in Montgomery?
Yes, the Montgomery frame is sequenced so electrical and plumbing rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall.
