Framing in Old Town, square and ready for drywall

Framing in Old Town, square and ready for drywall

Making rooms out of an open plan or unfinished basement in Old Town starts with framing. In Old Town 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 Old Town. Anything load-bearing is a licensed structural engineer’s job. Old Town 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 crew framing your Old Town job also does the board, tape and finish, removing the handoff entirely. We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Old Town?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Old Town 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 Old Town homes

Because Old Town 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. Some Old Town homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Our Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Old Town for the stage that follows.

Basement development framing in Old Town

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Old Town — 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 Old Town project has crossed into it. Some Old Town homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Common framing situations in Old Town

In Old Town, old Town Airdrie has some of the city's oldest housing stock, so we regularly work on plaster repair, settling cracks that have built up over many years, and drywall retrofits where a renovation replaces old lath-and-plaster walls with modern board. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

Why Old Town homeowners trust Emplastrum for framing

Framed by the people who finish it

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 Old Town.

Fixed price, same-day reply

We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week. Free quotes at the Old Town property, a fixed price, and we stand behind the result. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

In Old Town

What framing usually involves in Old Town

Old Town 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.

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

FAQ — Framing Old Town

Framing Old Town: your questions answered

Do you frame basement developments in Old Town?
Yes, wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall make up the bulk of our Old Town framing. We also cover Bayside, Kings Heights, Coopers Crossing and the Airdrie area.
Do you frame load-bearing walls?
No. On Old Town 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 Old Town projects.
Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Old Town?
Yes. Framing, boarding, taping and finishing are one crew on a Old Town job, so nothing is lost between trades.
Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Old Town?
Yes, and on most Old Town basement jobs bulkheads and soffits for ductwork, plumbing and lighting come with it.
How do you coordinate with my electrician and plumber in Old Town?
Yes, the Old Town frame is sequenced so electrical and plumbing rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall.
