Framing in Sherwood, square and ready for drywall

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

What affects the cost of framing in Sherwood?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Sherwood 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 Sherwood homes

Because Sherwood is a NW 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. A lot of our Sherwood work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Our Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood for the stage that follows.

Basement development framing in Sherwood

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Sherwood — 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 Sherwood project turns out to need one. Most of Sherwood went up recently enough that we are usually working against a builder's original finish rather than someone else's repair.

Common framing situations in Sherwood

In Sherwood, sherwood is a community built out in the 2010s. 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.

What we tend to find in Sherwood

Sherwood is recent enough that we are normally working with original, untouched surfaces — which makes matching straightforward and keeps the framing quicker than it would be in an older area.

Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Sherwood, which means the repair is judged on texture match as much as on whether the surface is flat.

In Sherwood we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.

Framing Sherwood: your questions answered

Do you frame basement developments in Sherwood?
Yes. The job we do most in Sherwood is a wood-frame basement layout taken to drywall-ready. We also cover Glacier Ridge, Medicine Hill, Haskayne and every Calgary quadrant.
Do you frame load-bearing walls?
No. Our Sherwood 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 Sherwood home.
Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Sherwood?
Yes. A single crew covers framing through finishing in Sherwood, so nothing falls through a gap between trades.
Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Sherwood?
Yes. Almost every Sherwood basement frame includes bulkheads and soffits to box in ducting, plumbing and lights.
Will you work around my electrician and plumber in Sherwood?
Yes. The framing on a Sherwood job is sequenced so the other trades rough in cleanly ahead of insulation and drywall.
