Framing in St. Andrews Heights, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan in St. Andrews Heights into real rooms starts with the frame. In St. Andrews Heights we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. In St. Andrews Heights we frame interior, non-load-bearing walls only; a licensed structural engineer handles anything load-bearing. St. Andrews Heights is an older NW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so framing here often means reworking walls that have shifted or been altered over the decades, alongside basement development. The same crew that frames your St. Andrews Heights walls can board, tape and finish them too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover St. Andrews Heights, Glacier Ridge, Medicine Hill, Haskayne and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Our St. Andrews Heights framing process in Calgary, 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 St. Andrews Heights 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 St. Andrews Heights for the stage that follows. In St. Andrews Heights we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

From open concrete to real rooms

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 St. Andrews Heights job we will tell you honestly when that is what your project needs.
