Framing in Twinhills, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan in Twinhills into real rooms starts with the frame. In Twinhills we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. In Twinhills we frame interior, non-load-bearing walls only; a licensed structural engineer handles anything load-bearing. Twinhills is a NE 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. The same crew that frames your Twinhills walls can board, tape and finish them too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover Twinhills, Homestead, Moraine, Lewisburg and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Twinhills?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Twinhills 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 Twinhills homes

Because Twinhills is a NE 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 Twinhills work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

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

Basement development framing in Twinhills

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Twinhills — 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 belongs with a licensed structural engineer -- and on a Twinhills job we will tell you honestly when that is what your project needs.

Common framing situations in Twinhills

In Twinhills, twinhills 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.

Twinhills: what shapes the job

Twinhills 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.

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

Basements in Twinhills run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
