Framing in West Springs, square and ready for drywall

Turning an unfinished basement or an open floor plan in West Springs into real rooms starts with the frame. In West Springs we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. In West Springs we frame interior, non-load-bearing walls only; a licensed structural engineer handles anything load-bearing. West Springs is a SW 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 West Springs walls can board, tape and finish them too, so there is no handoff between trades. We cover West Springs, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in West Springs?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in West Springs 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 West Springs homes

Because West Springs is a SW 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.

Our West Springs 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 West Springs 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 West Springs for the stage that follows. Basement development is common in West Springs, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Basement development framing in West Springs

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in West Springs — 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 West Springs job we will tell you honestly when that is what your project needs. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through West Springs, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Common framing situations in West Springs

In West Springs, west Springs 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.

What to expect from framing in West Springs

Because the homes in West Springs are still new, most of what we find is first-season movement rather than damage — hairline cracks at corners and the odd nail pop as the framing dries out.

A lot of the work in West Springs starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.

Builder deficiency work is common in West Springs — nail pops, corner cracks and seams that only appeared after possession.
