Framing in Wildwood, square and ready for drywall

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

What affects the cost of framing in Wildwood?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Wildwood 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 Wildwood homes

Because Wildwood is an older SW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, framing here often means reworking walls that have shifted or been altered over the decades, alongside basement development. Some Wildwood homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Our Wildwood 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 Wildwood 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 Wildwood for the stage that follows.

Basement development framing in Wildwood

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Wildwood — 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 Wildwood job we will tell you honestly when that is what your project needs. Some Wildwood homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Common framing situations in Wildwood

In Wildwood, a lot of our Wildwood calls come from owners partway through a renovation who have opened up a wall and found old plaster, horsehair lath, or a mix of both — we can patch back into it or remove and replace with modern board, whichever suits the rest of the room. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

What to expect from framing in Wildwood

In Wildwood we see original finishes and recent renovations on the same block, so the framing is scoped per house, not per postcode.

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