Basement Framing Services
Walls, blocking, and structure built for finished basements
Basement walls have to deal with foundations, moisture, and uneven floors. We frame walls plumb, set blocking for fixtures, leave room for insulation and vapour control, and prep for electrical, plumbing, drywall, and finishes.
Framing is coordinated with the rest of the basement plan so each downstream trade has a clean base to work on.
Stud walls
Studs, plates, and headers framed plumb against foundation walls and across rooms.
Bulkheads and headers
Bulkheads built around ducts, beams, and obstructions for clean ceilings and tidy lines.
Blocking and openings
In-wall blocking and rough openings prepped for cabinets, doors, fixtures, and accessories.
Insulation prep
Stud spacing, channel locations, and gaps planned to support proper insulation and vapour control.
Plumb blocked and ready for insulation
