Rough Carpentry FAQ
Do you frame basement walls to code?+
Yes. All basement framing follows the Ontario Building Code — 16" or 24" stud spacing, pressure-treated bottom plates against concrete, and proper fire-blocking. We coordinate with the City of Windsor building inspector at the framing stage before insulation and drywall.
Can you fix bouncy or squeaky floors?+
Yes. Bouncy floors are usually caused by undersized or over-spanned joists. We sister new joists alongside existing ones, add blocking, and install a new glued subfloor to eliminate flex and squeaks. This is common in older Windsor homes with settled foundations.
Do you handle framing for home additions?+
Yes, we handle all rough carpentry for additions — floor framing, wall framing, and roof framing. We work from engineered plans, secure permits, and coordinate inspections at each stage. Structural framing is the backbone of any addition.
