Framing

Before drywall, ceilings or finishes – there’s framing and it shapes everything that follows. Express Drywall Services delivers wood and steel stud commercial framing designed to match your plans, site conditions and commercial code requirements. We install demising walls, partitions, bulkheads, soffits and framed ceiling transitions to support complex architectural features. Our team works from detailed construction drawings and can adapt quickly in the field when conditions change.

Framing isn’t just structure – it defines how HVAC systems fit, where fixtures mount and how ceilings flow. That’s why we coordinate with mechanical, plumbing and electrical trades to ensure every drop and penetration is accounted for. We also build in blocking to support future tile, cabinetry or equipment installation. Bulkhead framing is a specialty – we construct drops that align precisely with ceiling grid systems or drywall.

Our commercial framing integrates with other systems such as moisture-resistant drywall, fire-rated assemblies and T-bar ceilings, allowing for fast sequencing and inspection. Whether you’re building a retail showroom, healthcare facility or multi-tenant office, our layout-first approach minimizes rework. We use commercial-grade steel studs for fire and sound performance and wood when backing or detail work is required.

All components are installed with precision, securely anchored and confirmed against spec. With clean execution and tight tolerances, our framing supports the success of every trade that follows. From the first stud to the final bulkhead – we help define the space before finishes even begin.

In commercial construction, framing sets the pace for every trade that follows – so it has to be fast, accurate and code-compliant. At Express Drywall Services, we offer both wood and steel stud framing for commercial interiors across the GTA. Steel studs are ideal for fire-rated partitions, multi-unit demising walls and large-format layouts, while wood is used where backing, fixtures or specialty finishes are required. Our team is trained to frame walls that are straight, plumb and ready for inspection or immediate boarding.

We begin each job with a full layout review, coordinating wall locations, ceiling drops and soffits to align with HVAC and electrical runs. If framing conflicts with mechanical or plumbing, we adjust quickly and document the solution. We also install backing for tile, drywall, millwork, grab bars and more – clearly marked for other trades.

Our crews build bulkheads and utility enclosures with tight tolerances and smooth transitions into ceiling systems. We work in active spaces, new builds and phased tenant improvements with equal efficiency. When needed, we integrate framing with services like moisture-resistant drywall, fire-rated systems and drywall repair. You get structural readiness, fast turnaround and crews that respect your timeline. Every stud is installed with attention to code, fire rating and acoustic requirements where specified.

Our reputation is built on framing that supports drywallers, tilers and ceiling installers without delay. With over two decades of experience, we understand what general contractors expect from framing crews. When timelines are tight and details matter, Express Drywall Services delivers.
