Drywall & Framing in Schaumburg

An extra bedroom or office framed out of space you already have, finished so the new wall looks like it came with the house. We do it in Schaumburg homes and townhomes with the dust sealed in.

Adding a room in Schaumburg with framing and drywall

Splitting a large room or closing in a loft is one of the most practical framing jobs there is. We lay out the new wall, frame it with a door opening and header, add blocking where shelves or a TV will go, and fill the cavity with sound insulation if you want quiet on the other side. Then the wall is hung, taped and finished to match the rest of the room. When the new room needs an outlet or a light switch, our crew handles that too, with a permit where required.

We work in Schaumburg every week, reached by I-90, I-290 and Route 53, with Golf Road and Meacham Road getting us across town. The village spans parts of Cook and DuPage counties and mixes townhomes, condos and single-family houses. A room meant to be a bedroom has code requirements, including a window large enough to get out through, so we check that before we frame. In a townhome, we also ask what the association allows inside the unit before the estimate is final.

What we build in a Schaumburg room addition

Room divider walls

A new wall is framed from floor to ceiling, anchored at both ends, with a header over the door.

Loft enclosures

Open lofts get a wall framed in, boarded and finished, with a door that closes properly.

Sound insulation

Insulation in the new wall cavity cuts down the noise between the two rooms.

Outlets and switches

New boxes and wiring go in before the board, with the permit and inspection where required.

Closet in the new room

We can frame a closet into the new space, with blocking for the rod and shelf.

Finish to match

The new wall gets the same texture or flat finish as the walls around it, ready for paint.

How a new wall goes up

We walk the room with you, measure it, and write up the layout, the door, any wiring and the finish in one estimate. The permit is part of the scope when the village requires one, and we schedule the inspection between framing and drywall. If something hidden turns up, say a duct or pipe where the wall needs to land, you get the change in writing to approve. Finishing takes several visits for drying, and the walkthrough at the end is where you check it with us.

FAQ

Drywall & Framing in Schaumburg: questions

Can a loft become a legal bedroom?
Sometimes. A bedroom needs a window big enough for escape, along with other code items. We check the space against those before we frame and tell you plainly if it works better as an office.
Do I need a permit in Schaumburg to add a wall?
Adding a wall with new wiring, or any structural change, usually needs a village permit. We confirm with Schaumburg and pull it as part of the job.
How long does it take to add a wall?
Framing and wiring come first, then the inspection if one is required, then hanging and several visits of finishing. Your estimate lists the steps in order.
Do you work in the towns around Schaumburg?
Yes. We also frame and finish in Hoffman Estates, Roselle, Hanover Park and Palatine.
