Drywall & Framing in Wheaton

Closets, new rooms and drywall in Wheaton

Storage and an extra bedroom are two things a growing household runs short on, and both usually come down to framing. A reach-in or walk-in closet means a short run of wall, a header for the door, blocking for the rod and shelves, and drywall finished inside and out. Closing in a loft means a full wall where a railing used to be, a door, an outlet or two and sometimes a return for the heat. We draw it up with you, price it in writing and build it with the same crew start to finish.

We cover Wheaton, coming in on Roosevelt Road and Naperville Road and working out from Main Street, the Metra station and the streets around Wheaton College. It is the DuPage County seat, with Glen Ellyn, Warrenville and Carol Stream on its borders and the Illinois Prairie Path running through it. Older and newer houses sit across town, and the framing behind the walls varies with them, so we check stud spacing, ceiling height and which way the joists run before we lay out a new wall. That keeps the top plate fastened solid and the door opening square.

Closet and room framing in Wheaton

From sketch to finished room

We measure the space with you, sketch the closet or room layout and write an estimate that covers framing, any electrical and the finish. If the plan changes, or the wall hides a duct or pipe we have to work around, we price it in writing before we do it. Plastic goes up at the doorway, floors and stairs are covered, and we book the crew on the days we said. We walk the finished room with you and clean up so it is ready for paint.
