Free estimate, no obligation

If you don't straighten the framing first, the drywall copies every bow. We check every stud with a straight edge and fix the crooked ones before the walls close. Call (619) 382-8671 for a free estimate.

What you can call us for

  • Every stud checked with a straight edge
  • Bowed studs planed or shimmed
  • Twisted studs replaced or blocked
  • Walls ready for cabinets and tile
  • Done before insulation and drywall
  • Free estimate first

Why it matters

A bowed stud shows up later as a wavy wall, a gap behind a cabinet or a shadow line when the light hits it. It costs little to fix while the wall is open and a lot after it is closed.

From crooked studs to smooth walls

On our jobs this is the first step: straight edge every stud, then the insulation, then the drywall. That order is how the walls end up flat.

Where we do this work

Custom homes in Fairbanks Ranch and remodels of older houses in North Park both need flat walls for cabinets, tile and smooth finishes. We work from National City and take framing jobs across San Diego County, including San Diego, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas and Ramona. See all the areas we serve.

Before you call

What moves the price

  • How many walls
  • How far out of line the studs are
  • Whether cabinets or tile go on the wall

The estimate is free and you get the price before we start. Our labor carries a 1-year warranty; the materials carry the manufacturer's warranty.

Framing questions

Still not sure? Jorge answers in English or Spanish.

Do you build new framing?

We do not build homes from the ground up. We straighten and correct framing before insulation and drywall, and we frame within remodels.
