Hysi Framing Inc., Calgary framing contractor
Custom Carpentry · Calgary

Custom carpentry that makes the bones of your build feel intentional.

Stairs, exposed beams, structural retrofits, decks, pergolas: the rough carpentry that lifts a Calgary home from 'fine' to 'finished'.

Overview

Custom Carpentry, done the Hysi way.

Framing is rough carpentry. Custom carpentry is when the rough work has to look as good as the finish trim that goes on top. Stair stringers that are dead-on. Exposed beams that show the build, not the patch job. Structural retrofits that disappear into the design.

Hysi Framing offers custom carpentry across Calgary as part of a framing project or as its own scope. Our lead carpenters trained on the kind of jobs where mistakes can't be hidden, so the standards stay there even when they could be.

Scope

Custom carpentry work we take on

Stair systems

Stringers, landings, headroom checks, code-compliant rise/run. Framed clean for treads, risers, and rail.

Exposed beam work

Glulam, LVL, real timber. Sized with engineer input and detailed so the finish reads beautifully.

Structural retrofits

Removing a load-bearing wall, dropping in a steel or LVL beam, opening up a kitchen, done with engineer drawings.

Decks & outdoor framing

Decks, pergolas, covered patios. Code-compliant ledger attachment and footings.

Custom rough openings

Oversized doors, fold-back windows, vaulted volumes. Framed precisely so finish trim hides nothing.

Built-in carcasses

Frame-in carcasses for built-in cabinetry, fireplace surrounds, and bench seats.

Process

Custom carpentry, the way we run it

  1. 01

    Scope conversation

    We visit, look at the drawings, and figure out exactly what you want this carpentry to feel like.

  2. 02

    Engineer if needed

    For structural moves, we work off stamped engineering. No improvising on load paths.

  3. 03

    Build

    Onsite carpentry by experienced framers, not apprentices learning on your dime.

  4. 04

    Hand-off

    Clean, sized for finish trim, ready for the next trade.

FAQ

Do you do custom carpentry as a standalone, or only with framing?
Both. Plenty of our custom carpentry is part of a larger framing job, but we also take on standalone scopes: a beam drop, a stair rebuild, an exposed-timber feature.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall?
Yes, with engineering. We coordinate the structural drawings, drop the beam, and finish the framing. We will not remove load-bearing walls without engineer sign-off, and you should not let anyone do it that way.
Do you build decks?
Yes. We frame decks and outdoor structures across Calgary: footings, ledgers, joists, posts, and railings rough-framed for finish.
Can you match existing carpentry on an older home?
Usually, yes. Older Calgary character homes have their quirks. We measure them, match dimensional lumber where we can, and shim the rest.
