In commercial construction, the integrity of your walls and ceilings defines the quality of the entire build. At M&H Framing & Drywall, we specialize in light and heavy gauge metal stud framing, providing the structural precision and durability required for residential or modern commercial spaces.
Whether it is a tenant fit-out for a new retail store, dividing office partitions, or framing a large-scale warehouse, our team works efficiently to meet strict project deadlines.
Non-load bearing steel framing for dividing workspaces, meeting rooms, and corridors.
Heavy-gauge framing for exterior walls and load-bearing requirements.
Custom framing for decorative bulkheads, drop ceilings, and intricate architectural features.
Framing designed specifically to accommodate fire-rated drywall assemblies and soundproofing requirements.
Steel does not burn, making it the safest choice for fire-code compliance in commercial buildings.
Unlike wood, steel studs do not warp, shrink, or rot. This ensures your walls remain dead-straight for a flawless drywall finish.
Steel framing is lighter and faster to install, helping us keep your project on schedule.
As a Framing contractor in Ottawa, we understand Framing is the most critical stage of any residential construction project. It is the skeleton that holds everything else together. At M&H Framing & Drywall, we believe that if the frame isn’t right, the finish will never be perfect.
We provide expert carpentry services for custom homes, additions, basement renovations, and commercial projects. Our team ensures that every wall is plumb, every corner is square, and every header is supported.

Drywall is the canvas of your interior. At M&H Framing & Drywall, we combine quality with precision. We handle the entire process of hanging, taping, and sanding to create walls and ceilings that are smooth, durable, and free of imperfections.

Sealing joints in fire-rated partitions (warehouses, garages) to meet ULC code requirements.
In modern commercial and multi-residential construction, what goes inside the wall is just as important as the finish on the outside. M&H Framing & Drywall specializes in constructing high-performance wall assemblies designed to stop fire, smoke, and noise.
We work strictly according to ULC (Underwriters Laboratories of Canada) designs and architectural specifications. Whether you need a 1-hour fire separation for a tenant unit or a high Sound Transmission Class (STC) wall for a private boardroom, our team ensures every layer from the insulation to the sealant is installed to code.

The ceiling is often the most overlooked surface in a room, yet it plays a massive role in acoustics, lighting, and concealing mechanical systems. At M&H Framing & Drywall, we specialize in advanced ceiling solutions that improve both the look and performance of your space.

We work closely with electricians and HVAC technicians to ensure lights, vents, and sprinklers are perfectly centered in the tiles or drywall.
