Light-gauge metal stud framing for commercial interiors, exterior non-bearing walls, and load-bearing cold-formed steel structures.
Looking for steel framing in Columbia Falls? Edge Enterprise LLC is a family-owned contractor with 25+ years in the trade and over 1,000 framed units in its portfolio. In a town like Columbia Falls, builders and homeowners talk. We treat every Flathead County project as the audition for the next three.
From our Long Prairie, MN headquarters, Columbia Falls is about 19 hr 15 min away — close enough for our crews to mobilize quickly and staff the job for its full duration. Montana projects run under the state-adopted IBC/IRC; in mountain-zone jurisdictions, site-specific snow loads and seismic detailing are a fact of life we build for. Typical design values for the Columbia Falls area — ground snow load around 50–100+ psf (site-specific in mountain zones), design wind speeds of 105–115 mph; seismic detailing applies in western MT, and frost depths near 48–72 in. — are baked into how we detail and build here; final values are always confirmed with the local building official.
Load-bearing CFS, curtain-wall infill, shaft walls, and ceiling framing — screwed, welded, or clipped per the engineer's details.
Demising walls, furring, soffits, and hard-lid ceilings for tenant improvements and new commercial construction.
Plenty of buildings mix wood and steel. Because we self-perform both, the interface details actually get built the way they were drawn.
Yes — Edge Enterprise self-performs light-gauge steel framing for commercial interiors, exterior infill walls, and load-bearing cold-formed steel projects in Columbia Falls and across Montana.
It depends on the building type, code requirements, and finish schedule. Steel wins for non-combustible construction and long interior runs; wood usually wins on cost for low-rise structures. Since we frame both, we'll give you an honest comparison rather than steering you to the only thing we sell.
Yes — shaft liner, area separation walls, and rated demising assemblies are part of nearly every commercial and multi-family steel package we frame.
Absolutely. We regularly contract the metal-stud scope alone — interiors, soffits, or exterior infill — working alongside the GC's other framing subs.
