Why does it matter who hangs the board if someone else tapes it?

Because the finisher can only work with what they are given. Sheet layout, butt joints and whether edges land on framing are all decided at hanging, and good hanging costs the same in materials as bad hanging.

What is a butt joint and why avoid it?

Two cut sheet ends meeting, with no factory taper, so the joint has to be built up and feathered wide instead of sitting below the surface. Every one removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.

Can you board only and leave the finishing to us?

Yes — we hang straight and square as a standalone stage, ready for your taper, or we can board and finish it as one job in your Bisset home.

Is boarding-only an option for Bisset builds?

Yes — we hang straight and square as a standalone stage, ready for your taper, or we can board and finish it as one job in your Bisset home.

Can you board over my existing plaster?

Often yes, and where plaster is failing across a whole wall it can be faster and flatter than rebuilding it. It costs wall thickness at every opening though — reveals, casings and outlets all need extending, and that is usually what decides it.

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An Bisset house typically needs standard board through living areas, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry, Type X in the garage assembly and any rated separation, and sometimes acoustic assemblies in bedrooms.

Ordered as a mix

Getting that right at ordering prevents the substitution that happens when the wrong board is what is on site and the schedule is tight.

What affects the cost of drywall boarding in Bisset in Edmonton?

Area, board spec and access

The cost of boarding in Bisset tracks the square footage, the board spec (fire-rated, moisture-resistant and soundproof board cost more than standard), and access — high ceilings and tight stairwells take more time. We price off the framing and a site look.

The right board in Bisset

We put the correct board on every surface — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations — so your Bisset project meets code before the tape goes on.

Butt joints are the enemy

No taper to work with

Factory sheet edges are tapered so tape and compound sit below the surface. A butt joint — two cut ends meeting — has no taper, so the repair has to be built up and feathered wide.

How we reduce them

Longer sheets, planned layout, and running board the length of the wall rather than stacking short pieces. Every butt joint removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.

Our Bisset drywall boarding process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Bisset is done in the right order — ceilings first so the wall sheets support the ceiling edges — with sheets hung tight to the framing and joints staggered so they do not line up and crack.

Square, tight and tape-ready

We cut clean around boxes and openings, keep gaps minimal for the taper, and check the board is flat and fastened properly before we leave. Good boarding makes the finishing faster and the final wall flatter.
