Should we use longer sheets?

On long walls, great rooms and anywhere with raking light, yes — they remove joints. In a small bedroom the difference is invisible and not worth the handling. We order per room rather than one size for the house.

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.

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.

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

Area, board spec and access

The cost of boarding in Eastwood 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 Eastwood

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 Eastwood 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.

Why hanging decides the finish

The finisher inherits the layout

Where the sheets land, how many butt joints there are and whether the edges hit framing all get decided at hanging. A finisher can only work with what they are given.

The cheapest quality decision

Good hanging costs the same in materials as bad hanging. On an Eastwood job it is the single highest-leverage stage, and the one clients never see.
