Does it matter how the board is stored on site?

Yes. It damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp slab and bows if stacked badly. Damaged edges become damaged joints, and a sheet that has taken moisture never finishes properly.

Do you use the right board for code in Ekota?

Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove project meets code.

Do ceilings or walls go up first?

Ceilings, always. The wall sheets then support the ceiling perimeter. Reversed, the ceiling edge is unsupported and cracks along the wall junction.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Ekota?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Do you take board-only Ekota jobs where we finish ourselves?

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 Ekota home.

Is boarding-only an option for Ekota 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 Ekota home.

Ekota drywall in context

About Ekota

In the Cree language, Ekota means 'special place.' Ekota was, like all Mill Woods residential neighbourhoods, planned in efficient, curved streets and cul de sacs.

What we see in Ekota

In Ekota the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Screw pattern, depth and why it is checked

Spacing is specified

Fastener spacing on ceilings and walls comes from the assembly, and inspectors check it. Under-fastening shows up later as nail pops and cracked joints.

Depth matters as much

A screw driven through the paper face has lost its hold and is a defect. Set right it dimples without breaking the paper. Most of what a good hanging crew is paid for is this, repeated thousands of times.

Boarding new builds, basements and renos in Ekota

New construction and additions

In Ekota we board complete new builds and additions, coordinating with the trades so the project keeps moving.

Basements and renovations

Basement development and reno boarding are common here. We board the new layout square and to spec, ready for tape. See our basement drywall and new construction pages.

Sheet length and when to pay for 12-footers

Fewer joints, better wall

A 12-foot sheet across a long Ekota hallway removes joints that a 8-footers would create. It costs slightly more and handles harder.

Where it matters

Long walls, great rooms, and anywhere with raking light. In a small bedroom the difference is invisible and not worth the handling. We order per room rather than one size for the house.

Boarding over existing walls in a renovation

Sometimes the right answer

Where Ekota plaster is failing across a wall, boarding over it can be faster and flatter than rebuilding the plaster.

What to watch

It costs wall thickness at every opening — window reveals, door casings and outlets all need extending. We point out those knock-on costs before you choose it, because they are what makes the decision.
