Do you do drywall boarding in Ermineskin?

Yes — boarding in Ermineskin is part of our regular work, and we book to your schedule. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

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.

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 stand behind your boarding in Ermineskin?

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

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.

Is boarding-only an option for Ermineskin 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 Ermineskin home.

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Ermineskin wall gets filled with compound, which cracks and is also a hole in the air seal.

How it should be

Measured and cut to fit. It is slower and it produces a wall that both finishes better and performs better, which is why we do not let it slide as a small thing.

Our Ermineskin drywall boarding process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Ermineskin 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.

Boarding to suit the trades that follow

Leave them what they need

Access panels, bath surrounds, cabinet backing and shower niches all affect where board goes and where it stops.

Asking first

We would rather know the Ermineskin tiler needs a particular substrate behind the shower, or the plumber needs an access panel, before boarding than cut into a finished wall for it afterwards.
