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 Hawks Ridge?

Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury project meets code.

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.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Hawks Ridge?

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

Do you board ceilings and walls?

Yes — we board ceilings first then walls, with staggered joints and tight fastening, so the finishing goes on flat.

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.

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An Hawks Ridge 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.

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 Hawks Ridge job it is the single highest-leverage stage, and the one clients never see.

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Hawks Ridge 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.
