Drywall Boarding Hodgson | Drywall Boarding

Drywall boarding in Hodgson, hung straight and square

On Hodgson jobs the finish is only as good as the hang: straight, square, tight sheets, staggered joints, correct board per surface. In Hodgson we board new builds, additions, basements and renos as a standalone stage, ready for your taper or for us to finish. Hodgson is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so boarding work here is steady. We cover Hodgson, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Our Hodgson drywall boarding process, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Hodgson 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.

What affects the cost of drywall boarding in Hodgson?

Area, board spec and access

The cost of boarding in Hodgson 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 Hodgson

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 Hodgson project meets code before the tape goes on.
