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 Hudson 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 Hudson home.

Will you hang the board in Hudson and let our taper finish?

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 Hudson home.

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 Hudson?

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

Drywall Boarding Hudson Edmonton | Board Hanging

Drywall boarding in Hudson, hung straight and square

Every Hudson finish rests on the boarding: sheets tight and square, joints staggered, and the right board in the right place. In Hudson we board new builds, additions, basements and renos as a standalone stage, ready for your taper or for us to finish. Hudson is an older Northwest community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so boarding work here is steady. We cover Hudson, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Sheet length and when to pay for 12-footers

Fewer joints, better wall

A 12-foot sheet across a long Hudson 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.
