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.

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 King Edward Park?

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

Should we use longer sheets?

On long walls, great rooms and anywhere with raking light, yes — they remove joints. In a small bedroom the difference is invisible and not worth the handling. We order per room rather than one size for the house.

Do you do drywall boarding in King Edward Park?

Yes — boarding in King Edward Park is part of our regular work, and we book to your schedule. We also cover Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano and Southeast.

Boarding over existing walls in a renovation

Sometimes the right answer

Where King Edward Park 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.

King Edward Park drywall in context

About King Edward Park

King Edward Park was farmed as early as the 1870s and annexed in 1912 but most development didn't occur until the 1950s.

What we see in King Edward Park

In King Edward Park 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.

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An King Edward Park 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.

Sheet length and when to pay for 12-footers

Fewer joints, better wall

A 12-foot sheet across a long King Edward Park 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.
