Is boarding-only an option for Lorelei 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 Lorelei home.

Can you board only and leave the finishing to us?

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 Lorelei home.

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.

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.

Drywall Boarding Lorelei Edmonton | Board Hanging

Drywall boarding in Lorelei, hung straight and square

On Lorelei jobs the finish is only as good as the hang: straight, square, tight sheets, staggered joints, correct board per surface. In Lorelei we board new builds, additions, basements and renos as a standalone stage, ready for your taper or for us to finish. Lorelei 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 Lorelei, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Lorelei drywall in context

About Lorelei

Lorelei is named for castle site on the Rhine in Germany.

What we see in Lorelei

In Lorelei 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.

Boarding new builds, basements and renos in Lorelei

New construction and additions

In Lorelei we board complete new builds and additions, coordinating with the trades so the project keeps moving.

Basements and renovations

Basement development and reno boarding are common here. We board the new layout square and to spec, ready for tape. See our basement drywall and new construction pages.

Sheet length and when to pay for 12-footers

Fewer joints, better wall

A 12-foot sheet across a long Lorelei 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.

What affects the cost of drywall boarding in Lorelei in Edmonton?

Area, board spec and access

The cost of boarding in Lorelei 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 Lorelei

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 Lorelei project meets code before the tape goes on.

Our Lorelei drywall boarding process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Albany, Athlone, Baranow 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.
