Do you use the right board for code in Meyokumin?

Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove project meets code.

Do you take board-only Meyokumin jobs where we finish ourselves?

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 Meyokumin home.

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.

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.

Do you do drywall boarding in Meyokumin?

Yes — boarding in Meyokumin is part of our regular work, and we book to your schedule. We also cover Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove and Mill Woods and Meadows.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Meyokumin?

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

Our Meyokumin drywall boarding process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Meyokumin 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.

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Meyokumin 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.

Screw pattern, depth and why it is checked

Spacing is specified

Fastener spacing on ceilings and walls comes from the assembly, and inspectors check it. Under-fastening shows up later as nail pops and cracked joints.

Depth matters as much

A screw driven through the paper face has lost its hold and is a defect. Set right it dimples without breaking the paper. Most of what a good hanging crew is paid for is this, repeated thousands of times.
