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 use the right board for code in Ormsby Place?

Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Ormsby Place project meets code.

Is boarding-only an option for Ormsby Place 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 Ormsby Place 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 Ormsby Place 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.

Boarding new builds, basements and renos in Ormsby Place

New construction and additions

In Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North 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.

Boarding to suit the trades that follow

Leave them what they need

Access panels, bath surrounds, cabinet backing and shower niches all affect where board goes and where it stops.

Asking first

We would rather know the Ormsby Place tiler needs a particular substrate behind the shower, or the plumber needs an access panel, before boarding than cut into a finished wall for it afterwards.

Handling and storing board on site

It is fragile until it is up

Drywall damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp Ormsby Place slab and bows if stacked badly.

What we do

Stored flat and off the floor, kept dry, and not delivered weeks before it is needed. Damaged edges become damaged joints, and a sheet that has taken moisture never finishes properly.

Ceilings first, always

Order is structural

Ceiling board goes up before wall board so the wall sheets support the ceiling perimeter. Reversed, the ceiling edge is unsupported and cracks along the wall junction.

Also practical

Working overhead with a clear floor is faster and safer than working around stacked wall sheets, which matters on a whole-house Ormsby Place job.
