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.

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.

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.

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.

Our Patricia Heights drywall boarding process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood 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.

Handling and storing board on site

It is fragile until it is up

Drywall damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp Patricia Heights 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.

Common drywall boarding situations in Patricia Heights in Edmonton

In Patricia Heights, patricia Heights sits in Edmonton's Jasper Place district. This area was annexed to the City in 1964, and is dominated by single-family homes. Across roughly 665 homes here, the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We cover Patricia Heights and the surrounding Jasper Place district, 7 days a week. Same trusted team, same process on every job — on-site quote, fixed price, no surprises.

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 Patricia Heights job.
