Do you do drywall boarding in Riverdale?

Yes — boarding in Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt is part of our regular work, and we book to your schedule. We also cover Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt and Central.

Why does it matter who hangs the board if someone else tapes it?

Because the finisher can only work with what they are given. Sheet layout, butt joints and whether edges land on framing are all decided at hanging, and good hanging costs the same in materials as bad hanging.

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 stand behind your boarding in Riverdale?

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

Riverdale drywall in context

About Riverdale

Just east of City Hall and bounded to the south and east by the river, this large flat area is an important part of Edmonton's history.

What we see in Riverdale

In Riverdale the drywall work is infill new-build settling beside original-stock plaster/popcorn work. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Boarding new builds, basements and renos in Riverdale

New construction and additions

In Riverdale 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.

Handling and storing board on site

It is fragile until it is up

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

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

Area, board spec and access

The cost of boarding in Riverdale 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 Riverdale

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 Riverdale project meets code before the tape goes on.

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Riverdale 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.

Butt joints are the enemy

No taper to work with

Factory sheet edges are tapered so tape and compound sit below the surface. A butt joint — two cut ends meeting — has no taper, so the repair has to be built up and feathered wide.

How we reduce them

Longer sheets, planned layout, and running board the length of the wall rather than stacking short pieces. Every butt joint removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.
