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.

Is boarding-only an option for Rossdale 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 Rossdale home.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Rossdale?

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.

Will you hang the board in Rossdale and let our taper finish?

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 Rossdale home.

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.

Why hanging decides the finish

The finisher inherits the layout

Where the sheets land, how many butt joints there are and whether the edges hit framing all get decided at hanging. A finisher can only work with what they are given.

The cheapest quality decision

Good hanging costs the same in materials as bad hanging. On an Rossdale job it is the single highest-leverage stage, and the one clients never see.

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.
