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.

Will you hang the board in Skyrattler 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 Skyrattler 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 do drywall boarding in Skyrattler?

Yes — boarding in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill is part of our regular work, and we book to your schedule. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Skyrattler?

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

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Skyrattler wall gets filled with compound, which cracks and is also a hole in the air seal.

How it should be

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 Skyrattler 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 Skyrattler 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 Skyrattler in Edmonton?

Area, board spec and access

The cost of boarding in Skyrattler 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.
