Drywall boarding in Southwest Edmonton, hung straight and square

Every Southwest Edmonton finish rests on the boarding: sheets tight and square, joints staggered, and the right board in the right place. In Southwest Edmonton we board new builds, additions, basements and renos as a standalone stage, ready for your taper or for us to finish. Southwest Edmonton is an older Southwest Edmonton community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so boarding work here is steady. We cover Southwest Edmonton, Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh and Southwest Edmonton, 7 days a week.

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 Southwest Edmonton 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.

Where we work in Southwest Edmonton

We cover drywall boarding across Southwest Edmonton. Pick your community below for the detail that applies to your street.

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Southwest Edmonton 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.

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An Southwest Edmonton house typically needs standard board through living areas, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry, Type X in the garage assembly and any rated separation, and sometimes acoustic assemblies in bedrooms.

Ordered as a mix

Getting that right at ordering prevents the substitution that happens when the wrong board is what is on site and the schedule is tight.

Our Southwest Edmonton drywall boarding process, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Southwest Edmonton 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.

Drywall Boarding Southwest Edmonton: your questions answered

Do you use the right board for code in Southwest Edmonton?
Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Southwest Edmonton project meets code.
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.
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 Southwest Edmonton home.
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.
Do you stand behind your boarding in Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh?
Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.
Do you use the right board for code in Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh?
Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek, Callaghan, Cavanagh project meets code.
