Do you use the right board for code in Summerlea?

Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Summerlea project meets code.

Is boarding-only an option for Summerlea 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 Summerlea home.

Do you take board-only Summerlea jobs where we finish ourselves?

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 Summerlea 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.

Will you hang the board in Summerlea 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 Summerlea home.

Do ceilings or walls go up first?

Ceilings, always. The wall sheets then support the ceiling perimeter. Reversed, the ceiling edge is unsupported and cracks along the wall junction.

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An Summerlea 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.

Boarding over existing walls in a renovation

Sometimes the right answer

Where Summerlea plaster is failing across a wall, boarding over it can be faster and flatter than rebuilding the plaster.

What to watch

It costs wall thickness at every opening — window reveals, door casings and outlets all need extending. We point out those knock-on costs before you choose it, because they are what makes the decision.

Sheet length and when to pay for 12-footers

Fewer joints, better wall

A 12-foot sheet across a long Summerlea hallway removes joints that a 8-footers would create. It costs slightly more and handles harder.

Where it matters

Long walls, great rooms, and anywhere with raking light. In a small bedroom the difference is invisible and not worth the handling. We order per room rather than one size for the house.
