Do you stand behind your boarding in Wedgewood Heights?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Wedgewood Heights job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

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.

Do you board ceilings and walls?

Yes — we board ceilings first then walls, with staggered joints and tight fastening, so the finishing goes on flat.

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.

Do you take board-only Wedgewood Heights 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 Wedgewood Heights home.

Do you use the right board for code in Wedgewood Heights?

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

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An Wedgewood Heights 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 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 Wedgewood Heights 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.

Boarding new builds, basements and renos in Wedgewood Heights

New construction and additions

In Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North 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.

Sheet length and when to pay for 12-footers

Fewer joints, better wall

A 12-foot sheet across a long Wedgewood Heights 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.

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Wedgewood Heights 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.
