In Aldergrove we board new builds, basements and renovations the way a finishing specialist wants it boarded. Aldergrove is an older West Edmonton community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the installation work here is usually settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair.

The most common boarding call in Aldergrove is full basement installation. The builder framed the space; the homeowner is ready to finish it. We hang the ceiling board first — always — then the walls, with moisture-resistant board on all exterior foundation walls. We use the correct screw pattern, land all seams on framing, and cut around mechanical chases and bulkheads cleanly. When the boarding crew leaves an Aldergrove basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Boarding to a premium standard in Aldergrove

Aldergrove homeowners expect the boarding to match the quality of the rest of the home.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Edmonton comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are priced differently), ceiling complexity (flat ceilings vs. vaulted, cathedral, bulkheads and soffits), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Drywall Installation work we do in Aldergrove

Renovation boarding in 1960s and 1970s Aldergrove homes

The most common drywall installation call from Aldergrove is renovation work. Walls come down for a kitchen open-up, a bathroom move or a structural change, and new board goes up on the exposed framing. Aldergrove homes from this era often have original plaster or early drywall that does not match modern board thickness — we assess the framing and select the right board thickness so the surface is consistent.
