Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Aspen Gardens walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Aspen Gardens homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Aspen Gardens walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Aspen Gardens homes use standard 1/2” board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where spec matters in Aspen Gardens

Exterior basement walls in Aspen Gardens homes need moisture-resistant board. In Aspen Gardens, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board.

Boarding done right means the finish can be done right in Aspen Gardens

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Un-level Aspen Gardens board, mid-field seams or wide screw spacing all make trouble for the finishers. We board every Aspen Gardens job the way a taping specialist would want it boarded — because we are the taping specialist. When we finish the boarding, we can finish the taping to Level 4 without fighting the installation underneath.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Aspen Gardens?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Aspen Gardens

The cost of drywall installation in Aspen Gardens comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaults, bulkheads, soffits add setup), and new-build or renovation amid the existing Aspen Gardens trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Aspen Gardens homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Aspen Gardens home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Aspen Gardens wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. The Aspen Gardens suite ceiling is 5/8” Type X fire-rated. STC soundproof board helps on Aspen Gardens suite party walls. Standard 1/2” suits Aspen Gardens interior walls clear of moisture. We choose the Aspen Gardens board per surface up front, not post-inspection.

Our drywall installation process in Aspen Gardens, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Aspen Gardens homes

Every boarding job in Aspen Gardens starts with the ceiling. The Aspen Gardens ceiling boards first so the wall board can butt under and support it. In Aspen Gardens, skipping the sequence leaves joints carrying their own weight — cracks follow. No Aspen Gardens wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Aspen Gardens

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. Seams on framing, not between studs — the Aspen Gardens standard. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Aspen Gardens jobs. We hold Aspen Gardens board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is done in an Aspen Gardens home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.
