Does Avonmore taping follow straight after boarding?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Avonmore.

Do you hang the ceiling board before the walls?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up first on every Edmonton installation job. Wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints unsupported — they crack sooner and perform worse under tape.

What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

In Avonmore, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Away from moisture, Avonmore interior walls get standard 1/2” board. Legal suites in Avonmore take 5/8” Type X on the ceiling and soundproof party walls. Each Avonmore surface gets its board product confirmed at the quote.

How long does drywall installation take in a Edmonton home?

A standard open basement in a Edmonton new build typically takes one to two days to board. A full renovation or larger new build takes longer depending on scope. Honest scheduling in Avonmore: the quoted timeline is the real one. The taping crew can usually start the next day.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Bonnie Doon, Capilano, Cloverdale, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

Our Drywall Installation process in Avonmore in Edmonton

Assess before we start — always in Avonmore

Every job in Avonmore starts with an on-site assessment. We do not guess at scope, board type or texture match. We confirm what is needed, give you a fixed price and only then start the work.

Left clean and paint-ready in Avonmore

When we leave your Avonmore home, the work is done properly — Level 4 tape on every joint, texture matched, surface sanded flat and ready for the painter. No rework from the painter. No callbacks.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Avonmore house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

Our drywall installation process in Avonmore in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Avonmore homes

Every boarding job in Avonmore starts with the ceiling. In Avonmore we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Avonmore order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Avonmore, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Avonmore

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Avonmore, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Avonmore, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Avonmore, board stops clean at window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Avonmore home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

New installs, renovation work and repair in Avonmore

We handle the full range of drywall installation work in Avonmore — from brand-new basement boarding and taping to single-room renovation patches and targeted repair work. Every job gets the same Level 4 standard and fixed price commitment.

Legal suites and multi-use spaces in Avonmore

Legal suite work in Avonmore requires specific board specs: fire-rated on the suite ceiling, soundproof on party walls, moisture-resistant in wet areas. We confirm the spec before we start and board to it.

Handling the sheets without damaging them

Damage happens before it goes up

Board stored on edge, dragged, or left where it can take moisture arrives at the wall already compromised, and a crushed edge or a damp corner never finishes well.

On our sites

Stacked flat and dry, carried rather than dragged, and damaged sheets set aside for offcuts rather than hung in an Avonmore room where they will show through the finish.
