How long does drywall installation take in a Bannerman home?

A standard basement in a Bannerman home typically takes one to two days to board. New construction or a big reno in Bannerman runs a longer schedule. The Bannerman timeline you get at the quote is realistic, not optimistic. In Bannerman, finishing usually begins the day after boarding wraps.

Does Bannerman 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 Bannerman.

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.

For Bannerman exterior basement walls, what board do you use?

In Bannerman, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Bannerman home.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Bannerman. In Bannerman, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Bannerman ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Bannerman, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Edmonton 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.

Board spec in Edmonton — right product on every surface

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Moisture-resistant board on all Bannerman bathroom and laundry walls. Legal suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between a suite and the main living area need STC soundproof board. In Bannerman, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board. We map every surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product — so there are no surprises when the inspector comes.

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 Bannerman house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.
