Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Bearspaw?

Yes. Before leaving Bearspaw, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

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 Bearspaw: the quoted timeline is the real one. The taping crew can usually start the next day.

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

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

Our Edmonton drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always

Every boarding job in Edmonton starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints carrying their own weight unsupported — they perform worse under the tape and are more likely to crack over time. No Bearspaw wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

Wall boarding — screw pattern, joint placement and board selection

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern: every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All seams land on framing. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Bearspaw jobs. We hold Bearspaw board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is complete, every surface is at the right plane, the taping crew can start immediately and there is no rework to do before they begin.
