We board every Edmonton job the way we would want it boarded before we tape it: ceiling first, correct screw pattern, seams on framing, board plumb. The finish is better because the boarding behind it is right.

Drywall installation work we do in Blackmud Creek

New development boarding in Blackmud Creek — basement and flex rooms

Blackmud Creek homeowners finishing new development basements call us to do the boarding before the taping crew. We hang ceiling board first, wall board second, with moisture-resistant on exterior foundation walls and any wall adjacent to plumbing rough-in. We cut bulkheads cleanly, use the correct screw pattern throughout and leave the space ready for taping. No re-work — the taper can start the day after we finish.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Blackmud Creek?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Blackmud Creek

The cost of drywall installation in Blackmud Creek 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. vaulted ceilings, bulkheads and soffits add time), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing Blackmud Creek trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Not every surface in an Blackmud Creek home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Blackmud Creek bathrooms and laundry need moisture-resistant board on all walls. Blackmud Creek legal-suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated. Blackmud Creek party walls between a suite and living space benefit from STC soundproof board. Standard 1/2” board is correct for Blackmud Creek interior walls away from moisture.
