Drywall Installation work we do in Bonnie Doon

Renovation boarding in 1960s and 1970s Bonnie Doon homes

The most common drywall installation call from Bonnie Doon is renovation work. Walls come down for a kitchen open-up, a bathroom move or a structural change, and new board goes up on the exposed framing. Bonnie Doon homes from this era often have original plaster or early drywall that does not match modern board thickness — we assess the framing and select the right board thickness so the surface is consistent.

Bathroom and wet-area boarding in Bonnie Doon — moisture-resistant board

Bathroom renovations in Bonnie Doon homes require moisture-resistant board behind tile and around any plumbing chase. We hang moisture-resistant board properly so the tile substrate is solid and the installation holds for the long term.

Our drywall installation process in Bonnie Doon, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Bonnie Doon homes

Every boarding job in Bonnie Doon starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Bonnie Doon because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Bonnie Doon ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Bonnie Doon walls until the ceiling is done. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Bonnie Doon

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All Bonnie Doon seams land on framing, not between studs. Inside and outside Bonnie Doon corners are clean and square. Bonnie Doon board does not run past window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Bonnie Doon home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Drywall board types used in Bonnie Doon homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Bonnie Doon walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Bonnie Doon 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 Bonnie Doon walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Bonnie Doon homes use standard 1/2” board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where spec matters in Bonnie Doon

Exterior basement walls in Bonnie Doon homes need moisture-resistant board. Bonnie Doon wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. In Bonnie Doon, suite ceilings run 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. The Bonnie Doon suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board.
