Ceiling board first — always — in Bulyea Heights homes

Every boarding job in Bulyea Heights starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Bulyea Heights because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it.

It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

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