Our drywall installation process in Canon Ridge, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Canon Ridge homes

Every boarding job in Canon Ridge starts with the ceiling. In Canon Ridge we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Canon Ridge order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Canon Ridge, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Canon Ridge

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Canon Ridge, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Canon Ridge, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Canon Ridge, board stops clean at window and door frames.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Canon Ridge?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Canon Ridge

The cost of drywall installation in Canon Ridge 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 areas, bulkheads and soffits take longer), plus whether it is new build or reno around Canon Ridge fixtures and trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Canon Ridge homes — right product on every surface

Our Edmonton drywall installation process, 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 Canon Ridge 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 Canon Ridge jobs. We hold Canon Ridge 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.

Drywall board types for Edmonton homes

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

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install and finishes the same as the rest of the house. Most interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where the spec matters

Exterior basement walls need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Bathroom and laundry walls need moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated. The Canon Ridge suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.
