Does it matter which way the board runs?

Yes. Running horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones and usually means fewer joints. Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs.

What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Capilano?

Every Capilano foundation-facing wall, plus plumbing and laundry, gets moisture-resistant board. Capilano interior walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” board. Capilano suite spec: Type X 5/8” fire-rated ceiling, soundproof party walls. The correct board per Capilano surface is set at the on-site quote.

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

Can the taping crew start right after you board an Capilano home?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Capilano.

Capilano drywall in context

About Capilano

Bounded by the green spaces of the river valley and Gold Bar Ravine, Capilano features beautifully landscaped 1950s-era homes, tree-lined streets and two attractive parks named for prominent early Edmontonians.

What we see in Capilano

In Capilano the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Handling the sheets without damaging them

Damage happens before it goes up

Board stored on edge, dragged, or left where it can take moisture arrives at the wall already compromised, and a crushed edge or a damp corner never finishes well.

On our sites

Stacked flat and dry, carried rather than dragged, and damaged sheets set aside for offcuts rather than hung in an Capilano room where they will show through the finish.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Capilano house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

We board the way a finishing specialist wants it boarded

Most boarding crews treat installation as a volume game — get the board up, move on. Every taping problem we have fixed over the years started with a boarding problem underneath it.

The finish is better because the boarding behind it is right.
