Do you stand behind your installation work in Carter Crest?

Yes. Before leaving Carter Crest, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Carter Crest. In Carter Crest, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Carter Crest ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Carter Crest, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Carter Crest?

Moisture-resistant board on all Carter Crest exterior foundation walls and around plumbing and laundry. Standard 1/2” board for Carter Crest interior walls away from moisture. For Carter Crest legal suites: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling and soundproof board on party walls. We specify the right product for each Carter Crest surface at the on-site quote.

Do you board for legal suites in Carter Crest?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Carter Crest requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in all wet areas. The Carter Crest suite is boarded to that spec, and inspection follows.

Do you hang the ceiling board before the walls?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up first on every Edmonton installation job. Wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints unsupported — they crack sooner and perform worse under tape.

Our drywall installation process in Carter Crest, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Carter Crest homes

Every boarding job in Carter Crest starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Carter Crest because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Carter Crest ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Carter Crest 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 Carter Crest

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