What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Cy Becker?

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

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.

Why does the ceiling get boarded first?

So the wall sheets push up underneath and support the ceiling edges. The other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, which is where cracking starts, and it gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Cy Becker?

Yes. Before leaving Cy Becker, 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 Cy Becker. In Cy Becker, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Cy Becker ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Cy Becker, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

Does Cy Becker taping follow straight after boarding?

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 Cy Becker.

Our drywall installation process in Cy Becker in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Cy Becker homes

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Edmonton in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Edmonton comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are priced differently), ceiling complexity (flat ceilings vs. vaulted, cathedral, bulkheads and soffits), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Edmonton — right product on every surface

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Moisture-resistant board on all Cy Becker bathroom and laundry walls. Legal suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated board.
