Do you serve Dechene on weekends?

Yes — we cover Dechene and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

Do you board for legal suites in Dechene?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Dechene 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. That spec is how Dechene suites board and pass inspection.

Can the taping crew start right after you board an Dechene 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 Dechene.

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

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

How long does drywall installation take in an Dechene home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Dechene are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

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 Dechene house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.
