Do you board legal suites to spec?

Yes — 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board on suite ceilings and soundproof board on party walls, to the City of Edmonton suite spec.

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.

How long does drywall installation take in an Delton home?

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

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

How do you handle texture matching after drywall installation work in Delton?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Delton. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

Delton drywall in context

About Delton

Delton has been part of Edmonton since 1910, a time when land speculators fuelled a tremendous expansion in the supply of vacant subdivisions.

What we see in Delton

In Delton 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.

The number we quote is the number you pay

Priced on site, then fixed

An install price that moves halfway through is the most common complaint we hear about the trade. We quote Delton homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote and the number does not change.

The standard we hang to, across Delton and Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights

Every joint taped to Level 4, every texture matched precisely, and the walls left paint-ready rather than left for the painter to make good. Free on-site quotes, same-day reply, 7 days a week, throughout Delton, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and surrounding communities. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . '.

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 Delton room where they will show through the finish.

Our drywall installation process in Delton in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Delton homes

Every boarding job in Delton starts with the ceiling. In Delton we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Delton order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Delton, 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 Delton

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Delton, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Delton, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Delton, board stops clean at window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Delton home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Delton wall, running board horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones, and it usually means fewer joints overall.

Why it is planned

Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs and where the visible risk sits. Sheets hung wherever they happen to reach is the difference between a wall that finishes easily and one that fights you.
