Our Edmonton drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always

Every boarding job in Edmonton starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints carrying their own weight unsupported — they perform worse under the tape and are more likely to crack over time. No Delwood wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

Wall boarding — screw pattern, joint placement and board selection

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern: every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All seams land on framing. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Delwood jobs. We hold Delwood board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is complete, every surface is at the right plane, the taping crew can start immediately and there is no rework to do before they begin.

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

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Delwood comes down to the total square footage, the board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof price differently), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades. We measure on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Delwood

The work here usually calls for settling cracks, nail pops and tired texture. The Delwood quote maps each surface to its correct board — no inspection surprises.
