Drywall Installation Dovercourt Edmonton | Board & Tape

Drywall installation in Dovercourt, hung straight and screwed off right

Good drywall installation is what makes a good Dovercourt finish possible — seams on framing, the right screw pattern, board plumb before a single coat of mud goes on. In Dovercourt we board new builds, basements and renovations the way a finishing specialist wants it boarded. Dovercourt is an older Central community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so the installation work here is usually settling cracks, aging stipple and the odd plaster repair. We cover Dovercourt, Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Downtown and Central, 7 days a week.

Drywall board types for Edmonton homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Edmonton walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install and finishes the same as the rest of the house. Most interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where the spec matters

Exterior basement walls need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Bathroom and laundry walls need moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated. STC soundproof board goes on Dovercourt suite party walls. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.

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 Dovercourt room where they will show through the finish.
