Full basement boarding in Eaux Claires homes

We use the correct screw pattern, land all seams on framing, and cut around mechanical chases and bulkheads cleanly. When the boarding crew leaves an Eaux Claires basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Boarding to a premium standard in Eaux Claires

Eaux Claires homeowners expect the boarding to match the quality of the rest of the home.
