Our drywall installation process in Ellerslie Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Ellerslie Edmonton homes

Every boarding job in Ellerslie Edmonton starts with the ceiling. The Ellerslie Edmonton ceiling boards first so the wall board can butt under and support it. In Ellerslie Edmonton, skipping the sequence leaves joints carrying their own weight — cracks follow. No Ellerslie Edmonton wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Ellerslie Edmonton

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. Seams on framing, not between studs — the Ellerslie Edmonton standard. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Ellerslie Edmonton jobs. We hold Ellerslie Edmonton board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is done in an Ellerslie Edmonton home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

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 Ellerslie Edmonton suite party walls. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Ellerslie Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Ellerslie Edmonton

The cost of drywall installation in Ellerslie Edmonton comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaults, bulkheads and soffits add time), and new development vs renovation around the existing Ellerslie Edmonton trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Ellerslie Edmonton homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in a Ellerslie Edmonton home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. In Ellerslie Edmonton, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. A Ellerslie Edmonton suite ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Ellerslie Edmonton, suite-to-living party walls do better with STC soundproof board. For dry Ellerslie Edmonton interior walls, standard 1/2” board is right. In Ellerslie Edmonton, the correct board per surface is set at the quote, not after inspection.

Drywall installation work we do in Ellerslie Edmonton

Renovation boarding in 1950s, 1960s and 1970s Ellerslie Edmonton homes

The most common drywall installation call from Ellerslie Edmonton is renovation work on a home built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Walls come down for a kitchen open-up, a bathroom move or a structural change, and new board goes up on the exposed framing. Ellerslie Edmonton homes from this era often have original plaster or early drywall that does not match modern board thickness — we assess the framing, select the right board thickness and hang it so the surface is consistent with the adjacent walls.

Bathroom and wet-area boarding in Ellerslie Edmonton — moisture-resistant board

Bathroom renovations in Ellerslie Edmonton homes require moisture-resistant board behind tile, on all walls adjacent to showers and tubs, and around any plumbing chase. We hang moisture-resistant board properly — staggered joints, correct screw pattern, no seams in high-exposure corners — so the tile substrate is solid and the installation holds for the long term. Older Ellerslie Edmonton homes often have green board or even drywall behind original tile; when that comes down, we re-board to current standards.
