How long does drywall installation take in a Edmonton home?

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

Do you do drywall installation in Evergreen?

Yes — Evergreen is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Rural North East Horse Hill, Rural North East South Sturgeon and Horse Hill.

Do you serve Evergreen on weekends?

Yes — we cover Evergreen and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Evergreen?

Yes. Before leaving Evergreen, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

Why does the ceiling get boarded first?

So the wall sheets push up underneath and support the ceiling edges. The other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, which is where cracking starts, and it gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Evergreen house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

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

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Edmonton comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are priced differently), ceiling complexity (flat ceilings vs. vaulted, cathedral, bulkheads and soffits), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Edmonton — right product on every surface

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Moisture-resistant board on all Evergreen bathroom and laundry walls. Legal suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated board.

We map every surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product — so there are no surprises when the inspector comes.
