Boarding done right means the finish can be done right in Fort Saskatchewan

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Poorly hung Fort Saskatchewan board — not level, seams mid-bay, screws too far — fights the finish. We board every Fort Saskatchewan job the way a taping specialist would want it boarded — because we are the taping specialist. When we finish the boarding, we can finish the taping to Level 4 without fighting the installation underneath.

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

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.

Our Edmonton drywall installation process in Fort Saskatchewan, 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. The Fort Saskatchewan ceiling finishes before any wall boarding starts.

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. Fort Saskatchewan corners, inside and outside, come out square and clean. Board never runs past the openings on Fort Saskatchewan jobs. 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.
