How do you handle texture matching after drywall installation work in Fraser?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Fraser. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Fraser?

Every Fraser foundation-facing wall, plus plumbing and laundry, gets moisture-resistant board. Fraser interior walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” board. Fraser suite spec: Type X 5/8” fire-rated ceiling, soundproof party walls. The correct board per Fraser surface is set at the on-site quote.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Fraser?

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

Do you board legal suites to spec?

Yes — 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board on suite ceilings and soundproof board on party walls, to the City of Edmonton suite spec.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

Do you board for legal suites in Fraser?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Fraser requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in all wet areas. That spec is how Fraser suites board and pass inspection.

Our Edmonton drywall installation process in Edmonton, 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. No Fraser wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

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. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Fraser jobs. We hold Fraser board to the window and door frames, no overrun. 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.

Drywall installation work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

Basement development boarding in Edmonton — new builds and existing homes

The most common boarding call across Edmonton is full basement development. In newer Edmonton communities — Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont — the builder framed the basement and the homeowner is ready to develop it. We board ceiling first, then the walls, with moisture-resistant on every exterior foundation wall. In older Edmonton communities — Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont — the call is often a legal suite conversion with fire-rated and soundproof board to spec.

Renovation boarding and room additions in established Edmonton communities

Established Edmonton homeowners renovating their main floors call us for boarding after walls come down. Kitchen open-ups, room additions, bathroom relocations — all require new board hung to match the adjacent surfaces. We assess the framing, select the right board thickness, hang level and leave the newly boarded walls ready for taping. No visible seam between old and new.

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

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Fraser comes down to the total square footage, the board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof price differently), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades. We measure on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Fraser

The work here usually calls for settling cracks, nail pops and tired texture. The Fraser quote maps each surface to its correct board — no inspection surprises.

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 Fraser house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.
