Do you do drywall installation in Garneau?

Yes — Garneau is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

Does it matter which way the board runs?

Yes. Running horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones and usually means fewer joints. Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs.

Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

Does Garneau taping follow straight after boarding?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Garneau.

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.

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.

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 Garneau 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 Garneau jobs. We hold Garneau 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.

Handling the sheets without damaging them

Damage happens before it goes up

Board stored on edge, dragged, or left where it can take moisture arrives at the wall already compromised, and a crushed edge or a damp corner never finishes well.

On our sites

Stacked flat and dry, carried rather than dragged, and damaged sheets set aside for offcuts rather than hung in an Garneau room where they will show through the finish.
