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

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

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 hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Glenora. In Glenora, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Glenora ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Glenora, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

Do you hang the ceiling board before the walls?

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

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

Glenora drywall in context

About Glenora

Glenora is one of Edmonton's most beautiful and historical neighbourhoods.

What we see in Glenora

In Glenora the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Glenora wall, running board horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones, and it usually means fewer joints overall.

Why it is planned

Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs and where the visible risk sits. Sheets hung wherever they happen to reach is the difference between a wall that finishes easily and one that fights you.

Our drywall installation process in Glenora in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Glenora homes

Every boarding job in Glenora starts with the ceiling. In Glenora we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Glenora order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Glenora, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Glenora

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Glenora, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Glenora, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Glenora, board stops clean at window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Glenora home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

We board the way a finishing specialist wants it boarded

Most boarding crews treat installation as a volume game — get the board up, move on. Every taping problem we have fixed over the years started with a boarding problem underneath it. We board every Edmonton job the way we would want it boarded before we tape it: ceiling first, correct screw pattern, seams on framing, board plumb. The finish is better because the boarding behind it is right.
