Legal suites in Granville take 5/8” Type X on the ceiling and soundproof party walls. Each Granville surface gets its board product confirmed at the quote.

We board every Granville 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 Granville?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Granville

The cost of drywall installation in Granville comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaulted areas, bulkheads and soffits take longer), plus whether it is new build or reno around Granville fixtures and trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Granville homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Granville home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Moisture-resistant board on all Granville bathroom and laundry walls. In Granville, suite ceilings take 5/8” Type X fire-rated. An Granville suite party wall gains from STC soundproof board. In Granville, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board. Each Granville surface gets its product at the quote, before any inspector flags it.

Our Edmonton drywall installation process, 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 Granville 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 Granville jobs. We hold Granville 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 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. The Granville suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.

Our drywall installation process in Granville, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Granville homes

Every boarding job in Granville starts with the ceiling. The Granville ceiling boards first so the wall board can butt under and support it. In Granville, skipping the sequence leaves joints carrying their own weight — cracks follow. No Granville wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Granville

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. Seams on framing, not between studs — the Granville standard. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Granville jobs. We hold Granville board to the window and door frames, no overrun.
