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

Ceiling board first — always — in Greenview homes

Every boarding job in Greenview starts with the ceiling. In Greenview we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Greenview order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Greenview, 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 Greenview

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

Drywall installation work we do in Greenview in Edmonton

Basement development and new builds

Basement development boarding is a common call — ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall.

Renovation boarding and additions

We also board after walls come down for kitchen open-ups, additions and bathroom relocations in Greenview, matching thickness and plane to the adjacent surfaces so there is no visible seam once finished.

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

Drywall board types used in Greenview homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Greenview walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Greenview homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Greenview walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Greenview homes use standard 1/2” board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where spec matters in Greenview

Exterior basement walls in Greenview homes need moisture-resistant board. In Greenview, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. An Greenview suite ceiling must carry 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Greenview, the suite-to-main party wall takes STC soundproof board. The right board per Greenview surface is set at the quote for a clean inspection.
