A good Hawks Ridge finish starts with good boarding. In Hawks Ridge the board goes up level, correctly screwed, seams on framing, clean cuts at mechanical and corners.

We cover Hawks Ridge, East Hills, Applewood and Edmonton and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Un-level Hawks Ridge board, mid-field seams or wide screw spacing all make trouble for the finishers. We board every Hawks Ridge 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.

Drywall Installation work we do in Hawks Ridge

Renovation boarding in 1960s and 1970s Hawks Ridge homes

The most common drywall installation call from Hawks Ridge is renovation work. Walls come down for a kitchen open-up, a bathroom move or a structural change, and new board goes up on the exposed framing. Hawks Ridge homes from this era often have original plaster or early drywall that does not match modern board thickness — we assess the framing and select the right board thickness so the surface is consistent.

Bathroom and wet-area boarding in Hawks Ridge — moisture-resistant board

Bathroom renovations in Hawks Ridge homes require moisture-resistant board behind tile and around any plumbing chase. We hang moisture-resistant board properly so the tile substrate is solid and the installation holds for the long term.

Our drywall installation process in Hawks Ridge, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Hawks Ridge homes

Every boarding job in Hawks Ridge starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Hawks Ridge because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Hawks Ridge ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Hawks Ridge walls until the ceiling is done. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Hawks Ridge

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All Hawks Ridge seams land on framing, not between studs. Inside and outside Hawks Ridge corners are clean and square. Hawks Ridge board does not run past window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Hawks Ridge home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Drywall board types used in Hawks Ridge homes

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

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Hawks Ridge 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 Hawks Ridge walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Hawks Ridge homes use standard 1/2” board.

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

Exterior basement walls in Hawks Ridge homes need moisture-resistant board. Hawks Ridge wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. In Hawks Ridge, suite ceilings run 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. The Hawks Ridge suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board. Correct board per Hawks Ridge surface, chosen at the quote, keeps inspection clean.
