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 Hazeldean room where they will show through the finish.

Drywall installation work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

Basement development boarding in Edmonton — new builds and existing homes

The most common boarding call across Edmonton is full basement development. In newer Edmonton communities — Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia — the builder framed the basement and the homeowner is ready to develop it. We board ceiling first, then the walls, with moisture-resistant on every exterior foundation wall. In older Edmonton communities — Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia — the call is often a legal suite conversion with fire-rated and soundproof board to spec.

Renovation boarding and room additions in established Edmonton communities

Established Edmonton homeowners renovating their main floors call us for boarding after walls come down. Kitchen open-ups, room additions, bathroom relocations — all require new board hung to match the adjacent surfaces. We assess the framing, select the right board thickness, hang level and leave the newly boarded walls ready for taping. No visible seam between old and new.

Our Hazeldean drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Wall board and seams

Walls go up with correct screws and framed seams. In Hazeldean, completed boarding hands straight to taping with nothing to fix.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Edmonton in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Edmonton comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are priced differently), ceiling complexity (flat ceilings vs. vaulted, cathedral, bulkheads and soffits), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Edmonton — right product on every surface

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Moisture-resistant board on all Hazeldean bathroom and laundry walls. Legal suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between a suite and the main living area need STC soundproof board. In Hazeldean, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board. We map every surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product — so there are no surprises when the inspector comes.

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

Ceiling board first — always — in Hazeldean homes

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

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

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 Hazeldean 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 Hazeldean jobs. We hold Hazeldean 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.
