In Hodgson we board new builds, basements and renovations the way a finishing specialist wants it boarded. Hodgson is this established Whitemud community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so the installation work here is usually settling cracks, nail pops and tired texture.

Drywall installation work we do in Hodgson 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 Hodgson, matching thickness and plane to the adjacent surfaces so there is no visible seam once finished.

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

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Hodgson 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.
