Our drywall installation process in Holyrood, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Holyrood homes

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

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

Boarding done right means the finish can be done right in Holyrood

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Board in Holyrood that is not level, has seams mid-field or screws too far apart creates problems the taping crew has to fight. We board every Holyrood 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 Holyrood?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Holyrood

The cost of drywall installation in Holyrood 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 Holyrood fixtures and trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Holyrood homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Holyrood home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Moisture-resistant board on all Holyrood bathroom and laundry walls. In Holyrood, suite ceilings take 5/8” Type X fire-rated. An Holyrood suite party wall gains from STC soundproof board. In Holyrood, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board. Each Holyrood 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 Holyrood 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 Holyrood jobs. We hold Holyrood 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.
