Drywall installation work we do in Horse Hill Edmonton

Renovation boarding in 1950s, 1960s and 1970s Horse Hill Edmonton homes

The most common drywall installation call from Horse Hill Edmonton is renovation work on a home built in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Walls come down for a kitchen open-up, a bathroom move or a structural change, and new board goes up on the exposed framing. Horse Hill Edmonton homes from this era often have original plaster or early drywall that does not match modern board thickness — we assess the framing, select the right board thickness and hang it so the surface is consistent with the adjacent walls.

Bathroom and wet-area boarding in Horse Hill Edmonton — moisture-resistant board

Bathroom renovations in Horse Hill Edmonton homes require moisture-resistant board behind tile, on all walls adjacent to showers and tubs, and around any plumbing chase. We hang moisture-resistant board properly — staggered joints, correct screw pattern, no seams in high-exposure corners — so the tile substrate is solid and the installation holds for the long term. Older Horse Hill Edmonton homes often have green board or even drywall behind original tile; when that comes down, we re-board to current standards.
