Do you do drywall installation in Jackson Heights?

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

In Jackson Heights, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Away from moisture, Jackson Heights interior walls get standard 1/2” board. Legal suites in Jackson Heights take 5/8” Type X on the ceiling and soundproof party walls. Each Jackson Heights surface gets its board product confirmed at the quote.

What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Jackson Heights?

Jackson Heights suite spec: Type X 5/8” fire-rated ceiling, soundproof party walls. The correct board per Jackson Heights surface is set at the on-site quote.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Jackson Heights. In Jackson Heights, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Jackson Heights ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Jackson Heights, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

Does it matter which way the board runs?

Yes. Running horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones and usually means fewer joints. Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs.
