Do you stand behind your installation work in Kernohan?

Yes. Before leaving Kernohan, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

Why does the ceiling get boarded first?

So the wall sheets push up underneath and support the ceiling edges. The other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, which is where cracking starts, and it gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line.

Does Kernohan taping follow straight after boarding?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Kernohan.

Can the taping crew start right after you board an Kernohan home?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Kernohan.

Do you board legal suites to spec?

Yes — 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board on suite ceilings and soundproof board on party walls, to the City of Edmonton suite spec.

What board do you use on Kernohan exterior basement walls?

Moisture-resistant board on all Kernohan exterior foundation walls and around plumbing and laundry. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Kernohan home.

Kernohan drywall in context

About Kernohan

Named for an early pioneer farmer who operated a grocery store here in the 1880s and 90s, Kernohan was not annexed until 1961.

What we see in Kernohan

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 Kernohan room where they will show through the finish.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Kernohan 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.
