What affects the cost of drywall installation in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Edmonton comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are priced differently), ceiling complexity (flat ceilings vs. vaulted, cathedral, bulkheads and soffits), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Kilkenny drywall in context

About Kilkenny

Kilkenny lies to the City's far north, snuggled up against farms and forest.

What we see in Kilkenny

In Kilkenny the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

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. The Kilkenny ceiling finishes before any wall boarding starts.

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. Kilkenny corners, inside and outside, come out square and clean. Board never runs past the openings on Kilkenny jobs. 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.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Kilkenny?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Kilkenny

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

Board spec for Kilkenny homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in a Kilkenny home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Moisture-resistant board on all Kilkenny bathroom and laundry walls. In Kilkenny, suite ceilings take 5/8” Type X fire-rated. A Kilkenny suite party wall gains from STC soundproof board. In Kilkenny, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board. Each Kilkenny surface gets its product at the quote, before any inspector flags it.
