Do you serve Kirkness on weekends?

Yes — we cover Kirkness and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

Does Kirkness 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 Kirkness.

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.

How long does drywall installation take in a Kirkness home?

A standard basement in a Kirkness home typically takes one to two days to board. New construction or a big reno in Kirkness runs a longer schedule. The Kirkness timeline you get at the quote is realistic, not optimistic. In Kirkness, finishing usually begins the day after boarding wraps.

Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

What board do you use on Kirkness exterior basement walls?

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