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

How long does drywall installation take in an Lauderdale home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Lauderdale are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

What board do you use on Lauderdale exterior basement walls?

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

Do you stand behind your installation work in Lauderdale?

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

Drywall installation work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

Basement development boarding in Edmonton — new builds and existing homes

The most common boarding call across Edmonton is full basement development. In newer Edmonton communities — Albany, Athlone, Baranow — the builder framed the basement and the homeowner is ready to develop it. We board ceiling first, then the walls, with moisture-resistant on every exterior foundation wall. In older Edmonton communities — Albany, Athlone, Baranow — the call is often a legal suite conversion with fire-rated and soundproof board to spec.

Renovation boarding and room additions in established Edmonton communities

Established Edmonton homeowners renovating their main floors call us for boarding after walls come down. Kitchen open-ups, room additions, bathroom relocations — all require new board hung to match the adjacent surfaces. We assess the framing, select the right board thickness, hang level and leave the newly boarded walls ready for taping. No visible seam between old and new.
