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 — Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove — 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 — Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove — 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.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Lee Ridge 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.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Edmonton 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.
