What affects the cost of drywall installation in Leger?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Leger

The cost of drywall installation in Leger 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 ceilings, bulkheads and soffits add time), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing Leger trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Leger homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Leger home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Leger bathrooms and laundry need moisture-resistant board on all walls. Leger legal-suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated. Leger party walls between a suite and living space benefit from STC soundproof board. Standard 1/2” board is correct for Leger interior walls away from moisture. We specify the right product for each Leger surface at the on-site quote — not after the inspector flags it.
