Do you board legal suites to spec?

Yes — 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board on suite ceilings and soundproof board on party walls, to the City of Edmonton suite spec.

Can the taping crew start right after you board an Lynnwood home?

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 Lynnwood.

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 Lynnwood home?

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

What board do you use on Lynnwood exterior basement walls?

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

Do you hang the ceiling board before the walls?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up first on every Edmonton installation job. Wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints unsupported — they crack sooner and perform worse under tape.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Lynnwood house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.
