Do you stand behind your installation work in Mayliewan?

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

Does it matter which way the board runs?

Yes. Running horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones and usually means fewer joints. Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs.

Do you board for legal suites in Mayliewan?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Mayliewan requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in all wet areas. That spec is how Mayliewan suites board and pass inspection.

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.

Why does the ceiling get boarded first?

So the wall sheets push up underneath and support the ceiling edges. The other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, which is where cracking starts, and it gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line.

What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Mayliewan?

Every Mayliewan foundation-facing wall, plus plumbing and laundry, gets moisture-resistant board. Mayliewan interior walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” board. Mayliewan suite spec: Type X 5/8” fire-rated ceiling, soundproof party walls. The correct board per Mayliewan surface is set at the on-site quote.

Drywall installation work we do in Mayliewan in Edmonton

Basement development and new builds

Basement development boarding is a common call — ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall.

Renovation boarding and additions

We also board after walls come down for kitchen open-ups, additions and bathroom relocations in Mayliewan, matching thickness and plane to the adjacent surfaces so there is no visible seam once finished.

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 Mayliewan house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.
