Is drywall installation in Menisa a fixed price?

Yes. We assess the job on site, confirm the scope and give you a fixed price before we start. The number does not change after we begin.

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.

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.

In Menisa, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Menisa home.

Do you serve Menisa on weekends?

Drywall board types used in Menisa homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Menisa walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Menisa homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Menisa walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Menisa homes use standard 1/2” board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where spec matters in Menisa

Exterior basement walls in Menisa homes need moisture-resistant board. In Menisa, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. An Menisa suite ceiling must carry 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Menisa, the suite-to-main party wall takes STC soundproof board. The right board per Menisa surface is set at the quote for a clean inspection.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Menisa in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Menisa comes down to the total square footage, the board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof price differently), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades. We measure on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Our Menisa drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Menisa starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. In Menisa, reversing the order under-supports the joints.

Wall board and seams

Walls go up with correct screws and framed seams. In Menisa, completed boarding hands straight to taping with nothing to fix.

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

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Menisa 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.
