Does Meyokumin taping follow straight after boarding?

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 Meyokumin.

Do you board for legal suites in Meyokumin?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Meyokumin 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 Meyokumin 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.

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.

For Meyokumin exterior basement walls, what board do you use?

In Meyokumin, 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 Meyokumin home.

How long does drywall installation take in an Meyokumin home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Meyokumin are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

Wall board and seams

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

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

Our Drywall Installation process in Meyokumin in Edmonton

Assess before we start — always in Meyokumin

Every job in Meyokumin starts with an on-site assessment. We do not guess at scope, board type or texture match. We confirm what is needed, give you a fixed price and only then start the work.

Left clean and paint-ready in Meyokumin

When we leave your Meyokumin home, the work is done properly — Level 4 tape on every joint, texture matched, surface sanded flat and ready for the painter. No rework from the painter. No callbacks.

Handling the sheets without damaging them

Damage happens before it goes up

Board stored on edge, dragged, or left where it can take moisture arrives at the wall already compromised, and a crushed edge or a damp corner never finishes well.

On our sites

Stacked flat and dry, carried rather than dragged, and damaged sheets set aside for offcuts rather than hung in an Meyokumin room where they will show through the finish.
