Can the taping crew start right after you board an Newton 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 Newton.

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.

What board do you use on Newton exterior basement walls?

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

Do you serve Newton on weekends?

Yes — we cover Newton and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

How long does drywall installation take in a Edmonton home?

Our drywall installation process in Newton in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Newton homes

Every boarding job in Newton starts with the ceiling. In Newton we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Newton order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Newton, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Newton

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Newton, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Newton, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Newton, board stops clean at window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Newton home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Newton drywall in context

About Newton

Newton for Reverend William Newton, (who arrived in Edmonton in 1875), Newton's development has been spread out over several decades.

What we see in Newton

In Newton the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

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 Newton room where they will show through the finish.

Our Drywall Installation process in Newton in Edmonton

Assess before we start — always in Newton

Every job in Newton 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 Newton

When we leave your Newton 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.

The number we quote is the number you pay

Priced on site, then fixed

An install price that moves halfway through is the most common complaint we hear about the trade. We quote Newton homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote and the number does not change.

The standard we hang to, across Newton and Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights

Every joint taped to Level 4, every texture matched precisely, and the walls left paint-ready rather than left for the painter to make good.

Drywall board types used in Newton homes

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

It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Newton walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Newton homes use standard 1/2” board.

Exterior basement walls in Newton homes need moisture-resistant board. In Newton, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. An Newton suite ceiling must carry 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Newton, the suite-to-main party wall takes STC soundproof board.
