Our Edmonton drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always

Every boarding job in Edmonton starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints carrying their own weight unsupported — they perform worse under the tape and are more likely to crack over time. No North Central Edmonton wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

When the boarding is complete, every surface is at the right plane, the taping crew can start immediately and there is no rework to do before they begin.
