Do you board for legal suites in Ogilvie Ridge?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Ogilvie Ridge 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 Ogilvie Ridge suites board and pass inspection.

How long does drywall installation take in a Ogilvie Ridge home?

A standard basement in a Ogilvie Ridge home typically takes one to two days to board. New construction or a big reno in Ogilvie Ridge runs a longer schedule. The Ogilvie Ridge timeline you get at the quote is realistic, not optimistic. In Ogilvie Ridge, finishing usually begins the day after boarding wraps.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

How do you handle texture matching after drywall installation work in Ogilvie Ridge?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Ogilvie Ridge. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

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 serve Ogilvie Ridge on weekends?

Drywall board types for Edmonton homes

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

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

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

Exterior basement walls need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Bathroom and laundry walls need moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated. STC soundproof board goes on Ogilvie Ridge suite party walls. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Ogilvie Ridge 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.
