Drywall installation work we do in Ogilvie Ridge

New development boarding in Ogilvie Ridge — basement and flex rooms

Ogilvie Ridge homeowners finishing new development basements call us to do the boarding before the taping crew. We hang ceiling board first, wall board second, with moisture-resistant on exterior foundation walls and any wall adjacent to plumbing rough-in. We cut bulkheads cleanly, use the correct screw pattern throughout and leave the space ready for taping. No re-work — the taper can start the day after we finish.

Fixed price, specified at the on-site quote.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Ogilvie Ridge?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Ogilvie Ridge

The cost of drywall installation in Ogilvie Ridge comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaulted ceilings, bulkheads and soffits add time), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing Ogilvie Ridge trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Standard 1/2” board is correct for Ogilvie Ridge interior walls away from moisture. We specify the right product for each Ogilvie Ridge surface at the on-site quote — not after the inspector flags it.
