Do you board for legal suites in Oleskiw?

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

Why does the ceiling get boarded first?

So the wall sheets push up underneath and support the ceiling edges. The other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, which is where cracking starts, and it gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Oleskiw?

Yes. Before leaving Oleskiw, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

In Oleskiw, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Away from moisture, Oleskiw interior walls get standard 1/2” board. Legal suites in Oleskiw take 5/8” Type X on the ceiling and soundproof party walls. Each Oleskiw surface gets its board product confirmed at the quote.

Basement development and new builds

Basement development boarding is a common call — ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall.

Renovation boarding and additions

We also board after walls come down for kitchen open-ups, additions and bathroom relocations in Oleskiw, matching thickness and plane to the adjacent surfaces so there is no visible seam once finished.

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 Oleskiw room where they will show through the finish.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Oleskiw house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

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

Ceiling board first — always — in Oleskiw homes

Every boarding job in Oleskiw starts with the ceiling. In Oleskiw we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Oleskiw order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Oleskiw, 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 Oleskiw

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