Our Ormsby Place drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Ormsby Place starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. In Ormsby Place, reversing the order under-supports the joints.

Wall board and seams

Walls go up with correct screws and framed seams. In Ormsby Place, completed boarding hands straight to taping with nothing to fix.

Ceilings first, then walls

The order is not arbitrary

Ceiling board goes up first so the wall sheets push up underneath and support its edges.

What it prevents

Doing it the other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, and in an Ormsby Place room that is where the cracking starts. It also gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line, which is the joint people look at most.

Basement development boarding in Edmonton — new builds and existing homes

The most common boarding call across Edmonton is full basement development. In newer Edmonton communities — Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North — the builder framed the basement and the homeowner is ready to develop it. We board ceiling first, then the walls, with moisture-resistant on every exterior foundation wall. In older Edmonton communities — Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North — the call is often a legal suite conversion with fire-rated and soundproof board to spec.

Renovation boarding and room additions in established Edmonton communities

Established Edmonton homeowners renovating their main floors call us for boarding after walls come down. Kitchen open-ups, room additions, bathroom relocations — all require new board hung to match the adjacent surfaces. We assess the framing, select the right board thickness, hang level and leave the newly boarded walls ready for taping. No visible seam between old and new.

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 Ormsby Place room where they will show through the finish.
