Drywall installation work we do across Edmonton

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 — Albany, Athlone, Baranow — 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 — Albany, Athlone, Baranow — 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.

Our drywall installation process in Oxford, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Oxford homes

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

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

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Oxford?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Oxford comes down to the total square footage, the board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof price differently), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades.
