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 hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Parkview. In Parkview, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Parkview ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Parkview, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

How long does drywall installation take in a Parkview home?

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

Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

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.

Does Parkview taping follow straight after boarding?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Parkview.

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 — Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood — 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 — Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood — 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

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 Parkview room where they will show through the finish.

Drywall board types used in Parkview homes

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

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

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

Exterior basement walls in Parkview homes need moisture-resistant board. In Parkview, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. An Parkview suite ceiling must carry 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Parkview, the suite-to-main party wall takes STC soundproof board. The right board per Parkview surface is set at the quote for a clean inspection.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Parkview in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity
