Drywall installation in Pleasantview — right board, right spec, ready to tape

A good Pleasantview finish starts with good boarding. In Pleasantview the board goes up level, correctly screwed, seams on framing, clean cuts at mechanical and corners. Pleasantview is one of Scona’s newest communities — most homes have framed, unfinished basements ready for boarding. We cover Pleasantview, East Hills, Applewood and Edmonton and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Drywall Installation Pleasantview

Our drywall installation process in Pleasantview, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Pleasantview homes

Every boarding job in Pleasantview starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Pleasantview because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Pleasantview ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Pleasantview walls until the ceiling is done. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Pleasantview

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All Pleasantview seams land on framing, not between studs. Inside and outside Pleasantview corners are clean and square. Pleasantview board does not run past window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Pleasantview home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Full basement boarding in Pleasantview homes

The most common boarding call in Pleasantview is full basement installation. The builder framed the space; the homeowner is ready to finish it. We hang the ceiling board first — always — then the walls, with moisture-resistant board on all exterior foundation walls. We use the correct screw pattern, land all seams on framing, and cut around mechanical chases and bulkheads cleanly. When the boarding crew leaves an Pleasantview basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Legal suite partition boarding in Pleasantview

Secondary suite additions in Pleasantview homes require the right board on every surface: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling between the suite and the main floor, STC soundproof board on party walls, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry. We board to the Edmonton secondary suite spec so the installation passes inspection without a callback.
