How do you handle texture matching after drywall installation work in Queen Mary Park?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Queen Mary Park. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Queen Mary Park. In Queen Mary Park, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Queen Mary Park ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Queen Mary Park, 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.

Do you do drywall installation in Queen Mary Park?

Yes — Queen Mary Park is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt and Central.

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.

Does it matter which way the board runs?

Yes. Running horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones and usually means fewer joints. Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs.

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 Queen Mary Park room where they will show through the finish.

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

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Edmonton comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are priced differently), ceiling complexity (flat ceilings vs. vaulted, cathedral, bulkheads and soffits), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Edmonton — right product on every surface

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Moisture-resistant board on all Queen Mary Park bathroom and laundry walls. Legal suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between a suite and the main living area need STC soundproof board. In Queen Mary Park, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board.
