Room addition and partition boarding in Quesnell Heights homes

Quesnell Heights homes from the late 1980s and 1990s are at the age where homeowners are adding partitions, converting rooms and opening up floor plans. New walls go up and existing rooms get reboarded when layouts change. We hang standard 1/2” board on all new partition walls, confirm the framing is square before we start and leave the new walls ready for the taping crew. Board seams land on studs, corners are clean and nothing is proud of the adjacent surface.

Water damage reboarding in Quesnell Heights

Water damage in Quesnell Heights homes from the late 1980s and 1990s is one of the most common boarding calls we get. A bathroom leak, a roof problem or a burst pipe means the affected board comes out and new board goes up on the exposed framing. We assess what needs to come down, remove only what is damaged, re-board to match the existing surface height and leave the wall ready for taping.
