Do you board for legal suites in Ramsay Heights?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Ramsay Heights requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in all wet areas. That spec is how Ramsay Heights suites board and pass inspection.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Ramsay Heights?

Yes. Before leaving Ramsay Heights, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

How long does drywall installation take in a Ramsay Heights home?

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

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 do you handle texture matching after drywall installation work in Ramsay Heights?

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