What affects the cost of drywall installation 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.

Our drywall installation process in Rhatigan Ridge, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Rhatigan Ridge homes

Every boarding job in Rhatigan Ridge starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Rhatigan Ridge because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Rhatigan Ridge ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Rhatigan Ridge 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 Rhatigan Ridge

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