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.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Rideau Park?

Yes. Before leaving Rideau Park, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

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.

Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Rideau Park?

Every Rideau Park foundation-facing wall, plus plumbing and laundry, gets moisture-resistant board. Rideau Park interior walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” board. Rideau Park suite spec: Type X 5/8” fire-rated ceiling, soundproof party walls. The correct board per Rideau Park surface is set at the on-site quote.

Our Edmonton drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always

Every boarding job in Edmonton starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints carrying their own weight unsupported — they perform worse under the tape and are more likely to crack over time. No Rideau Park wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

Wall boarding — screw pattern, joint placement and board selection

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern: every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All seams land on framing. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Rideau Park jobs. We hold Rideau Park board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is complete, every surface is at the right plane, the taping crew can start immediately and there is no rework to do before they begin.

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 Rideau 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 Rideau Park, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board.
