Our Edmonton drywall installation process, 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. The Rosslyn ceiling finishes before any wall boarding starts.

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. Rosslyn corners, inside and outside, come out square and clean. Board never runs past the openings on Rosslyn jobs. 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 Rosslyn?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Rosslyn

The cost of drywall installation in Rosslyn comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaulted areas, bulkheads and soffits take longer), plus whether it is new build or reno around Rosslyn fixtures and trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.
