How long does drywall installation take in an Sherwood home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Sherwood are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

Can the taping crew start right after you board an Sherwood home?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Sherwood.

What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Sherwood?

Moisture-resistant board covers the Sherwood foundation walls and the plumbing and laundry zones. Standard 1/2” board on dry Sherwood interior walls. The Sherwood suite build: fire-rated 5/8” Type X ceiling, soundproofed party walls. We lock the Sherwood board spec per surface at quote time.

Do you board for legal suites in Sherwood?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Sherwood 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. Boarding to spec is why Sherwood suite installs clear inspection.

How long does drywall installation take in a Edmonton home?

A standard open basement in a Edmonton new build typically takes one to two days to board. A full renovation or larger new build takes longer depending on scope. At the Sherwood quote you get the true install timeline. The taping crew can usually start the next day.

Drywall board types used in Sherwood homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Sherwood walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Sherwood homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Sherwood walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Sherwood homes use standard 1/2” board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where spec matters in Sherwood

Exterior basement walls in Sherwood homes need moisture-resistant board. Sherwood wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. In Sherwood, suite ceilings run 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. The Sherwood suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board. Correct board per Sherwood surface, chosen at the quote, keeps inspection clean.

Drywall installation work we do in Sherwood

Full basement boarding in Sherwood homes

The most common boarding call in Sherwood is full basement installation. The builder framed the space; the homeowner is ready to finish it. We hang the ceiling board first — always — then the walls, with moisture-resistant board on all exterior foundation walls. We use the correct screw pattern, land all seams on framing, and cut around mechanical chases and bulkheads cleanly. When the boarding crew leaves an Sherwood basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Legal suite partition boarding in Sherwood

Secondary suite additions in Sherwood homes require the right board on every surface: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling between the suite and the main floor, STC soundproof board on party walls, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry. We board to the Edmonton secondary suite spec so the installation passes inspection without a callback.

We board every Edmonton job the way we would want it boarded before we tape it: ceiling first, correct screw pattern, seams on framing, board plumb. The finish is better because the boarding behind it is right.
