Drywall installation work we do in Silver Berry in Edmonton

Basement development and new builds

Basement development boarding is a common call — ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall.

Renovation boarding and additions

We also board after walls come down for kitchen open-ups, additions and bathroom relocations in Silver Berry, matching thickness and plane to the adjacent surfaces so there is no visible seam once finished.

The number we quote is the number you pay

Priced on site, then fixed

An install price that moves halfway through is the most common complaint we hear about the trade. We quote Silver Berry homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote and the number does not change.

Our Silver Berry drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Silver Berry starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. In Silver Berry, reversing the order under-supports the joints.

Wall board and seams

Walls go up with correct screws and framed seams. In Silver Berry, completed boarding hands straight to taping with nothing to fix.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Silver Berry house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

Our drywall installation process in Silver Berry in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Silver Berry homes

Every boarding job in Silver Berry starts with the ceiling. In Silver Berry we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Silver Berry order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Silver Berry, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Silver Berry

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Silver Berry, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Silver Berry, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Silver Berry, board stops clean at window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Silver Berry home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Drywall board types for Silver Berry homes

Standard board for most walls

Standard 1/2-inch drywall is correct for most interior walls and ceilings in Silver Berry away from moisture exposure.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof where the spec matters

Exterior basement walls and wet areas need moisture-resistant board; legal suite ceilings need fire-rated board; party walls need soundproof board. We specify the right product for every Silver Berry surface before we pull the first sheet.
