Drywall installation work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

Basement development boarding in Edmonton — new builds and existing homes

The most common boarding call across Edmonton is full basement development. In newer Edmonton communities — Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano, Cloverdale, Forest Heights, Fulton Place — the builder framed the basement and the homeowner is ready to develop it. We board ceiling first, then the walls, with moisture-resistant on every exterior foundation wall. In older Edmonton communities — Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano, Cloverdale, Forest Heights, Fulton Place — the call is often a legal suite conversion with fire-rated and soundproof board to spec.

Renovation boarding and room additions in established Edmonton communities

Established Edmonton homeowners renovating their main floors call us for boarding after walls come down. Kitchen open-ups, room additions, bathroom relocations — all require new board hung to match the adjacent surfaces. We assess the framing, select the right board thickness, hang level and leave the newly boarded walls ready for taping. No visible seam between old and new.

Our drywall installation process in Southeast Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Southeast Edmonton homes

Every boarding job in Southeast Edmonton starts with the ceiling. In Southeast Edmonton we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Southeast Edmonton order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Southeast Edmonton, 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 Southeast Edmonton

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

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Southeast Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

We measure on site and give a fixed price before we start.
