Do you stand behind your installation work in Terra Losa?

Yes. Before leaving Terra Losa, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

Do you hang the ceiling board before the walls?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up first on every Edmonton installation job. Wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints unsupported — they crack sooner and perform worse under tape.

How do you handle texture matching after drywall installation work in Terra Losa?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Terra Losa. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

What board do you use on Terra Losa exterior basement walls?

Moisture-resistant board on all Terra Losa exterior foundation walls and around plumbing and laundry. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Terra Losa home.

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. Honest scheduling in Terra Losa: the quoted timeline is the real one. The taping crew can usually start the next day.

Terra Losa drywall in context

About Terra Losa

Terra Losa is named from Vittorio "Victor" Losa (1905-1987), an Italian-born watchmaker who came to Edmonton in the 1920s.

What we see in Terra Losa

In Terra Losa the drywall work is popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, settling+truss-uplift cracks, nail pops, Poly-B repipe patching repipe patching. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

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 Terra Losa house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

Ceilings first, then walls

The order is not arbitrary

Ceiling board goes up first so the wall sheets push up underneath and support its edges.

What it prevents

Doing it the other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, and in an Terra Losa room that is where the cracking starts. It also gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line, which is the joint people look at most.

Our drywall installation process in Terra Losa in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Terra Losa homes

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

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

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 Terra Losa homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote and the number does not change.
