What board do you use on The Orchards At Ellerslie exterior basement walls?

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

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

Is drywall installation in The Orchards At Ellerslie a fixed price?

Yes. We assess the job on site, confirm the scope and give you a fixed price before we start. The number does not change after we begin.

How long does drywall installation take in a The Orchards At Ellerslie home?

A standard basement in a The Orchards At Ellerslie home typically takes one to two days to board. New construction or a big reno in The Orchards At Ellerslie runs a longer schedule. The The Orchards At Ellerslie timeline you get at the quote is realistic, not optimistic. In The Orchards At Ellerslie, finishing usually begins the day after boarding wraps.

Can the taping crew start right after you board an The Orchards At Ellerslie 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 The Orchards At Ellerslie.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an The Orchards At Ellerslie wall, running board horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones, and it usually means fewer joints overall.

Why it is planned

Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs and where the visible risk sits. Sheets hung wherever they happen to reach is the difference between a wall that finishes easily and one that fights you.

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 The Orchards At Ellerslie 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 The Orchards At Ellerslie 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.

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 The Orchards At Ellerslie homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote and the number does not change.

The standard we hang to, across The Orchards At Ellerslie and Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie

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 — Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie — 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 — Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie — 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.
