About Drywall Installation in West Edmonton

Drywall Installation in West Edmonton — what to expect

We provide drywall installation services in West Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. West Edmonton is one of West Edmonton’s oldest communities, with homes from the 1960s and 1970s. Renovation drywall, stipple and popcorn ceiling removal and crack repair are among the most common drywall calls from this established West Edmonton area.

Fixed price — assessed on site in West Edmonton

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 unless the scope changes and we agree on it first.

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 West Edmonton 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.

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 — Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North, Callingwood South, Cameron Heights, Dechene — 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 — Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North, Callingwood South, Cameron Heights, Dechene — 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.
