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

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Un-level Wild Rose board, mid-field seams or wide screw spacing all make trouble for the finishers.

When we finish the boarding, we can finish the taping to Level 4 without fighting the installation underneath.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Wild Rose?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Wild Rose

The cost of drywall installation in Wild Rose comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaults, bulkheads, soffits add setup), and new-build or renovation amid the existing Wild Rose trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Wild Rose homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Wild Rose home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Wild Rose wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. The Wild Rose suite ceiling is 5/8” Type X fire-rated. STC soundproof board helps on Wild Rose suite party walls. Standard 1/2” suits Wild Rose interior walls clear of moisture. We choose the Wild Rose board per surface up front, not post-inspection.

Our drywall installation process in Wild Rose, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Wild Rose homes

Every boarding job in Wild Rose starts with the ceiling. The Wild Rose ceiling boards first so the wall board can butt under and support it. In Wild Rose, skipping the sequence leaves joints carrying their own weight — cracks follow. No Wild Rose wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Wild Rose

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. Seams on framing, not between studs — the Wild Rose standard. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Wild Rose jobs. We hold Wild Rose board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is done in an Wild Rose home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.
