Will the correct board go where Allard code demands it?

Yes — Type X where Allard garages and suites meet the house, moisture-resistant board in wet zones. We board your Allard project to spec so it passes inspection.

When in the build should drywall start?

After framing, mechanical rough-in and insulation have passed inspection, and after the building is closed in and can hold a stable temperature. Boarding before those are signed off risks covering something an inspector needs to see.

Do you coordinate with my other trades in Allard?

Yes — we slot into the build schedule and coordinate with framers, electricians and plumbers so the drywall stage keeps your Allard project moving.

Do you offer Level 5 finishing for new Allard builds?

Yes — we finish new construction to a flat Level 4 or, where the paint spec calls for it, a full Level 5 skim on feature areas in your Allard build.

Do you hang and finish, or just one?

Both, with one crew. The common failure on a Allard build is a handoff between a boarding crew and a taping crew, where poor hanging becomes the finisher problem and nobody owns it. One crew removes that argument.

Boarding and finishing a new Allard build with one crew

On a Allard new build the drywall sets everything: square boarding, tight taping and a flat finish let paint and trim land right. In Allard we board, tape, mud and finish new construction to a smooth Level 4 or 5, with fire-rated, moisture-resistant and soundproof board wherever the plan calls for it. Allard is an Southwest community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne, Blackmud Creek and Southwest, 7 days a week.

Handing over to the painter

What paint-ready actually means

Sanded, dust removed, edges cut clean, and any defect the painter would otherwise find dealt with first.

The walkthrough

We would rather walk an Allard house with the painter before they start than receive a list afterwards. Most disputes between the two trades are about surfaces neither inspected together, and ten minutes at handover prevents them.

Common new construction situations in Allard

In Allard, allard sits in Edmonton's Southwest district. Across roughly 1,090 homes here, the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We cover Allard and the surrounding Southwest district, 7 days a week. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

Punch list and callbacks

Expect some

On a house-sized job there will be a short list after the trades that follow us bang, drill and load things in.

How we handle it

One consolidated visit once the other trades are clear, rather than repeated trips that get in everyone's way. We would rather come once at the right time than five times at the wrong ones.

Corner bead and the edges people notice

Where a house looks built or thrown up

Outside corners take the abuse and are what the eye follows. Metal, paper-faced or vinyl bead each behave differently, and the choice matters more in a house with children or pets.

Archways and bullnose

Curved and bullnose corners are slower and are priced accordingly. Deciding on them at framing rather than at taping keeps the Allard schedule intact.

Sequencing around the other trades

You are in the middle

Drywall sits after mechanical and insulation, before flooring, trim, cabinets and paint. Everything behind you is waiting for you to finish.

How we commit

We quote a sequence with durations rather than one date, tell you what must be complete before we start, and flag early if something slips. That is more useful to a builder than a confident single date that moves twice.

Choosing board for each room

Not all one product

A new Allard home typically needs standard board through most rooms, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry, Type X in the garage assembly and any rated separation, and sometimes acoustic assemblies in bedrooms or a theatre.

Ordered by room

Getting that mix right at ordering avoids the substitution that happens when the wrong board is what is on site.
