Will the joints crack as the house settles?

Some hairline movement in the first year is normal in a new Evergreen house. Correct fastener spacing, joints on framing and unrushed coats reduce it. Anyone promising no settlement cracking is promising what they cannot deliver.

Can you work in an Alberta winter?

Yes, if the building can hold a steady temperature through the taping stage with ventilation to carry moisture off. Compound will not cure in a cold building, and forcing it produces joints that crack once the heat goes on.

Do you hang and finish, or just one?

Both, with one crew. The common failure on a Evergreen 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.

Does the Evergreen board spec follow code requirements?

Yes — Evergreen separations get fire-rated board; wet areas get moisture-resistant. We board your Evergreen project to spec so it passes inspection.

Can you work to our construction schedule?

Yes, and we would rather commit to a sequence than a single date. We tell you what must be complete before we start, roughly how long each stage takes, and what would push it — so if something slips, you know early.

Is Level 5 available on Evergreen new construction?

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 Evergreen build.

Evergreen is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so new-construction work here is steady.

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.

Common new construction situations in Evergreen

In Evergreen, evergreen sits in Edmonton's Horse Hill district. Evergreen is a mobile home park is nested in a beautiful, naturally wooded ravine in north east Edmonton. Across roughly 455 homes here, the drywall work is verify dominant band before writing notes. We cover Evergreen and the surrounding Horse Hill district, 7 days a week. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

Choosing board for each room

Not all one product

A new Evergreen 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.

One crew hanging and finishing

Removing the handoff

The common failure on an Evergreen build is a boarding crew and a taping crew with a gap between them: poor hanging becomes the finisher's problem, and nobody owns it.

What that changes

When the crew that finishes also hangs, the layout decisions are made by the people who will have to hide them. It also removes a scheduling gap where a build typically loses a week.

What has to be complete before we start

The gate list

Framing signed off, mechanical and electrical rough-in inspected, insulation and vapour barrier in and passed, and the building closed in and able to hold temperature.

Why we insist

Boarding over an uninspected rough-in means opening a finished wall. On an Evergreen build that is days lost and a trade relationship damaged, so we would rather hold a start date than take one that is not ready.

Board layout, and why it decides the finish

Fewer joints, better wall

Hanging board to minimise joints — especially butt joints, which have no factory taper — makes the biggest single difference to how a finished Evergreen wall looks.

Sheet length matters

Longer sheets cost slightly more and eliminate joints. On a long hallway or a great room wall that trade is worth making, and it is a decision made at ordering, not at taping.
