Does the Falconer Heights board spec follow code requirements?

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

Do you stand behind your new construction drywall in Falconer Heights?

Yes. We walk the finished Falconer Heights job with you before we hand it off for paint, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Do you hang and finish, or just one?

Both, with one crew. The common failure on a Falconer Heights 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.

Will the joints crack as the house settles?

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

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 Falconer Heights?

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

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.

Falconer Heights drywall in context

About Falconer Heights

Falconer, who was involved in the formation of Edmonton's Names Advisory Committee in the mid 1950s and served on the committee until 1979.

What we see in Falconer Heights

In Falconer Heights the drywall work is popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, settling+truss-uplift cracks, nail pops, Poly-B repipe patching repipe patching. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Ceilings first, then walls

Standard for a reason

Ceiling board goes up first so the wall sheets support its edges. Reversing it leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported and produces cracking at the wall junction.

On a new Falconer Heights build

It also lets the crew work overhead while the floor is clear, which is faster and safer than working around stacked wall board.

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 Falconer Heights 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.

Expansion, movement and a new house settling

New builds move

An Falconer Heights house dries out and settles through its first year. Some hairline cracking at joints is normal rather than a defect.

What reduces it

Correct fastener spacing, joints landing on framing, control joints on long runs and not rushing the coats. What eliminates it is nothing — and a builder who promises no settlement cracking is promising something they cannot deliver.

Site protection and cleanup on a new build

Not an empty shell for long

By the time we are boarding, an Falconer Heights build often has windows, some flooring substrate and finished mechanical in place.

What we protect

Floors, window frames, stair treads and any installed fixtures. Drywall debris and compound left to dry on a subfloor is a cost transferred to the flooring trade, and builders remember which crews do that.
