New Construction Drywall Highlands

New construction drywall in Highlands, boarded and finished right

The drywall makes or breaks a new Highlands build — get the boarding square, the tape tight and the finish flat and everything after goes smoothly. In Highlands 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. Highlands 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. We cover Highlands, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and North Central, 7 days a week.

Highlands drywall in context

About Highlands

Our Highlands new construction process, step by step

Board square and to spec

A clean finish in Highlands starts with boarding — we hang square and tight, stagger joints and put the right board type on every surface the plan specifies.

Tape, coat and finish

We tape, apply mud coats with full drying time between each, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5. Rushed coats are the top reason new-build drywall cracks or shows seams later; on Highlands jobs we give each coat its time and check under light before paint hand-off.

Tape, coat and finish

We tape, apply mud coats with full drying time between each, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5. Most later cracking and seam-shadowing on new builds comes from hurried coats — in Highlands we let every coat cure and light-check before handing off for paint.

We tape, apply mud coats with full drying time between each, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5. New-build drywall that cracks or telegraphs seams usually had its coats rushed; the Highlands schedule allows full drying, plus a light check before paint.
