Do you coordinate with my other trades in Keheewin?

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

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.

Is Level 5 available on Keheewin 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 Keheewin build.

Do you do new construction drywall in Keheewin?

Yes — new construction and additions in Keheewin are part of our regular work, and we book to your build schedule. We also cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud.

Will the correct board go where Keheewin code demands it?

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

Can you keep to our construction schedule?

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

New construction drywall in Keheewin, on schedule

New Keheewin builds and major additions live or die on the drywall — boarded square, taped tight, finished flat, and the paint and trim fall into place. In Keheewin 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. Keheewin is an Whitemud community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Keheewin, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

Temperature and humidity on an Keheewin site

Compound needs conditions

Joint compound will not cure properly in a cold building, and forcing it produces joints that shrink and crack after the heat goes on.

What we need

A building that can hold a steady temperature through the taping stage, with ventilation to carry moisture away. In an Alberta winter that means temporary heat planned into the schedule rather than assumed.

Keheewin drywall in context

About Keheewin

One of the City's newest neighbourhoods, development in Keheewin began in the 1990s.

What we see in Keheewin

In Keheewin 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.

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 Keheewin 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.

Our Keheewin new construction process, step by step

Board square and to spec

A clean finish in Keheewin 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. New-build drywall that cracks or telegraphs seams usually had its coats rushed; the Keheewin schedule allows full drying, plus a light check before paint.

Site protection and cleanup on a new build

Not an empty shell for long

By the time we are boarding, an Keheewin 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.

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 Keheewin 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.
