Do you do new construction drywall in Leger?

Yes — new construction and additions in Leger 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 Leger code demands it?

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

Can you finish a Leger new build to Level 5?

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 Leger build.

What finish level should a new Leger home be?

Most living areas are well served by a standard finish; large walls with raking window light and feature areas justify going higher. We will tell you which walls in your plan actually justify the upgrade rather than pricing the whole house at the top level.

Is Level 5 available on Leger 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 Leger build.

Do you stand behind your new construction drywall in Leger?

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

New Construction Drywall Leger Edmonton | New Build Taping

New construction drywall in Leger, on schedule

The drywall makes or breaks a new Leger build — get the boarding square, the tape tight and the finish flat and everything after goes smoothly. In Leger 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. Leger is this established Whitemud community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Leger, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week.

One crew hanging and finishing

Removing the handoff

The common failure on an Leger 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.

Leger drywall in context

About Leger

The Leger neighbourhood was named after a long serving Edmonton politician, Edmund Hugh Leger, who was first elected to City Council in 1959 and went on to serve as an alderman for 25 years.

What we see in Leger

In Leger the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

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 Leger schedule intact.

Level of finish, room by room

Match it to the light

Most Leger rooms are well served by Level 4. Great rooms, tall entries and any wall with a window running down it justify Level 5.

Deciding at the right time

This is a framing-stage decision, not a taping-stage one, because it changes the schedule. Deciding late compresses the coats at exactly the point where compression causes cracks.

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.

Site protection and cleanup on a new build

Not an empty shell for long

By the time we are boarding, an Leger 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.

Choosing board for each room

Not all one product

A new Leger 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.
