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.

Does the Malmo Plains board spec follow code requirements?

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

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 Malmo Plains 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.

Do you do new construction drywall in Malmo Plains?

Yes — new construction and additions in Malmo Plains are part of our regular work, and we book to your build schedule. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

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.

New build drywall in Malmo Plains that does not hold up the trades

The drywall makes or breaks a new Malmo Plains build — get the boarding square, the tape tight and the finish flat and everything after goes smoothly. In Malmo Plains 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. Malmo Plains is one of Scona's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Malmo Plains, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona, 7 days a week.

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 Malmo Plains 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.

Malmo Plains drywall in context

About Malmo Plains

Most of the land within the present neighbourhood was at one time part of the University of Alberta research farm.

What we see in Malmo Plains

In Malmo Plains the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Boarding new builds, additions and suites in Malmo Plains

New homes and additions

In Malmo Plains we board and finish complete new homes, additions and infills, coordinating with framers, electricians and plumbers so the drywall stage keeps the build on schedule.

Basements and secondary suites

Basement development and secondary suites are common — we board these with fire-rated and soundproof assemblies to the suite spec. Malmo Plains projects can also draw on Legal Suite Drywall Edmonton and Basement Drywall Edmonton.

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.

Our Malmo Plains new construction process, step by step

Board square and to spec

A clean finish in Malmo Plains 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 Malmo Plains schedule allows full drying, plus a light check before paint.

Choosing board for each room

Not all one product

A new Malmo Plains 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.

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 Malmo Plains 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.
