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.

Do you install the right board where code requires it in Rundle Heights?

Yes — fire-rated board on Rundle Heights garage and suite separations, moisture-resistant in wet areas. We board your Rundle Heights project to spec so it passes inspection.

Do you hang and finish, or just one?

Both, with one crew. The common failure on a Rundle 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.

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.

What finish level should a new Rundle Heights 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.

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.

New construction drywall in Rundle Heights, on schedule

The drywall makes or breaks a new Rundle Heights build — get the boarding square, the tape tight and the finish flat and everything after goes smoothly. In Rundle Heights 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. Rundle Heights is this established North Central community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Rundle Heights, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and North Central, 7 days a week.

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 Rundle Heights 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.

Rundle Heights drywall in context

About Rundle Heights

While Rundle Heights was first settled in the 1880s and was annexed to the City in 1961, most development did not occur until the 1970s.

What we see in Rundle Heights

In Rundle Heights 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.

Our Rundle Heights new construction process, step by step

Board square and to spec

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

Choosing board for each room

Not all one product

A new Rundle Heights 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.

Screw patterns and what an inspector checks

Spacing is specified

Fastener spacing on ceilings and walls is set by the assembly, and it is checked. Under-screwing shows up later as nail pops and cracked joints.

Depth matters too

A screw driven through the paper face has lost its grip and becomes a defect. Set correctly it dimples the surface without breaking it. It is unglamorous and it is most of what a good hanging crew is being paid for.

Boarding new builds, additions and suites in Rundle Heights

New homes and additions

In Rundle Heights 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. Rundle Heights projects can also draw on Legal Suite Drywall Edmonton and Basement Drywall Edmonton.

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 Rundle 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.
