Can you finish a Wedgewood Heights 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 Wedgewood Heights build.

What finish level should a new home be?

Most rooms are well served by Level 4; great rooms, tall entries and walls with a window running down them justify Level 5. It is a framing-stage decision because deciding late compresses the coats and causes cracking.

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 hang and finish, or just one?

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

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

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

Is Level 5 available on Wedgewood Heights 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 Wedgewood Heights build.

Site protection and cleanup on a new build

Not an empty shell for long

By the time we are boarding, an Wedgewood Heights 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 Wedgewood 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.

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 Wedgewood Heights schedule intact.

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.
