We’re experts in all things drywall! Thanks to all our years of experience, we can safely say we can cater to all of your drywall-related needs. Some drywall installation companies specialize in one thing or two, such as hanging drywall on a ceiling or putting up drywall in a basement. However, we made sure to cover all possible areas so you can do everything under a single project.


Here's an overview of all the drywall installation services we currently offer to Edmontonians:


Gypsum Board Installation


Do you know what is drywall is made of? Did you know that gypsum boards have excellent fire-resistant capabilities? While you don’t necessarily need fire-resistant drywall panels, they could certainly come in handy in cases of emergency. Most of the time, it’s much better to invest a bit more money in your sheetrock installation project and ensure your home’s safety for years to come than save money on poor installations that could wear down shortly.


We’re experts handling gypsum boards, so if you’re interested, we could add this service to your drywall installation quote.


Bathroom Drywall Installation


Drywall for bathrooms require extra care when it comes to choosing the correct materials and installation methods. Overall, installing drywall in a bathroom also includes checking for harmful agents first, such as asbestos, mold, pests, or others. Considering bathrooms are prone to humidity and water damage, you must ensure you’re installing the right panels.


Whether you want to install a drywall ceiling or a drywall textured wall, you can trust us to deliver efficient and fast results.


Basement and Garage Drywall Installation


Many homeowners in Edmonton don’t realize how much they can customize their basement until they talk to a professional. Installing drywall in a basement is one of the best ways to get creative with your ideas.


You can turn your basement into a movie theatre or a game room and if you have a loud teenager living in your basement you might want to consider soundproofing the space. With soundproof drywall you can make your home more tranquil and functional. On the other hand, installing drywall in your garage could help you optimize your space, avoid harmful agents, and overall keep your garage’s structure in good shape.


If you don’t take care of insulation or framing with an expert before you install a sheetrock ceiling or wall in your basement, you could experience several problems with humidity, which in turn could attract mold and pests.


Dealing with all of those problems yourself can get overwhelming, especially if you have a considerably big basement/garage. Get ahead of those problems by hiring a professional to install your ceiling with drywall.


Drywall Mudding/Taping/Finishing


The process for installing drywall involves much more than just hanging it. If you want to ensure your home is as strong as ever with your drywall partition installation, you must ensure you’re doing proper mudding, taping, and finishing.


All of these processes involve getting the right drywall compound for your home and securing the joints and structure together efficiently. Keep in mind that the slightest mistake could lead to cracks, poor joints, holes, and more. While some of these problems are merely aesthetic, others could open the door for more severe problems in the future.

Drywall Installation FAQs

  • Which Way Do You Install Drywall, Horizontal Or Vertical?

    In commercial spaces, you generally install drywall vertically because fire codes require the seams to go for the full length of the framing. However, sheetrock for residential jobs can be hung horizontally. It all depends on your preferences.


    Though you’ll likely see DIY tutorials for hanging drywall, it’s best to hire a professional because it’s a complicated process. Many experts use the vertical styling because it’s easy to do and looks professional in homes and businesses. However, some may use horizontal hanging methods when there are things behind the walls, or it’s otherwise difficult to install vertically.


    Vertical and horizontal hangings aren’t the only thing to consider. Drywall is tricky to install correctly, and those who DIY often find that it looks sloppy and uneven. Likewise, it might fall off sooner.

  • When Installing Drywall Do You Install Ceiling Or Walls First?

    Most tutorials you find online say that it doesn’t matter where you install the drywall first, but it does. In most cases, you want to hang it on the ceiling initially because that’s the hardest. Then, you can move it around on the walls before the mud dries to ensure that you have no gaps between what’s on the ceiling and the walls.


    Clearly, hanging drywall isn’t an easy task; it’s generally better to hire a professional to do the work for you. They have appropriate tools to make the job easier. For example, they’ll have a drywall jack, which keeps it level while it’s drying to avoid problems later. Likewise, they know where and how to tape the seams and ensure that things are smooth and ready for paint or wallpaper, depending on your needs.

  • Can I Install Drywall In A Bathroom Or Other High-Moisture Areas?

    It is possible to install drywall in high-moisture areas, such as the bathroom. Typically, professionals recommend using paperless drywall because it has fiberglass within. Likewise, there is moisture-resistant drywall, which is ideal for laundry rooms, basements, and bathrooms. However, it won’t work in wet areas, such as a tiled shower.


    Many homeowners want to skip mold-resistant sheetrock because it’s more expensive. However, if you have high humidity often or spring a leak somewhere in the bathroom, the added cost will likely be worth it to you. Overall, this is why so many professionals recommend it. Still, most building codes don’t require it, so it’s up to you to decide what you want.

  • Are There Any Health Hazards Associated With Drywall Installation?

    The primary health risks associated with installing drywall are fall injuries and respiratory distress. Because drywall contractors work on ladders with powerful tools and heavy equipment, there is the risk of injury from over-exertion. 


    Expert installers are trained in the correct ways to handle materials to avoid cuts, abrasions, lifting industries, and falls- and use the necessary protective gear to avoid breathing in too must dust and chemicals.


    When working on someone’s property, a trained and trusted team should take all necessary steps to limit the risk to themselves and others- and must be careful not to over-exert themselves and work when tired or unfocused.

  • What Are The Signs Of Poor Drywall Installation?

    It is important to know the tell-tale signs of a sub-par drywall installation job. There are some clear issues that are never acceptable for a high-quality contractor.


    • Visible joints, nails, and screws: Even with low-level finishes, you should not be able to see where two drywall sheets meet. It can happen if sheets are spaced incorrectly, or there are bubbles of air beneath the tape. Nails and screws should also not be visible. One or two can happen sometimes- but this is an easy fix. If they are all over, it means they are getting pushed out- a clear sign of poor installation.
    • Uneven or wavy corners: The corners of your drywall should be smooth, straight, and even. Issues with tape application and crooked fitting can leave corners looking bubbled, creased, or indented.
    • Rough or dirty surfaces: With lower-level finishes, slight bumps and grooves are normal- but they should not be present at level three or higher. A professional contractor should also ensure surfaces are cleaned and free of dust and debris- otherwise, it could interfere with the appearance once painted.

    Other issues include crooked drywall, sagging ceilings, and cracks- although cracks can appear for other reasons.

  • Can I Install Drywall In A Basement?

    Yes, you can. Drywall is excellent in basements- offering more versatility, livability, and durability. You can use it to completely change the floor plan, make the space feel more inviting and look nicer, or add a level of waterproofing, soundproofing, and fireproofing.


    If you need help planning your basement drywall layout or need inspiration for where to begin, a professional contractor can offer advice and assistance.

  • How Do I Find A Reliable Drywall Installation Contractor?

    The best way to find a reliable drywall installation contractor is to look for reviews and references. You can learn a lot by looking at what previous clients have to say, but be sure to search on trusted websites that verify their comments.


    Researching a contractor’s partners can also give you a better idea of their reputation and ethics, and a good drywaller will happily share their qualifications and licenses upon request.
