Drywall boarding in Old Town, hung straight and square

On Old Town jobs the finish is only as good as the hang: straight, square, tight sheets, staggered joints, correct board per surface. In Old Town we board new builds, additions, basements and renos as a standalone stage, ready for your taper or for us to finish. Old Town is an older Airdrie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so boarding work here is steady. We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of drywall boarding in Old Town?

Area, board spec and access

The cost of boarding in Old Town tracks the square footage, the board spec (fire-rated, moisture-resistant and soundproof board cost more than standard), and access — high ceilings and tight stairwells take more time. We price off the framing and a site look.

The right board in Old Town

We put the correct board on every surface — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations — so your Old Town project meets code before the tape goes on. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Our Old Town drywall boarding process, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Old Town is done in the right order — ceilings first so the wall sheets support the ceiling edges — with sheets hung tight to the framing and joints staggered so they do not line up and crack.

Square, tight and tape-ready

We cut clean around boxes and openings, keep gaps minimal for the taper, and check the board is flat and fastened properly before we leave. Well-hung board speeds the Old Town taping stage and flattens the final wall.

Boarding new builds, basements and renos in Old Town

New construction and additions

In Old Town we board complete new builds and additions, coordinating with the trades so the project keeps moving.

Basements and renovations

Basement development and reno boarding are common here. The new Old Town layout gets boarded to spec, square and tape-ready. For Old Town basements and new builds, see Basement Drywall Calgary and New Construction Drywall Calgary. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Common drywall boarding situations in Old Town

In Old Town, old Town Airdrie has some of the city's oldest housing stock, so we regularly work on plaster repair, settling cracks that have built up over many years, and drywall retrofits where a renovation replaces old lath-and-plaster walls with modern board. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
