Drywall installation in Cityscape — right board, right spec, ready to tape

We install drywall in Cityscape homes for basement developments, room additions, renovation re-boards and new construction. We select the right board type for every surface, hang it to the correct screw pattern, land all seams on framing and leave the installation ready for the taping crew without rework. Cityscape is one of NE Calgary’s newer communities with homes built from the 2010s onward. New basement developments and builder-grade finish upgrades are the primary drywall calls from this area. We cover Cityscape, Skyview Ranch, Cornerstone and Saddle Ridge and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Cityscape?

Square footage, ceiling height and board type in Cityscape

The cost of drywall installation in Cityscape comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, ceiling height (standard 8-foot vs. higher in newer Cityscape builds), board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are all different costs), and the number and complexity of bulkheads, soffits and mechanical chases. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Legal suite board specification in Cityscape

A legal secondary suite installation in Cityscape requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the suite ceiling, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant board in all wet areas and on exterior walls. We confirm the spec before we start — not after the inspection catches a shortcut. A lot of our Cityscape work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Our drywall installation process in Cityscape

Board selection and layout planning in Cityscape

Before we pull the first sheet, we map the space in your Cityscape home — which surfaces need moisture-resistant board, where fire-rated is required, how the ceiling runs and where the bulkheads land. We select board thickness to match adjacent surfaces in renovation work and confirm the framing is square before we start.

Hanging, edge details and leaving ready to tape in Cityscape

Ceiling board goes up first — always. Then the walls. All seams land on framing or blocking. Outside corners get metal corner bead. Fastener heads are dimpled correctly for the board type. When we leave your Cityscape project, the taping crew can start without touching our work. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Cityscape, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Types of drywall installation work in Cityscape

Basement and suite boarding in Cityscape

The most common boarding call in Cityscape is a full basement installation — ceiling board first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on all exterior foundation walls and wherever the spec requires. We wrap all mechanical bulkheads and cut around chases cleanly. The taper walks into a job-ready space.

Renovation reboarding and room additions in Cityscape

Renovation reboarding in Cityscape homes means pulling the damaged or outdated board, assessing the framing and installing new board to current spec. Room additions and garage conversions follow the same process — we assess the framing first, select the right board and leave the installation ready for taping.

Drywall installation work we do in Cityscape

New development boarding in Cityscape — basement and flex rooms

Cityscape homeowners finishing new development basements call us to do the boarding before the taping crew. We hang ceiling board first, wall board second, with moisture-resistant on exterior foundation walls and any wall adjacent to plumbing rough-in. We cut bulkheads cleanly, use the correct screw pattern throughout and leave the space ready for taping. No rework — the taper can start the day after we finish.

Legal suite boarding to spec in Cityscape

With strong rental demand, secondary suite boarding calls are among the most consistent installation jobs we do in Cityscape. We board to the Calgary spec — 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the suite ceiling, STC soundproof on party walls, moisture-resistant in wet areas — and leave an inspection-ready installation. Fixed price, specified at the on-site quote.

What we tend to find in Cityscape

Because the homes in Cityscape are still new, most of what we find is first-season movement rather than damage — hairline cracks at corners and the odd nail pop as the framing dries out.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.

A lot of the work in Cityscape starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.

What board thickness do you use in Cityscape basement installations?
