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

We install drywall in Sherwood 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. Sherwood is one of NW Calgary’s newest communities. Homes here are primarily from the 2010s and 2020s, with most basements still unfinished and builder-grade finishes ready for upgrading. We cover Sherwood, Sage Hill, Carrington and Nolan Hill and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Sherwood?

Square footage, ceiling height and board type in Sherwood

The cost of drywall installation in Sherwood comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, ceiling height (standard 8-foot vs. higher in newer Sherwood 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 Sherwood

A legal secondary suite installation in Sherwood 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. Ceilings in Sherwood are typically knockdown, and matching that pattern is the part of a repair people notice.

Our drywall installation process in Sherwood

Board selection and layout planning in Sherwood

Before we pull the first sheet, we map the space in your Sherwood 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 Sherwood

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 Sherwood project, the taping crew can start without touching our work. Most of Sherwood went up recently enough that we are usually working against a builder's original finish rather than someone else's repair.

Types of drywall installation work in Sherwood

Basement and suite boarding in Sherwood

The most common boarding call in Sherwood 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 Sherwood

Renovation reboarding in Sherwood 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. Basement development is common in Sherwood, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Drywall installation work we do in Sherwood

New development boarding in Sherwood — basement and flex rooms

Sherwood 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 Sherwood

With strong rental demand, secondary suite boarding calls are among the most consistent installation jobs we do in Sherwood. 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 drywall installation usually involves in Sherwood

Because the homes in Sherwood 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.

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

Builder deficiency work is common in Sherwood — nail pops, corner cracks and seams that only appeared after possession.

What board thickness do you use in Sherwood basement installations?
Standard basement walls in Sherwood get 1/2” drywall. Exterior foundation walls get moisture-resistant board. If the basement includes a legal suite, the ceiling above the suite gets 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. We confirm the spec at the on-site quote — no guessing on board type.
Do you supply the drywall for Sherwood jobs?
Yes — we supply and install. We select the right board type and quantity for the Sherwood job at the on-site assessment. The board cost is included in the fixed price we give you before we start.
Do you do boarding only, or taping as well in Sherwood?
We do both. Many Sherwood homeowners book us for boarding and taping as a complete package. If you have a separate taping crew, we leave the installation ready for them to start the day after boarding is complete — no rework needed.
How do you handle bulkheads and soffits in Sherwood basements?
Bulkheads and soffits are part of every basement boarding job in Sherwood. We wrap all mechanical bulkheads, cut around chases cleanly and frame corners so the taper has a clean surface to work on. Bulkhead and soffit complexity is factored into the fixed price at the on-site quote.
