Do you do new construction drywall in Capitol Hill?

Yes — new construction and additions in Capitol Hill are part of our regular work, and we book to your build schedule. We also cover Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant.

Do you put the right board where code requires it?

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

Can you finish to Level 5 on a new build?

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 Capitol Hill build.

Do you stand behind your new construction drywall in Capitol Hill?

Yes. We walk the finished Capitol Hill job with you before we hand it off for paint, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Is it worth keeping the original plaster in our Capitol Hill character home, or should we just replace it with drywall?

Depends on the damage — small areas are usually cheaper and more true-to-character to repair in place; if a whole wall is failing, replacing with drywall and matching the surrounding texture is often the better long-term call. We'll tell you honestly which applies.

New construction drywall in Capitol Hill, boarded and finished right

New builds and major additions live or die on the drywall — board it square, tape it tight and finish it flat, and the paint and trim fall into place. In Capitol Hill we board, tape, mud and finish new construction to a smooth Level 4 or 5, with fire-rated, moisture-resistant and soundproof board wherever the plan calls for it. Capitol Hill is an older NW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Capitol Hill, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of new construction drywall in Capitol Hill?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Capitol Hill depends on the square footage, the board spec (fire-rated, moisture-resistant and soundproof board cost more than standard), and the finish level — a Level 5 is more skim work than a Level 4. We price off the plans and a site look.

Spec done right in Capitol Hill

We put the right board where the plan and code call for it — fire-rated on garage and suite separations, moisture-resistant in wet areas — so your Capitol Hill build passes inspection the first time.

Our Capitol Hill new construction process, step by step

Board square and to spec

A clean finish in Capitol Hill starts with boarding — we hang square and tight, stagger joints and put the right board type on every surface the plan specifies.

Tape, coat and finish

We tape, apply mud coats with full drying time between each, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5. Rushing the coats is the most common reason new-build drywall cracks or shows seams later; we give it the time it needs and check under light before we hand it off for paint.

Boarding new builds, additions and suites in Capitol Hill

New homes and additions

In Capitol Hill we board and finish complete new homes, additions and infills, coordinating with framers, electricians and plumbers so the drywall stage keeps the build on schedule.

Basements and secondary suites

Basement development and secondary suites are common — we board these with fire-rated and soundproof assemblies to the suite spec. See our legal suite drywall and basement drywall pages.

Common new construction situations in Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill's vintage housing means we carry a wider kit on every truck here than in a newer community — plaster tools alongside standard drywall gear — since we genuinely do not know which one a given wall will need until we open it up. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.
