Do you do new construction drywall in Old Town?

Yes — new construction and additions in Old Town are part of our regular work, and we book to your build schedule. We also cover Airdrie, Bayside, Chinook Gate 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 Old Town 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 Old Town build.

Do you coordinate with my other trades in Old Town?

Yes — we slot into the build schedule and coordinate with framers, electricians and plumbers so the drywall stage keeps your Old Town project moving.

Do you stand behind your new construction drywall in Old Town?

Yes. We walk the finished Old Town 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 better to repair our Old Town plaster walls or replace them with drywall?

It depends on the extent of the damage -- for isolated cracks and holes we repair and refinish the existing plaster; if a wall is failing broadly it's often more cost-effective to replace it with drywall, which we can walk you through on-site.

New Construction Drywall Old Town Airdrie

New construction drywall in Old Town, 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 Old Town 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. Old Town is an older Airdrie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of new construction drywall in Old Town?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Old Town 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 Old Town

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 Old Town build passes inspection the first time.

Our Old Town new construction process, step by step

Board square and to spec

A clean finish in Old Town 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 Old Town

New homes and additions

In Old Town 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 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. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
