New construction drywall in Old Town, boarded and finished right

An Old Town addition or new build succeeds at the drywall stage: square board, tight tape, flat finish — then paint and trim just work. 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. Some Old Town homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

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. In Old Town we never rush the coats — the classic cause of cracked or seam-showing new-build drywall — and we verify under light before the painters arrive. Some Old Town homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

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. For adjacent Old Town needs, see Legal Suite Drywall Calgary and Basement Drywall Calgary.

Common new construction 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. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
