New construction drywall in Ricardo Ranch, boarded and finished right

The drywall makes or breaks a new Ricardo Ranch build — get the boarding square, the tape tight and the finish flat and everything after goes smoothly. In Ricardo Ranch 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. Ricardo Ranch is one of SE Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so new-construction work here is steady. We cover Ricardo Ranch, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of new construction drywall in Ricardo Ranch?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Ricardo Ranch 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 Ricardo Ranch

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 Ricardo Ranch build passes inspection the first time.

Our Ricardo Ranch new construction process, step by step

Board square and to spec

A clean finish in Ricardo Ranch 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. New-build drywall that cracks or telegraphs seams usually had its coats rushed; the Ricardo Ranch schedule allows full drying, plus a light check before paint.

Boarding new builds, additions and suites in Ricardo Ranch

New homes and additions

In Ricardo Ranch 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. Ricardo Ranch projects can also draw on Legal Suite Drywall Calgary and Basement Drywall Calgary.

Common new construction situations in Ricardo Ranch

Ricardo Ranch is a new southeast Calgary community (homes from 2022), built on knockdown-ceiling, orange-peel new construction. The drywall work here is new-build boarding, taping and finishing, basement development as homes complete, and builder-deficiency patch and texture-match on spec homes. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

Do you offer Level 5 finishing for new Ricardo Ranch builds?
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 Ricardo Ranch build.
Do you coordinate with my other trades in Ricardo Ranch?
Yes — we slot into the build schedule and coordinate with framers, electricians and plumbers so the drywall stage keeps your Ricardo Ranch project moving.
Do you stand behind your new construction drywall in Ricardo Ranch?

We just took possession of a new Ricardo Ranch build — do you handle builder-deficiency drywall?
