Comparison

Boarding vs framing vs finishing.

Framing

Framing is the structural step before drywall: wood or steel studs, top and bottom plates, blocking, and rough openings. Drywall installation does not include framing unless agreed in scope.

Boarding (installation)

Boarding is fastening the drywall panels to the framing. This is the step we describe on this page. Boarding ends when the panels are up and the screws are set.

Taping and finishing

After boarding, taping, mudding, and finishing make the wall flat and paint-ready. See our taping and mudding and drywall finishing pages for that scope.

FAQ

Drywall Installation, answered.

Common questions about drywall installation for Richmond Hill, Toronto, and GTA projects.

Either works. On most residential and commercial projects we supply the drywall, fasteners, corner bead, and accessories as part of the quote. On larger commercial projects we will work with material supplied by the GC. We confirm before mobilizing.
Self-drilling drywall screws driven flush with the paper, not over-driven. We follow the manufacturer's fastener spacing for the panel type and assembly rating, with extra fasteners around outlet boxes and corners.
1/2 inch (12.7 mm) is standard for residential walls and ceilings. 5/8 inch Type X is standard for fire-rated assemblies and most commercial work. Moisture-resistant and abuse-resistant board in specific areas to spec.
Yes. If your basement is framed and ready for board, we can come in for the boarding scope, taping, and finishing. We confirm framing is square, plumb, and to drywall standards before we start boarding.
We cut precise openings around outlets, switches, lights, plumbing stubs, and HVAC registers. On fire-rated assemblies, penetrations receive proper firestopping in coordination with the GC and the inspector.
