WHAT IS DRYWALL?

WE ARE READY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

Drywall is a panel made of calcium sulfate dehydrate. It has several names, such as sheetrock, wallboards, or plasterboards. Plasterboards have several advantages when compared to plaster. For instance, did you know that a week-long plaster application job can be done in two days if panels are installed instead of plaster? 



Apart from the speed at which plasterboards can be installed, gypsum boards also have other advantages. These are: 


Are More Economical to Use 

When compared to the time it takes to install plaster and plasterboards, then you get to understand how economical it is. For example, a house that will require seven days to apply plaster can be drywalled in just three days. This means less labor will be needed, and this will significantly reduce the labor cost. 


Easy to Beautify and Decorate 

Unlike plaster, gypsum boards can accommodate several layers of paint and different wall art designs and ideas. Some of the plasterboard designs that can be tried out include paint murals, ancient wall designs, and shelves on wall ideas 


Has Insulation Properties 

Some types of panels, such as those made from fiberglass, have excellent insulation properties that reduce a house or property's overall energy bills. It does this by preventing warm air from escaping from your home and cold air from entering the house. 

Why Hiring a Drywall Contractor Is Right for You?

  • 1. Guaranteed Quality Finishing

    Creating a smooth finish with drywall mud and tape is actually much more challenging than it looks. It requires a skilled hand to prepare clean transitions that eliminate the lines between each sheet of gypsum board as well as the drywall screws used to fasten the boards into place. The smoother the finish in this step creates less sanding of the mud used. If the mud is left on too thick or improperly smoothed out your painting or chosen finishing look - like a textured wall - will not come out with the same effect. These techniques take time to perfect and we recommend you leave it the professionals. 

  • 2. Saving You Time

    Your time is the most valuable thing that you own. If you hire a renovation contractor service the work is no longer done on your time and can be completed while you are working- saving your personal time and costs. We also commonly see those who have started projects take months longer to finish because they didn't realize how much work actually goes into installing new drywall. We've seen clients post-pone summer BBQ's and family gatherings because these projects were incomplete. Let us help you by getting that job done asap!

  • 3. Saving You Money

    We have all the required materials and tools on hand to complete your drywall install with minimal cost to you. Our costs to the client only include paying for the materials used and the labor required to install it. Most people don't account for their time when they are budgeting for a home renovation project. Think about what you earn daily at your job and make sure that you factor that into your renovation costs. Hiring our drywall contractors saves you a lot of unexpected costs because our team already knows and has everything it will need to complete it. 

  • ​4. We Believe in Safety First

    Any type of renovation or home construction job is going to come with a level of risk for possible injury. These potential injuries can arise in various forms all with different repercussions. Knowing how to properly handle certain tools, such as knives and power tools can drastically reduce the chance of injury. If you are working at heights - like replacing a ceiling - knowing how and when to safely secure yourself is crucial. It is all too common for our team to take over half completed installs and repairs because someone was injured and is unable to finish. Don't let that be your family and call us today!

Residential Repair Services

Before you call a contractor to repair your gypsum panels, make sure they have the right drywall repair kits. Otherwise, the job might not be satisfactory. A repair kit is any tool that is necessary for the successful repair of a damaged plasterboard.


Some of the must-have repair kits that we use are: 


A cordless drill: It makes it easy to install plasterboards by automatically loading up new screws. It is also much easier to control torque when dealing with a cordless drill than a corded drill. 


A Drywall knife: This is a specially designed knife created to make it easy for an installer to spread the mud on joints and seams. They are made from either metal and plastic and come in sizes ranging from six to 12 inches. 


A Corner Knife: It makes it easy to apply mud on hard to reach corners 


Mud Pan: A mud pan is a long pan used to store drywall mud during the application process. The pan is advantageous because the installer can move around with it, thereby speeding up the application process. 


Dust Mask:  A dust mask protects the installer from breathing in dangerous fine dust that may cause respiratory problems. 


Pole Sander: A pole sander is a sanding tool that has a long and thin handle. The device is designed to sand hard-to-reach areas such as the ceiling with ease. 

PATCH IT UP!

Hole Repair & Patching Service

Our hole repair and patching services are designed to repair walls that have unsightly nail holes. In some cases, the holes might be due to the door banging too hard on the wall. These types of holes are mainly found in the children's bedroom or the living room. 

There are two ways we fix these types of holes; we can either patch the damaged section or replace the entire panel if the gap is larger than 6 inches wide. 


Fixing Popped Nail Heads 

A popped nail is one that is not adequately held in place by studs. So how do we go about fixing such problems? 


In this case, we will drive drywall screws one and ½ inches above the popped nail into the stud so that the plasterboard is reached. We will then move the popped nails into the board and use a drywall sparkle to cover exposed screw heads. Once the spackle dries out, we will sand and smooth the area. When we are done repairing the damaged nail section, the place will look as good as new. 

Repairing Small Holes

We prefer to use a patch kit when we are dealing with holes smaller than 6 inches wide. We start by placing the patch over the hole, ensuring it is held correctly in place, and then using a drywall knife to apply a spackling compound over the patch.


We prefer to use crisscross patterns while feathering because it gives a much better blend. 

Repairing Medium Holes

We consider medium holes as holes that are at least 6 inches wide. If the gap is 6 inches wide, we cut a piece of plasterboard at least 2 inches wider. We then score the back of the bored 1 inch from all sides, meaning that we will be patching the hole with a 7 inches larger board. However, keep in mind that you require to leave the paper backing intact. Once we cut out the right board size, we then use a drywall saw to cut a square hole on the wall. 

Once the board is of the right size, we apply a joint compound on the cut board and then fit it into the hole. Once in place, we cover the entire patch with a gypsum compound until there are no camouflaged lines. Finally, we add two compound coats, sand, and smoothen the area.

Fixing Large Holes

We decide to take a different approach when fixing holes that are larger than 6 inches wide. We first measure the hole's size and cut a square piece that is slightly larger than the damaged area. We hold the square panel over the damaged area, trace its edges on the wall, and then cut the outlined area with a saw or utility knife. 

Once we cut the area, we install a gypsum board and use a cordless drill to screw it in place. When we are confident that the board's screws are correctly screwed in, we install a joint tape mesh on the patch's borders to strengthen the bond. This reduces movement and the possibility of future cracks occurring. 


Finally, we cover the patch with a joint compound while feathering the edges to create a consistent blend on the wall. 

OUR COMMERCIAL SERVICES

The shape of the frame is dependent on the design of the structure at hand. Some of the common forms used in commercial properties include Angle shapes, Tee shapes, Channels, Z-shapes, and H section shapes. Steel has several advantages over wood frames. 


Some of these advantages are: 

  • It does not rust 
  • Easy to assemble 
  • Moisture and weather resistant  
  • Fire resistant 

Disadvantages of Steel Frames 

Steel does have its disadvantages. It is these disadvantages that result in wood frames been used in some instances: 


Steel has good thermal insulation capabilities, and as a result, most homes made of steel need to have insulation installed to prevent heat from escaping  


Steel has reduced flexibility as it is difficult to cut it in small sizes than wooden frames. If the factory made steel was made using the wrong measurements, rectifying it is not easy. 


Steel frames can not work independently and require supporting structures such as plasterboards, insulation, and sheathing. As a result, this significantly increases the construction time.  

There are some instances where we will prefer wooden frames to steel frames. For example, when a client requests an eco-friendly structure, we automatically prefer wood. It is a natural material and does not release any toxic chemicals to the environment. 


Other advantages of wooden frames are; 

  • Require less energy to convert to timber 
  • Has better insulation properties when compared to steel 
  • Flexible as it is easy to cut to the required size 

Disadvantages of Wood Frames 


When compared to steel frames, timber has several disadvantages. These are; 

  • Are susceptible to rot 
  • Requires soundproofing 
  • Are not moisture resistant 
  • Easily catches fire 

Framing

Framing is a process in which different pieces of either steel or wood are fit together to form a shape or support structure, such as installing windows, doors, and drywall. There are two main types of framing materials: Steel and wood. 

Insulation Services

Commercial buildings have several building codes they have to adhere to for maximum safety. One of these codes is that the building must be insulated. We have a fully equipped insulation department that handles or commercial insulation services for: 

  • Retail clients 
  • Warehouses 
  • Agricultural facilities 
  • Industrial Facilities 



Most business owners ignore the importance of having insulation installed in their business premises. This, however, comes at a great cost because they risk dealing with one or more of the following consequences: 

  • A lawsuit for not adhering to building regulations and codes 
  • Expensive maintenance costs, especially when there is metal pipe corrosion 
  • Poor indoor air quality that may make your workers sick 
  • An increase in respiratory infections due to the growth of mold and fungus 


Spray Foam Insulation 

The most popular commercial insulation service in Coquitlam Bc is spray foam insulation because of its numerous advantages. These are: 

  • It increases comfort at the workplace, especially during winter, as it prevents sudden temperature drops 
  • It increases the air quality by minimizing indoor allergens such as pollen, mold, and mildew 
  • It reduces sound transmission 


There are two types of spray insulation that are used depending on its area of application. For example, the Open Cell Spray form is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, and basements. On the other hand, Closed Cell Spray is ideal for use in exterior wall applications such as filling crawlspaces and cracks on the wall.
