Calgary Drywall Experts are here for all your drywall installation needs. Installing drywall can be difficult because it’s more than just putting full sheets of drywall on a wall.

Ceilings, you don’t really notice them and almost forget that there up there until one day you look up and see  that faint yellow colour or that flaw in it, suddenly its in front of you every time you walk in the room.

Ceilings are almost always textured. The reason ceilings tend not to be left smooth is because ending up with a perfectly smooth finish is very difficult. In addition, ceilings reflect light in such a manner that every little variation of a smooth surface jumps out at you. To counter this, a spray-on texture is used. The two common types of texture are “Popcorn” and “Knockdown”. Popcorn texture is a mixture of granular particles that is sprayed on after a primer sealer is applied which leaves a rough look. Knockdown texture is a mud like compound that is sprayed on after a sealer is applied, except it is wiped to a smooth top finish. Knockdown tends to be the most popular choice for the fact that is more durable and doesn’t brush off like the popcorn tends to.

At Calgary Drywall Experts Inc. we are able to give you a new textured ceiling or just rejuvenate your old ceiling to have it look new again.

Calgary Drywall Experts are just that…experts! Let us take care of your drywall installation so you know it will get done right. When our talented team does the job you are guaranteed a professional finished look that will stand the test of time.

Have you tried hanging drywall on your own? Many of those who have quickly admit it’s a lot more difficult than it seems at first glance. In fact, we’ve noticed that installing drywall is the part of the project people would most like to avoid. It’s dusty, finicky, and exacting. Getting the board on the wall isn’t so bad, except for the tricky spots, corners, and electrical outlets to cut for. Then there’s the mudding and taping, and the careful sanding required. If done incorrectly, these seams will show through the paint. Having a smooth paintable surface when it’s done takes some practice and finesse. Also, special tools are required for a clean cut on the drywall, and a drywall lift is essential in many situations to lift the board in place before setting the screws.

Because renovations and new construction is stressful and costly enough already, why not let the experts do the drywall work for you? Our goal is to remove the hassle and mess that comes with this type of project.
