Our 13+ years of experience ensures proper material removal, precise measurements, and code-compliant installations for residential and commercial properties.

Wall Replacement Services

Your wall replacement project requires precise planning and skilled execution. We assess structural integrity before removal and identify any framing issues that need correction.

Our team handles full re-board installations using appropriate drywall thickness for your specific application. Standard residential walls typically use 1/2-inch drywall, while fire-rated assemblies require 5/8-inch materials.

Wall replacement scenarios we handle:

• Water damage restoration
• Structural modifications
• Insulation upgrades
• Electrical rewiring access
• Plumbing relocations

We coordinate with other trades during renovation projects. Your electrical and plumbing rough-ins get completed before new drywall installation begins.

Insurance re-sheeting projects follow specific documentation requirements. We provide detailed scope reports and progress photos for your insurance adjuster.

Ceiling Replacement Expertise

Ceiling replacement demands specialized techniques due to gravity and access challenges. Our crew uses proper lifting equipment and temporary support systems during installation.

Ceiling types we replace:

• Standard flat ceilings
• Cathedral ceilings
• Coffered designs
• Drop ceiling conversions

Your ceiling height affects material handling and installation methods. Rooms over 9 feet require scaffolding rather than standard ladders for safety compliance.

We address common ceiling problems like sagging, water stains, and texture damage. Framing correction services include sister joists and blocking installation when structural issues exist.

Commercial re-sheeting projects often involve fire-rated ceiling assemblies. These installations require specific materials and fastening patterns to maintain code compliance.

Panel Replacement and Sheet Removal

Strategic sheet removal prevents damage to adjacent surfaces and underlying utilities. We score cut lines and use proper lifting techniques to avoid cracking adjoining panels.

Panel replacement situations:

• Isolated damage repair
• Utility access panels
• Outlet relocations
• Switch additions
• Fixture modifications

Your existing texture gets matched during partial replacements. We sample original finishes and replicate spray patterns or hand textures accordingly.

Interior re-sheeting projects require dust containment measures. Plastic sheeting protects furniture and flooring during removal and installation phases.

Re-paneling work includes proper joint treatment and fastener placement. Screws go into framing members every 12 inches along edges and 16 inches in field areas.

Wall Tear-Out and Ceiling Tear-Out

Demo and re-sheet projects start with utility disconnection and protective measures. We verify electrical circuits are de-energized and water lines are shut off before demolition begins.

Systematic tear-out prevents structural damage. Drywall gets removed in manageable sections while preserving framing integrity.

Tear-out process steps:

1. Utility disconnection verification
2. Protective covering installation
3. Systematic panel removal
4. Debris containment and disposal
5. Framing inspection and correction

Structural re-sheeting addresses load-bearing modifications and framing repairs. We install blocking, headers, and reinforcement as needed before new drywall installation.

Your renovation timeline depends on tear-out complexity and underlying conditions. Hidden damage or code violations can extend project duration beyond initial estimates.



Commercial projects require coordinated scheduling with building occupants. We work during off-hours when necessary to minimize business disruption.

Advanced Re-Boarding and Re-Paneling Services

St. Albert Drywall Squad specializes in comprehensive re-boarding solutions that address structural damage, moisture issues, and aging materials. Our 13+ years of experience ensures precise demo procedures and quality material installation for both residential and commercial projects.

Full Re-Board Projects

Complete re-boarding involves removing all existing drywall, insulation, and damaged materials down to the studs. Your project begins with a thorough assessment of the underlying structure to identify any framing issues or moisture damage.

Full Re-Board Process:

• Electrical and plumbing protection during demolition
• Insulation replacement with updated materials
• Vapor barrier installation where required
• New drywall hanging using appropriate thickness
• Tape and finish application

This comprehensive approach works best when dealing with extensive water damage, mold remediation, or major renovations. You receive updated electrical and plumbing access points as needed.

The process typically takes 3-5 days for standard rooms. Larger commercial spaces require additional time based on square footage and complexity.

Interior Re-Sheeting Techniques

Interior re-sheeting focuses on replacing damaged sections while preserving undamaged areas. This targeted approach reduces costs and project timeline compared to full demolition.

We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify problem areas accurately. Your existing walls receive careful evaluation to determine which sections need replacement versus repair.

Re-Sheeting Methods:

• Partial wall removal for localized damage
• Ceiling section replacement for leak areas
• Panel-by-panel installation for seamless transitions
• Texture matching to blend new and existing surfaces

This technique works particularly well for insurance claims where damage affects specific areas. You maintain living space functionality while repairs progress in targeted zones.

Demo and Re-Sheet Procedures

Controlled demolition protects surrounding areas while ensuring complete removal of damaged materials. Your property receives plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems to contain debris and dust.

Safety protocols include lead testing for homes built before 1978. All electrical circuits receive proper shutdown and protection during demolition phases.

Our demo process includes:

• Dust containment systems
• Material separation for recycling
• Structural inspection during removal
• Immediate moisture control measures

You receive detailed documentation of any structural issues discovered during demolition. This information helps with insurance claims and future maintenance planning.

The re-sheeting phase begins immediately after demo completion to minimize exposure time. Fresh materials install using current building codes and moisture management techniques.

Structural and Specialized Re-Sheeting

Complex drywall projects require specialized expertise in structural support systems, commercial applications, and insurance restoration work. These projects demand precise execution and comprehensive knowledge of building codes and structural integrity requirements.

Framing Correction Methods

Improper framing alignment creates significant challenges during re-sheeting projects. Correcting these structural issues requires systematic assessment of existing framework conditions.

Wall studs that have shifted over time need realignment before new drywall installation.

This process involves:

• Straightening warped studs using furring strips or complete replacement
• Correcting spacing irregularities to meet standard 16" or 24" on-center requirements
• Installing blocking between studs for additional support
• Shimming low areas to create uniform mounting surfaces

Ceiling joists present similar challenges when they sag or twist. Professional correction involves sister joist installation alongside existing members. This technique restores proper structural support without removing original framework.

Electrical and plumbing integration requires careful coordination during framing corrections. Existing utilities must remain functional while structural modifications occur around them.

Structural Re-Sheeting Processes

Structural re-sheeting addresses compromised building envelope integrity through systematic material replacement. This process differs from standard drywall installation by incorporating structural assessment protocols.

Load-bearing wall modifications require engineering evaluation before proceeding. These walls support building weight and cannot be altered without proper structural analysis.

The re-sheeting sequence follows specific steps:

1. Moisture assessment using specialized detection equipment
2. Structural evaluation of underlying framework
3. Material selection based on environmental conditions
4. Installation techniques that enhance structural performance

Fire-rated assemblies demand compliance with building codes during reconstruction. These systems require specific materials and installation methods to maintain their protective ratings.

Water damage scenarios often necessitate structural re-sheeting when moisture compromises both drywall and framing members. Complete removal and replacement ensures long-term structural stability.
