Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my joints visible?▾

Usually too few compound coats, poor feathering or sanding done too soon. In raking light it shows, and another coat of paint will not hide it.

Can drywall go straight onto a concrete wall?▾

No. You need a suitable air barrier and insulation, and the drywall must not touch concrete or a damp floor. Otherwise mould settles behind the wall.

How can soundproofing be improved?▾

Through panel choice, cavity insulation and sometimes decoupling the structure. Those decisions come before installation.

How long for a full basement?▾

Several days, because compound must dry between coats. A schedule that is too short is a warning sign.

How do I verify a contractor is licensed?▾

Ask for the RBQ licence number and search the Régie du bâtiment du Québec public registry.

Drywall & Plastering in Terrebonne: what to know

Drywall is the step that finally makes a renovation feel like progress. It is also where sloppy work becomes permanently visible.

Joints

A well-taped joint disappears under paint. A poor one shows in raking light, and repainting does not fix it. The number of compound coats, drying time between them and the final sanding make all the difference.

Basements

In a basement, drywall must never touch concrete or sit on a damp floor. Moisture management comes before installation, otherwise mould settles behind the wall.

Soundproofing

Between a finished basement and the main floor, or between two units, details matter: panel type, insulation, decoupling. Those choices are made before installation, not after.

Licence

The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
