Do you stand behind your boarding in Aspen Gardens?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

What is a butt joint and why avoid it?

Two cut sheet ends meeting, with no factory taper, so the joint has to be built up and feathered wide instead of sitting below the surface. Every one removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Aspen Gardens?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Aspen Gardens job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Can you board only and leave the finishing to us?

Yes — we hang straight and square as a standalone stage, ready for your taper, or we can board and finish it as one job in your Aspen Gardens home.

Does it matter how the board is stored on site?

Yes. It damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp slab and bows if stacked badly. Damaged edges become damaged joints, and a sheet that has taken moisture never finishes properly.

Can you board over my existing plaster?

Often yes, and where plaster is failing across a whole wall it can be faster and flatter than rebuilding it. It costs wall thickness at every opening though — reveals, casings and outlets all need extending, and that is usually what decides it.

Sheet length and when to pay for 12-footers

Fewer joints, better wall

A 12-foot sheet across a long Aspen Gardens hallway removes joints that a 8-footers would create. It costs slightly more and handles harder.

Where it matters

Long walls, great rooms, and anywhere with raking light. In a small bedroom the difference is invisible and not worth the handling. We order per room rather than one size for the house.

Cutting around openings and boxes

Tight cuts, not filled gaps

A generous cut around an electrical box in an Aspen Gardens wall gets filled with compound, which cracks and is also a hole in the air seal.

How it should be

Measured and cut to fit. It is slower and it produces a wall that both finishes better and performs better, which is why we do not let it slide as a small thing.

Handling and storing board on site

It is fragile until it is up

Drywall damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp Aspen Gardens slab and bows if stacked badly.

What we do

Stored flat and off the floor, kept dry, and not delivered weeks before it is needed. Damaged edges become damaged joints, and a sheet that has taken moisture never finishes properly.

Butt joints are the enemy

No taper to work with

Factory sheet edges are tapered so tape and compound sit below the surface. A butt joint — two cut ends meeting — has no taper, so the repair has to be built up and feathered wide.

How we reduce them

Longer sheets, planned layout, and running board the length of the wall rather than stacking short pieces. Every butt joint removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.

Why Aspen Gardens homeowners and builders trust Emplastrum

Boarding that makes finishing easy

As a mudding and taping specialist, we board the way we want to receive it — straight, square and tight — because in Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates we know good boarding is what makes a flat finish possible.

Fixed price, on schedule

We board across Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates and Whitemud, 7 days a week. Free on-site quotes and fixed prices — you know the number before we start, we keep the site clean, and we stand behind the work. If something is not right, we come back and make it right.

Ceilings first, always

Order is structural

Ceiling board goes up before wall board so the wall sheets support the ceiling perimeter. Reversed, the ceiling edge is unsupported and cracks along the wall junction.

Also practical

Working overhead with a clear floor is faster and safer than working around stacked wall sheets, which matters on a whole-house Aspen Gardens job.
