Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

We board the way a finishing specialist wants it boarded

Most boarding crews treat installation as a volume game — get the board up, move on. Every taping problem we have fixed over the years started with a boarding problem underneath it. We board every Edmonton job the way we would want it boarded before we tape it: ceiling first, correct screw pattern, seams on framing, board plumb. The finish is better because the boarding behind it is right.

Drywall board types used in Canossa homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Canossa walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Canossa homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Canossa walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Canossa homes use standard 1/2” board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where spec matters in Canossa

Exterior basement walls in Canossa homes need moisture-resistant board. In Canossa, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. A Canossa suite ceiling must carry 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Canossa, the suite-to-main party wall takes STC soundproof board. The right board per Canossa surface is set at the quote for a clean inspection.

Our Canossa drywall installation process, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Canossa starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. In Canossa, reversing the order under-supports the joints.

Wall board and seams

Walls go up with correct screws and framed seams. In Canossa, completed boarding hands straight to taping with nothing to fix.

Drywall installation work we do in Canossa

New development boarding in Canossa — basement and flex rooms

Canossa homeowners finishing new development basements call us to do the boarding before the taping crew. We hang ceiling board first, wall board second, with moisture-resistant on exterior foundation walls and any wall adjacent to plumbing rough-in. We cut bulkheads cleanly, use the correct screw pattern throughout and leave the space ready for taping. No re-work — the taper can start the day after we finish.

Legal suite boarding to spec in Canossa

With strong rental demand in the Canossa area, secondary suite boarding calls are among the most consistent installation jobs we do. We board to the Edmonton spec — 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the suite ceiling, STC soundproof on party walls, moisture-resistant in wet areas — and leave an inspection-ready installation. Fixed price, specified at the on-site quote.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Canossa?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Canossa

The cost of drywall installation in Canossa comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaulted ceilings, bulkheads and soffits add time), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing Canossa trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Canossa homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Canossa home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Canossa bathrooms and laundry need moisture-resistant board on all walls. Canossa legal-suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated. Canossa party walls between a suite and living space benefit from STC soundproof board. Standard 1/2” board is correct for Canossa interior walls away from moisture. We specify the right product for each Canossa surface at the on-site quote — not after the inspector flags it.
