Drywall board types used in Decoteau homes

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

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Decoteau 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 Decoteau walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Decoteau homes use standard 1/2” board.

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

Exterior basement walls in Decoteau homes need moisture-resistant board. Decoteau bathrooms and laundry need moisture-resistant board on all walls. Decoteau legal-suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Decoteau party walls between a suite and the main living space get STC soundproof board. We specify the right product for each Decoteau surface at the on-site quote so there are no surprises at inspection.

Drywall installation work we do in Decoteau

Full basement boarding in Decoteau homes

The most common boarding call in Decoteau is full basement installation. The builder framed the space; the homeowner is ready to finish it. We hang the ceiling board first — always — then the walls, with moisture-resistant board on all exterior foundation walls. We use the correct screw pattern, land all seams on framing, and cut around mechanical chases and bulkheads cleanly. When the boarding crew leaves an Decoteau basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Boarding to a premium standard in Decoteau

Decoteau homeowners expect the boarding to match the quality of the rest of the home. We hang board level and flush, use the correct screw pattern throughout, land all seams on framing and cut corners and archways cleanly. The taping crew gets a surface they can work to Level 4 or Level 5 without fighting the boarding behind it.

Why Decoteau homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

Boarding done right means the finish can be done right in Decoteau

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. In Decoteau, off-level board, floating seams or sparse screws hand the taping crew a fight. We board every Decoteau job the way a taping specialist would want it boarded — because we are the taping specialist. When we finish the boarding, we can finish the taping to Level 4 without fighting the installation underneath.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

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

Board spec in Edmonton — right product on every surface

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Decoteau wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. Legal suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between a suite and the main living area need STC soundproof board. Standard 1/2” suits Decoteau interior walls clear of moisture. We map every surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product — so there are no surprises when the inspector comes.
