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.

Eastwood drywall in context

About Eastwood

Parts of Eastwood were subdivided as early as 1906.

What we see in Eastwood

In Eastwood the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Drywall board types used in Eastwood homes

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

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

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

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

Our Eastwood drywall installation process, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

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

Wall board and seams

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

Drywall installation work we do in Eastwood

New development boarding in Eastwood — basement and flex rooms

Eastwood 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 Eastwood

With strong rental demand in the Eastwood 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 Eastwood?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Eastwood

The cost of drywall installation in Eastwood 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 Eastwood trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Eastwood homes — right product on every surface

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