Do you serve Graydon Hill on weekends?

Yes — we cover Graydon Hill and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

Do you stand behind your installation work in Graydon Hill?

Yes. Before leaving Graydon Hill, we walk the boarding together and fix anything not right.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Graydon Hill. In Graydon Hill, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Graydon Hill ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Graydon Hill, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

How long does drywall installation take in a Edmonton home?

A standard open basement in a Edmonton new build typically takes one to two days to board. A full renovation or larger new build takes longer depending on scope. Honest scheduling in Graydon Hill: the quoted timeline is the real one. The taping crew can usually start the next day.

Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

Do you hang the ceiling board before the walls?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up first on every Edmonton installation job. Wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints unsupported — they crack sooner and perform worse under tape.

Drywall installation work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

Basement development boarding in Edmonton — new builds and existing homes

The most common boarding call across Edmonton is full basement development. In newer Edmonton communities — Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne — the builder framed the basement and the homeowner is ready to develop it. We board ceiling first, then the walls, with moisture-resistant on every exterior foundation wall. In older Edmonton communities — Allard, Ambleside, Blackburne — the call is often a legal suite conversion with fire-rated and soundproof board to spec.

Renovation boarding and room additions in established Edmonton communities

Established Edmonton homeowners renovating their main floors call us for boarding after walls come down. Kitchen open-ups, room additions, bathroom relocations — all require new board hung to match the adjacent surfaces. We assess the framing, select the right board thickness, hang level and leave the newly boarded walls ready for taping. No visible seam between old and new.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation in Edmonton

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.

Standard board for most walls

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof where the spec matters

Exterior basement walls and wet areas need moisture-resistant board; legal suite ceilings need fire-rated board; party walls need soundproof board. We specify the right product for every Graydon Hill surface before we pull the first sheet.

Our Drywall Installation process in Graydon Hill in Edmonton

Assess before we start — always in Graydon Hill

Every job in Graydon Hill starts with an on-site assessment. We do not guess at scope, board type or texture match. We confirm what is needed, give you a fixed price and only then start the work.

Left clean and paint-ready in Graydon Hill

When we leave your Graydon Hill home, the work is done properly — Level 4 tape on every joint, texture matched, surface sanded flat and ready for the painter. No rework from the painter. No callbacks.

Ceilings first, then walls

The order is not arbitrary

Ceiling board goes up first so the wall sheets push up underneath and support its edges.

What it prevents

Doing it the other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, and in an Graydon Hill room that is where the cracking starts. It also gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line, which is the joint people look at most.
