What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

In Jamieson Place, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Away from moisture, Jamieson Place interior walls get standard 1/2” board. Legal suites in Jamieson Place take 5/8” Type X on the ceiling and soundproof party walls. Each Jamieson Place surface gets its board product confirmed at the quote.

Do you board legal suites to spec?

Yes — 5/8-inch Type X fire-rated board on suite ceilings and soundproof board on party walls, to the City of Edmonton suite spec.

Do you board for legal suites in Jamieson Place?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Jamieson Place requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in all wet areas. That spec is how Jamieson Place suites board and pass inspection.

Do you do drywall installation in Jamieson Place?

Yes — Jamieson Place is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and West Edmonton.

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.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

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.

Fixed price, same-day reply, all Edmonton quadrants

We cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and Edmonton, 7 days a week — every established and newer Edmonton community from Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North to Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North.

Handling the sheets without damaging them

Damage happens before it goes up

Board stored on edge, dragged, or left where it can take moisture arrives at the wall already compromised, and a crushed edge or a damp corner never finishes well.

On our sites

Stacked flat and dry, carried rather than dragged, and damaged sheets set aside for offcuts rather than hung in an Jamieson Place room where they will show through the finish.
