Is drywall installation in Lansdowne a fixed price?

Yes. We assess the job on site, confirm the scope and give you a fixed price before we start. The number does not change after we begin.

Do you board for legal suites in Lansdowne?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Lansdowne 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 Lansdowne suites board and pass inspection.

How long does drywall installation take in an Lansdowne home?

A standard basement in an Lansdowne home typically takes one to two days to board. A full Lansdowne new-build or a larger renovation takes longer. We give Lansdowne homeowners a realistic timeline at the on-site quote. The Lansdowne taping crew can usually start the day after boarding is complete.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Lansdowne. The Lansdowne ceiling board is carried in part by the wall board butting under it. In Lansdowne, reversing the boarding order leaves ceiling joints unsupported and prone to cracking. No Lansdowne wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

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.

For Lansdowne exterior basement walls, what board do you use?

In Lansdowne, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Lansdowne home.

Our drywall installation process in Lansdowne, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Lansdowne homes

Every boarding job in Lansdowne starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Lansdowne because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Lansdowne ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Lansdowne walls until the ceiling is done. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Lansdowne

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All Lansdowne seams land on framing, not between studs. Inside and outside Lansdowne corners are clean and square. Lansdowne board does not run past window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Lansdowne home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Drywall board types used in Lansdowne homes

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

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

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

Exterior basement walls in Lansdowne homes need moisture-resistant board. Lansdowne wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. In Lansdowne, suite ceilings run 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. The Lansdowne suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board. Correct board per Lansdowne surface, chosen at the quote, keeps inspection clean.

Full basement boarding in Lansdowne homes

The most common boarding call in Lansdowne 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 Lansdowne basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Legal suite partition boarding in Lansdowne

Secondary suite additions in Lansdowne homes require the right board on every surface: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling between the suite and the main floor, STC soundproof board on party walls, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry. We board to the Edmonton secondary suite spec so the installation passes inspection without a callback.

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.
