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 serve Maple on weekends?

Yes — we cover Maple 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 Maple?

Yes. We walk the finished Maple boarding with you before we leave, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Maple. Wall board under ceiling board helps hold the Maple ceiling. Flip the Maple sequence and the ceiling joints go unsupported — cracks follow. The Maple ceiling finishes before any wall boarding starts.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for drywall installation?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove, 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.

How long does drywall installation take in a Maple home?

A standard basement in a Maple home typically takes one to two days to board. New construction or a big reno in Maple runs a longer schedule. The Maple timeline you get at the quote is realistic, not optimistic. In Maple, finishing usually begins the day after boarding wraps.

Drywall Installation in Maple — what to expect

We provide drywall installation services in Maple and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. Maple is one of Mill Woods and Meadows’s oldest communities, with homes from the 1960s and 1970s.

Our drywall installation process in Maple, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Maple homes

Every boarding job in Maple starts with the ceiling. In Maple we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Maple order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Maple, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Maple

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Maple, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Maple, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Maple, board stops clean at window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Maple home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Why Maple homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

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

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Board in Maple that is not level, has seams mid-field or screws too far apart creates problems the taping crew has to fight. We board every Maple 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 Maple?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Maple

The cost of drywall installation in Maple 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 areas, bulkheads and soffits take longer), plus whether it is new build or reno around Maple fixtures and trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Maple homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Maple home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Moisture-resistant board on all Maple bathroom and laundry walls. In Maple, suite ceilings take 5/8” Type X fire-rated. An Maple suite party wall gains from STC soundproof board. In Maple, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board. Each Maple surface gets its product at the quote, before any inspector flags it.

Our Edmonton drywall installation process, step by step

Ceiling board first — always

Every boarding job in Edmonton starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints carrying their own weight unsupported — they perform worse under the tape and are more likely to crack over time. No Maple wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

Wall boarding — screw pattern, joint placement and board selection

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern: every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All seams land on framing. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Maple jobs. We hold Maple board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is complete, every surface is at the right plane, the taping crew can start immediately and there is no rework to do before they begin.
