Our Parkallen drywall installation process, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Parkallen starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves Parkallen ceiling joints unsupported and more likely to crack later.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and seams

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern and every seam lands on framing. When the Parkallen boarding is done, the taping crew can start immediately with no rework.

Drywall installation work we do in Parkallen

Room addition and partition boarding in Parkallen homes

Parkallen homes from the late 1980s and 1990s are at the age where homeowners are adding partitions, converting rooms and opening up floor plans. New walls go up and existing rooms get reboarded when layouts change. We hang standard 1/2” board on all new partition walls, confirm the framing is square before we start and leave the new walls ready for the taping crew. Board seams land on studs, corners are clean and nothing is proud of the adjacent surface.

Water damage reboarding in Parkallen

Water damage in Parkallen homes from the late 1980s and 1990s is one of the most common boarding calls we get. A bathroom leak, a roof problem or a burst pipe means the affected board comes out and new board goes up on the exposed framing. We assess what needs to come down, remove only what is damaged, re-board to match the existing surface height and leave the wall ready for taping.

Why Parkallen homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

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

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Poorly hung Parkallen board — not level, seams mid-bay, screws too far — fights the finish. We board every Parkallen 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 Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Edmonton comes down to four things: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are priced differently), ceiling complexity (flat ceilings vs. vaulted, cathedral, bulkheads and soffits), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Edmonton — right product on every surface

Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Moisture-resistant board on all Parkallen bathroom and laundry walls. Legal suite ceilings need 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between a suite and the main living area need STC soundproof board. In Parkallen, moisture-free interior walls use standard 1/2” board. We map every surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product — so there are no surprises when the inspector comes.

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. The Parkallen ceiling finishes before any wall boarding starts.

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. Parkallen corners, inside and outside, come out square and clean. Board never runs past the openings on Parkallen jobs. 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.

We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.
