Do you serve Parkdale on weekends?

Yes — we cover Parkdale 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 Parkdale?

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

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

Parkdale drywall in context

About Parkdale

Parkdale is a low-density residential neighbourhood close to the inner city featuring primarily single-family homes as well as some commercial and industrial areas.

Drywall Installation work we do in Parkdale

Renovation boarding in 1960s and 1970s Parkdale homes

The most common drywall installation call from Parkdale is renovation work. Walls come down for a kitchen open-up, a bathroom move or a structural change, and new board goes up on the exposed framing. Parkdale homes from this era often have original plaster or early drywall that does not match modern board thickness — we assess the framing and select the right board thickness so the surface is consistent.

Bathroom and wet-area boarding in Parkdale — moisture-resistant board

Bathroom renovations in Parkdale homes require moisture-resistant board behind tile and around any plumbing chase. We hang moisture-resistant board properly so the tile substrate is solid and the installation holds for the long term.

Why Parkdale homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

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

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Un-level Parkdale board, mid-field seams or wide screw spacing all make trouble for the finishers. We board every Parkdale 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.

We cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and Edmonton, 7 days a week — Parkdale, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and every community in between. Your Parkdale quote is free and the price fixed — it holds when we arrive.

Our drywall installation process in Parkdale, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Parkdale homes

Every boarding job in Parkdale starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Parkdale because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Parkdale ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Parkdale 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 Parkdale

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

Drywall board types used in Parkdale homes

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

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

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

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

Drywall installation work we do in Parkdale

Full basement boarding in Parkdale homes

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

Legal suite partition boarding in Parkdale

Secondary suite additions in Parkdale 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.
