Drywall installation work we do in Parkview

Full basement boarding in Parkview homes

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

Legal suite partition boarding in Parkview

Secondary suite additions in Parkview 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.

It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Parkview walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Parkview homes use standard 1/2” board.

Exterior basement walls in Parkview homes need moisture-resistant board. In Parkview, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. A Parkview suite ceiling must carry 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Parkview, the suite-to-main party wall takes STC soundproof board. The right board per Parkview surface is set at the quote for a clean inspection.
