Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation in Edmonton

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.

Fixed price, same-day reply, all Edmonton quadrants

We cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood and Edmonton, 7 days a week — every established and newer Edmonton community from Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood to Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood. Free on-site quotes, fixed prices — you know the number before we start and it does not change.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Patricia Heights house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

Drywall board types for Edmonton homes

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

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install and finishes the same as the rest of the house. Most interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes use standard board.

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

Exterior basement walls need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Bathroom and laundry walls need moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated. STC soundproof board goes on Patricia Heights suite party walls. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.

Ceilings first, then walls

The order is not arbitrary

Ceiling board goes up first so the wall sheets push up underneath and support its edges.

What it prevents

Doing it the other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, and in an Patricia Heights room that is where the cracking starts. It also gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line, which is the joint people look at most.
