Westmount drywall in context

About Westmount

Westmount likely takes its name from an affluent, predominantly Anglophone, city on the west island of Montreal.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Westmount?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Westmount

The cost of drywall installation in Westmount 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. vaults, bulkheads and soffits add time), and new development vs renovation around the existing Westmount trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Westmount homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Westmount home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. In Westmount, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. An Westmount suite ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Westmount, suite-to-living party walls do better with STC soundproof board. For dry Westmount interior walls, standard 1/2” board is right. In Westmount, the correct board per surface is set at the quote, not after inspection.

Our Westmount drywall installation process, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Westmount starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves Westmount 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 Westmount boarding is done, the taping crew can start immediately with no rework.

Drywall installation work we do in Westmount

Room addition and partition boarding in Westmount homes

Westmount 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 Westmount

Water damage in Westmount 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 Westmount homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

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

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