Why Westwood homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

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

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

Westwood drywall in context

About Westwood

The character of Westwood has changed considerably in the second half of the 20th century.

What we see in Westwood

In Westwood the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Drywall board types for Westwood homes

Standard board for most walls

Standard 1/2-inch drywall is correct for most interior walls and ceilings in Westwood away from moisture exposure.

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

Exterior basement walls and wet areas need moisture-resistant board; legal suite ceilings need fire-rated board; party walls need soundproof board. We specify the right product for every Westwood surface before we pull the first sheet.

Drywall Installation work we do in Westwood

Renovation boarding in 1960s and 1970s Westwood homes

The most common drywall installation call from Westwood 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. Westwood 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 Westwood — moisture-resistant board

Bathroom renovations in Westwood 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.

Our drywall installation process in Westwood, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Westwood homes

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

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

Drywall board types used in Westwood homes

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

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

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

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