Drywall is the part of a renovation people notice most when it is done badly — and never notice when it is done right. Wavy seams, visible patches, rough texture: that is what separates a rushed job from a proper one. Emplastrum Drywall is a Calgary drywall contractor that treats taping, mudding and finishing as a specialist trade rather than an add-on.

Poly-B repair is the work Calgary knows us for — see what that involves.

No call centres, no runaround — you deal directly with the people doing the work. See every drywall service we offer.

Emplastrum Drywall is owner-operated, and Morgan Paul runs it personally. He prices the work on site and he is on the tools for it, so the person who quotes your job is the person who runs it — there are no phone-only estimates that move once the work starts. You get one fixed price in writing first.

Morgan is a finishing specialist rather than a general trade, and that is the whole difference. Taping, mudding and Level 5 finishing are what he does every day, which is why a repair blends into the wall instead of telegraphing back through the paint once the light hits it. It is also why most Poly-B repipe work in Calgary ends up with a finisher rather than a handyman — closing a wall so a grid of patches never shows is a different skill from opening one.

Born and Raised in Calgary

Morgan was born and raised in Calgary, and Emplastrum Drywall is a local drywall contractor in the straightforward sense of the word — he lives here, works here, and is on your street the same week rather than dispatched from another city. There is no call centre between you and the person holding the trowel.

Growing up here is also why he reads a house quickly. Calgary was built in waves and the drywall tells you which one — 1970s and 1980s stipple ceilings through the inner-city southwest, Poly-B plumbing in everything put up between 1978 and 1995, knockdown and orange peel across the late-1990s suburbs, Level 5 flat finishes in the new northwest and the far south. Knowing what is behind the wall before it opens is the difference between a patch that disappears and one you can find from the hallway.

Message Morgan and you get a reply within 24 hours, 7 days a week, and the same person stays accountable from board to final coat. Get my free drywall quote.

Our Approach

How Our Drywall Process Works

The same four steps on every job, from a single ceiling patch to a full-house board and finish, anywhere we work in Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere and Okotoks.

1

Free On-Site Drywall Quote

Send us the project and we book a look in person. You get a clear written quote covering scope, materials and price — not a number over the phone that moves later.

2

Scheduling and Materials

We confirm the scope, the board and the finish level, then book a date that works around you, so you know what is happening and when.

3

Boarding, Taping and Level 4 or Level 5 Finishing

We hang the board, tape and mud, and finish to Level 4 paint-ready or Level 5 glass-smooth, matching existing texture where the work meets an older wall. Dust is contained and the site is cleaned as we go.

4

Final Walkthrough

We walk the job with you under good light, which is where finishing faults actually show, and put right anything you flag on that walkthrough before we pack up.

Every step is handled by the same owner-operated crew. Get my free drywall quote.

Common Questions

About Emplastrum Drywall — Common Questions

Who owns Emplastrum Drywall

Emplastrum Drywall is owner-operated and run personally by Morgan Paul. Morgan quotes the work on site and is on the tools for it, so the person who prices your job is the person who runs it through to the finish.

What areas does Emplastrum Drywall serve

Calgary in all four quadrants (NW, NE, SW and SE), plus Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere and Okotoks, within roughly 60 km of Calgary. We cover 370 named communities across those five cities.

Is Emplastrum Drywall licensed and insured

Yes. Emplastrum Drywall holds City of Calgary Business Licence BL288604, which you can verify with the City in about thirty seconds, and is fully insured and WCB-covered. BL288604 is a City of Calgary municipal licence.

Does Emplastrum do commercial drywall as well as residential

Yes, residential and commercial. Most of our work is residential drywall across Calgary and the surrounding towns, and we also take on commercial boarding, taping and finishing.

What makes Emplastrum different from other Calgary drywall contractors

We are a finishing specialist rather than a general trade. Mudding, taping and Level 4 and Level 5 finishing are what we do every day, which is why a repair blends in instead of telegraphing back through the paint. We are also the Calgary contractor most often called for Poly-B drywall repair after a repipe.

How quickly does Emplastrum respond to a quote request

Within 24 hours, 7 days a week. We book a free on-site look, then give you one fixed written price before any tools come out. No phone-only estimates that change later.

Our Specialty

Poly-B Drywall Repair in Calgary — What We Are Known For

Poly-B (polybutylene) water line went into Calgary homes built roughly between 1978 and 1995. It degrades from the inside where chlorine in municipal water attacks the pipe wall, so it fails without warning — pinhole leaks first, then joints, then a burst line. Calgary has tens of thousands of these homes, and insurers increasingly ask about it.

A plumber replaces the pipe. Somebody still has to close the wall. A Poly-B repipe leaves access holes cut through drywall and ceilings in every room the line ran through — often twenty or more openings in one house, many of them in textured ceilings. That is the part we do: board the openings, tape them, and texture-match the surface so the repair disappears instead of leaving a grid of patches across the house.

Because we do it every week, we work alongside the plumbing crews rather than after everyone has gone. See Poly-B drywall repair in Calgary, or water damage drywall if a line has already let go.

Who We Work Alongside

Drywall rarely happens on its own. On renovations, basement developments and new construction we schedule around the plumbers, electricians, insulators and painters working before and after us, and we build with material brands we have stuck with for a reason.
