Drywall boarding in Bridgeland-Riverside, from century homes to new infills

Few Calgary neighbourhoods mix eras like Bridgeland-Riverside: early-1900s character houses with original lath and plaster sit beside brand-new infills and multi-unit builds. Boarding here means two very different jobs done well — stripping and re-boarding hundred-year-old walls whose framing has moved for a century, and hanging tall, clean sheets in new construction. We do both, with the board specced to the building, joints staggered and every sheet square. Bridgeland-Riverside, Renfrew, Crescent Heights and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Century homes: what a hundred years does to walls

Lath, plaster and surprises

Original Bridgeland-Riverside walls hide knob-and-tube chases, shimmed studs and plaster keys. We strip carefully, flag what a homeowner should see before it disappears, and correct the framing so new board sits flat.

Keeping the character, losing the cracks

You keep the mouldings and proportions that make a Bridgeland character home worth owning — the wavy, cracking plaster is what leaves. Some Bridgeland/Riverside homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Infills and multi-unit builds in Bridgeland-Riverside

New construction boarding

Bridgeland's new infills get full-house hanging: tall ceilings, big sheets, tight screws, stagger patterns that stay invisible under a Level 5 finish.

Suites and shared walls

Where a build includes a suite or party wall, we install the fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies the drawings call for — boring inspections are the goal. Some Bridgeland/Riverside homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Why Bridgeland-Riverside projects come to Emplastrum

Boarding is where finishes are won

On old bones especially, the boarding stage decides whether the paint looks right in five years. We hang it square so the finish has nothing to fight.

Fixed price, one trusted team, tidy site

A written fixed price up front, the same trusted team from first sheet to last, and a clean site every day on your Bridgeland-Riverside project. Some Bridgeland/Riverside homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

What drywall boarding usually involves in Bridgeland/Riverside

Housing in Bridgeland/Riverside is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different drywall boarding work.

In older Bridgeland/Riverside houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is opened up.
