What does a drywall contractor in Calgary charge

It depends on scope, not on a per-hour rate. We quote the job on site and give you one fixed price before the work starts, so there is no running meter and no surprise at the end.

Do you do small drywall repairs or only full rooms

Both. A single hole, a cracked ceiling seam or a row of Poly-B access holes is normal work for us, and so is boarding and finishing a whole basement or a new build.

Can you match the texture on my existing ceiling

Yes — texture matching is a core part of every repair we do, whether the ceiling is stipple, knockdown, orange peel or smooth. Matching the existing pattern is what makes a repair stop being visible.

How soon can you look at it

We work 7 days a week across Calgary and book on-site quotes quickly. Call or text (403) 829-8702 and tell us the quadrant and what happened.

Do you handle the drywall after a Poly-B re-pipe

Yes. Once the plumbing is done we close the access holes, tape and coat them, sand flat and match the surrounding texture so the ceiling or wall reads as one surface again.

Hire one drywall contractor for the whole job in Calgary

Most Calgary drywall calls are not one clean task — a Poly-B re-pipe leaves a row of access holes down a hallway ceiling, a basement development needs boarding, taping and texture before a painter can start, a water leak takes out part of a wall and the insulation behind it. Emplastrum Drywall is a Calgary drywall contractor built to take all of that in one visit rather than handing you between trades. We work out of NW Calgary and cover every quadrant of the city: the older stock through Bowness, Killarney, Renfrew and Mount Pleasant where stipple ceilings, plaster transitions and 1960s board are normal, and the newer communities out in Mahogany, Cornerstone, Livingston, Seton and Legacy where steel-stud framing, tall open-concept ceilings and Level 5 finishes are what get asked for. Boarding, taping and mudding, texture matching so a patch disappears instead of announcing itself, ceiling repair, popcorn ceiling removal, basement and legal-suite drywall, garage and fire-rated board, and water-damage restoration are all the same crew and the same quote. Tell us what the room needs, we price it on site before anyone opens a bucket of mud, and that number does not move once we start.

Why one Calgary drywall contractor beats three trades

The risk in a Calgary drywall job sits in the handoffs

Booking boarding, taping and texture as three separate trades means three schedules and three people who can each blame the other. The seam that was not fully cured before paint went on, the texture the second crew could not match because they never saw the original ceiling — those are handoff failures, not skill failures. Using one drywall contractor in Calgary from board through finish removes the gap, because the crew that hung the sheet is the crew that feathers the texture and hands it off paint-ready.

What a Calgary job looks like start to finish

We scope every job the same way: cut back to solid board, hang and screw off, tape and coat with real drying time between coats, sand flat, then match whatever texture is already on the ceiling or wall. New construction gets sequenced around your other trades; a repair gets scheduled around your household. Either way you get one number on site first.

Drywall repair and restoration across Calgary

Repairs are most of what we do

Nail pops and seam cracks along a hallway, doorknob and furniture damage, ceiling cracks from truss uplift over a winter, stained board under a bathroom that leaked, and the run of access holes a plumber leaves behind after a Poly-B re-pipe. Each one is the same discipline: cut back to something solid, patch with the right thickness of board, tape it, coat it wider than feels necessary, sand it flat and match the texture so the repair stops being visible.

Water damage and Poly-B in Calgary homes

Calgary has a lot of Poly-B still in service and a lot of finished basements under it. Once the plumbing is sorted we cut out the wet board, replace insulation that will not dry, re-board, re-tape and re-texture, and we take photographs along the way if you are dealing with an insurer.

Boarding, taping and Level 5 finishing

Boarding and installation

New builds, additions, basement developments and legal suites — hung square, screwed off properly, with fire-rated board where the code calls for it and moisture-resistant board in wet areas.

Level 4 versus Level 5

Level 4 is the normal residential finish and it is the right call for most rooms. Level 5 — a full skim coat over the whole surface — is what you want under a flat or satin sheen, on long unbroken walls, or anywhere raking light from a big window will cross the surface. We will tell you on site which one the room actually needs rather than selling the higher number by default.

Ceilings: repair, texture and popcorn removal

Popcorn and stipple ceilings

Scraping a stipple ceiling is the easy half; the work is what comes after — skim coating the surface flat, priming it, and either leaving it smooth or spraying a knockdown or orange-peel texture back on. We do the whole sequence so you are not left with a scraped ceiling and a second trade to find.

Ceiling repair and texture matching

Cracks, sagging, water stains and holes get patched and then matched into the surrounding texture. Matching an existing spray pattern is the part most repairs get wrong, and it is the part that decides whether the ceiling looks repaired or looks finished.

Every quadrant of Calgary, 7 days a week

Where we work

NW, NE, SW and SE Calgary — from Tuscany, Royal Oak, Evanston and Sage Hill in the northwest, through Coventry Hills, Skyview and Cornerstone in the northeast, out to Aspen, Signal Hill, Springbank Hill and Legacy in the southwest, and Mahogany, Auburn Bay, McKenzie Towne and Seton in the southeast. We do not take downtown jobs.

Beyond the city

The same crew covers Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere and Okotoks, so a job that straddles the city limits does not need a second contractor.
