Vapour barrier installation in Elboya, Calgary — 6 mil poly sealed over insulation before drywall, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration.
A vapour barrier is one of the few things in a build that is completely hidden and completely unforgiving — once the drywall is on, a torn sheet or an unsealed outlet box stays that way for the life of the wall. In Elboya we install and seal 6 mil poly over the insulation on the warm side, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration, before any board goes up. Elboya is an older SW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so attic top-ups and wall insulation upgrades are common here alongside basement development, since original insulation levels are often below current standards. We cover Elboya, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.
Someone attends the Elboya Calgary address, inspects what the vapour barrier installation actually involves, and gives you a firm number before leaving. Nothing is estimated from a photo.
We book around you, not around our week. When the day comes the Elboya Calgary crew is there at the agreed time, loaded for the vapour barrier installation.
Dust control is set up first — sheeting, sealed openings, containment — then the vapour barrier installation is taken through to a paint-ready finish in your Elboya Calgary home.
Before we call the Elboya Calgary job finished we walk it together under proper light. If a spot needs another pass, it gets one.

Read our reviews on GoogleElboya spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall genuinely differs street to street — which is why we look before quoting the vapour barrier installation rather than after.
In older Elboya houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is opened up.
