Artista Drywall provides full residential drywall services in Capitol Hill, Calgary. This mature community features original post-war bungalows, wartime cottages, modern infill duplexes, skinny homes on subdivided lots, and many homeowners are undertaking renovations, additions, and full-home updates to modernize interiors while preserving the character of the neighborhood. Whether you are opening up walls to create an open-concept layout, refinishing original plaster surfaces, or completing a full basement development, Artista Drywall handles every phase of the drywall scope from board to final coat.
Residential drywall projects in Capitol Hill come with specific considerations. Plaster demolition and full drywall replacement in gut renovations, matching textures where additions meet original walls, addressing moisture-damaged drywall in below-grade spaces of older homes, sound attenuation in new side-by-side builds are among the challenges we encounter regularly in this area. Basement conditions also play a role: original homes have low 6 to 7-foot basements with fieldstone or concrete block foundations; many are damp and require waterproofing before finishing; infills feature full 9-foot developed basements. This affects board selection, moisture management, and finishing approach for below-grade spaces. Artista Drywall's experience in Capitol Hill means we anticipate these issues and plan accordingly, avoiding costly surprises during the project.
For mature neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Artista Drywall's residential process accounts for the realities of working in occupied homes with original construction. We use dust-containment barriers, protect finished flooring, and coordinate with other trades to keep the project moving. Finish quality ranges from standard level 4 (suitable for most flat and eggshell paints) to level 5 skim coat (required for high-gloss paint, large open walls, and spaces with dramatic lighting). Every Capitol Hill project is delivered to the finish level that matches the homeowner's vision.
Capitol Hill is a gritty, evolving inner-city neighborhood where wartime bungalows sit next to sleek modern infills on the same block. Its proximity to SAIT, the Alberta Children's Hospital, and the Foothills Medical Centre makes it a practical choice for healthcare workers and students. The neighborhood's elevated terrain provides views of the downtown skyline to the south and Nose Hill to the north, and its walkable streets connect to the bustling 10th Street corridor in Kensington. Artista Drywall is proud to serve Capitol Hill and the surrounding NW Calgary area, including Brentwood, Mount Pleasant, Hillhurst.

What We Offer
Supply and installation of drywall board for new construction and renovation projects in Capitol Hill. We use standard half-inch, five-eighths fire-rated, moisture-resistant, and sound-rated board as required by the project scope and building code.
Standard and premium finishing to suit your paint and lighting requirements. Level 4 is appropriate for most residential spaces with flat or eggshell paint. Level 5 adds a full skim coat for high-gloss paint, open-concept rooms, and areas with dramatic natural or artificial lighting.
Full drywall scope for basement builds including framed walls, ceilings, and utility rooms in Capitol Hill. Basement projects involve bulkhead framing around ductwork, moisture-resistant board in wet areas, and ceiling work that accounts for mechanical systems. In Capitol Hill, original homes have low 6 to 7-foot basements with fieldstone or concrete block foundations; many are damp and require waterproofing before finishing; infills feature full 9-foot developed basements, so board sizing and layout are planned accordingly.
Tie-in and finishing for additions, opened walls, and remodelled spaces. Renovation drywall requires careful integration with existing surfaces so that new and old sections look identical after painting.
Coffered, tray, and feature ceiling finishing for Capitol Hill homes. Custom ceilings add architectural depth and visual interest, and they require precise framing and finishing to look clean and intentional.
