Artista Drywall provides full residential drywall services in Marlborough, Calgary. This mature community features bungalows, bi-levels, side splits, walk-up apartments along Memorial Drive and 36th Street, 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 Marlborough come with specific considerations. Popcorn ceiling removal with asbestos precautions, stripping 1970s paneling and replacing with drywall in basements, repairing cracks from decades of settling in concrete block foundations, moisture remediation behind finished basement walls are among the challenges we encounter regularly in this area. Basement conditions also play a role: 7-foot basements with concrete block walls are standard; many have been finished with 1970s-era paneling and tile that homeowners want replaced with modern drywall. This affects board selection, moisture management, and finishing approach for below-grade spaces. Artista Drywall's experience in Marlborough means we anticipate these issues and plan accordingly, avoiding costly surprises during the project.
For mature neighborhoods like Marlborough, 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 Marlborough project is delivered to the finish level that matches the homeowner's vision.
Marlborough is one of Calgary's most affordable established neighborhoods, with a diverse population and a practical, no-frills character. Marlborough Mall and the surrounding commercial area along Memorial Drive provide essential shopping and services.

What We Offer
Supply and installation of drywall board for new construction and renovation projects in Marlborough. 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 Marlborough. Basement projects involve bulkhead framing around ductwork, moisture-resistant board in wet areas, and ceiling work that accounts for mechanical systems. In Marlborough, 7-foot basements with concrete block walls are standard; many have been finished with 1970s-era paneling and tile that homeowners want replaced with modern drywall, 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 Marlborough homes. Custom ceilings add architectural depth and visual interest, and they require precise framing and finishing to look clean and intentional.
