Do you take Aldergrove basement finishing to Level 5?

Where the paint spec calls for it, yes — most basements finish well at Level 4, and we tell you honestly which your Aldergrove project needs.

What type of drywall do you use for exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

Moisture-resistant (green board or purple board) on all walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry. For Aldergrove interior partitions clear of moisture, standard 1/2” drywall is the right product. For legal suites, 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling and soundproof board on party walls. We specify before we start.

Is basement drywall in Aldergrove a fixed price?

Yes. We assess the job on site, confirm the scope and give you a fixed price before we start. The number does not change after we begin.

Can you finish a basement that is partially started in Aldergrove?

Yes, and we do it regularly. We assess what is already there — whether the board type is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether anything needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish the Aldergrove basement properly. An Aldergrove basement gets its issues corrected first — not hidden behind new board.

Can you board a basement that was partially started?

All the time. We assess what is already there — whether the board choice is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether any board needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish it properly. Boarding over issues is not how we work in Aldergrove.

How do you handle texture matching after basement drywall work in Aldergrove?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Aldergrove. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls away from moisture

Standard 1/2” drywall is fine for interior basement walls that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating rooms inside the basement, partition walls for a home office, bedroom or recreation room. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Aldergrove house. Most interior basement walls in Edmonton homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant and fire-rated board — where it matters

Exterior foundation walls — the ones against the concrete — need moisture-resistant board, even with a vapour barrier behind the framing. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Aldergrove basement bathrooms and laundries. If you are converting an older Edmonton bungalow basement to a legal suite, the ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Soundproof board for party walls between the suite and the rest of the house is worth doing right if you want the suite to be liveable and rentable.

Legal suites and basement development in Aldergrove

Straight development

Most basement calls in Aldergrove are straightforward development — rec room, bedrooms, bathroom — boarded and finished to a clean Level 4.

Legal suite conversions

When an Aldergrove basement is becoming a legal suite, we add the fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls the City of Edmonton spec requires. See Legal Suite Drywall Edmonton.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Aldergrove in Edmonton?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Aldergrove depends on the square footage, the board spec (moisture-resistant on exterior walls, fire-rated and soundproof if there is a suite), and the finish level. We price off the layout and a site look.

Basement development in Aldergrove

Basement development is a steady call here, and we put the right board where the plan and code require it.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Edmonton in Edmonton?

Linear footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Edmonton basements

The cost of basement drywall in Edmonton comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant or soundproof cost differently), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls have to work around. A simple open basement in a 2010s West Edmonton new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Belmead, Callingwood North, Callingwood South bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Aldergrove first; the fixed price follows before we lift a sheet.

Legal suite requirements and Edmonton basement drywall specs

A legal secondary suite in Edmonton has specific drywall requirements — 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling between the suite and the floor above, and STC-rated soundproof board on suite walls. Moisture-resistant board is required in bathrooms, laundry and any wall with exterior exposure. We know the Edmonton spec and we board to it — you will not need to call us back to add board before an inspection.
