Basement drywall work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in Scona — Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine — is the new development: framing was included at possession, the homeowner wants to finish the space, and they want it done properly to Level 4. We board, tape and finish these Edmonton basements start to finish, with the right board spec on every surface, and leave them ready for flooring and paint.

Basement conversions and suite additions in established Edmonton neighbourhoods

In established Scona — Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine — the most common basement drywall call is a conversion or suite addition. The basement has old drywall or no drywall, low ceilings, exposed mechanical and an awkward layout. We have done enough of these to know how to frame around the obstacles, spec the right board and leave a basement that looks intentional rather than improvised.

Legal suites and basement development in Allendale

Straight development

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

Every joint taped to Level 4, every texture matched precisely, and the surface left paint-ready when we leave. We cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia, CPR Irvine and surrounding communities, with free on-site quotes and a same-day reply, 7 days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . '.

Basement Drywall work we do in Allendale in Edmonton

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Allendale home

A significant number of Allendale homes from the 1960s and 1970s have basements that were never finished, or were finished to a rough standard. We assess the framing, check for moisture, spec the right board for each surface and board, tape and mud the entire space to Level 4. We leave the basement paint-ready so the homeowner can move straight to flooring and paint.

Legal suite conversions in Allendale — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Allendale homes from the 1960s and 1970s are one of the most common basement drywall calls we handle. The conversion requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling between the suite and the floor above, soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant board in any bathroom or laundry area. We board to the Edmonton spec and the suite passes inspection without a callback.
