Basement Drywall Athlone Edmonton | Basement Dev

Basement drywall boarded, taped and finished right the first time

We finish basements in Athlone homes — boarding the framing, specifying the right board type for each surface, taping and mudding every joint and corner to Level 4, and leaving the space paint-ready. Athlone homes from the 2000s and 2010s are larger, higher-end Northwest homes where basement development is expected to match the finish quality of the main floors. We cover Athlone, Albany, Baranow, Baturyn and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Athlone drywall in context

About Athlone

Named in honour of the Earl of Athlone, Canada's Governor-General from 1940-46, Athlone is located north of the Canadian National Rail line.

What we see in Athlone

In Athlone the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

What a finished Athlone basement costs, settled before we start

One number, given on site

Basements are where quotes drift, because nobody counts the bulkheads, the cold room or the mechanical wall until they are standing in front of them. We give Athlone homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote, and the number does not change.

What that price includes, and where we work

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

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 Athlone 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 Athlone 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.

Our Athlone basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board to spec

In Athlone we board ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall and fire-rated or soundproof board where a suite is involved.

Tape, mud and finish

We tape the Athlone basement, apply mud coats with full drying time, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5, checking under light before the paint hand-off.
