Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing

Most drywall crews in Edmonton board everything the same way and leave the homeowner to sort out inspection issues later. We walk every basement before we price it and specify the right product for each surface in writing. Moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the spec calls for it. You will not be calling us back to redo board before a permit inspection.

Basement Drywall work we do in Beacon Heights

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Beacon Heights home

A significant number of Beacon Heights 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 Beacon Heights — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Beacon Heights 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.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Beacon Heights?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Beacon Heights homes

The cost of basement drywall in Beacon Heights comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and mechanical chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated are different costs), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls need to accommodate. Your Beacon Heights basement gets measured in person and priced firm before the work begins.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Beacon Heights

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. 5/8” Type X fire-rated board is mandatory on the Beacon Heights suite-to-upper-floor ceiling. STC-rated soundproof board belongs on every Beacon Heights suite-to-main party wall. Exterior walls and damp-prone areas in your Beacon Heights basement are boarded moisture-resistant. We settle this at the Beacon Heights spec stage — not when inspection catches it.

Basement drywall board types used in Beacon Heights homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Beacon Heights

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Beacon Heights basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. It handles lighter on site and finishes identically to the rest of your Beacon Heights home. Most interior basement partition walls in Beacon Heights homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in Beacon Heights

Exterior foundation walls in Beacon Heights homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Beacon Heights basement bathrooms and laundry rooms take moisture-resistant board wall-to-wall. In Beacon Heights, suite ceilings take 5/8” Type X fire-rated board — no substitutes. Install STC soundproof board on the Beacon Heights party wall and the quiet is immediately noticeable. Surface mapping and product specification happen at the Beacon Heights quote — before anything starts.
