Basement drywall work we do across Edmonton

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in Scona — Allendale, Argyll, 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 — Allendale, Argyll, 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.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Belgravia?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Belgravia 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.

Our Belgravia basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Belgravia is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Walls beside a bathroom or laundry in an Belgravia basement call for moisture-resistant board. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. Mapping first in Belgravia: every surface assessed before the spec, so the material order is exact and inspection is clean.

Taped and mudded to Level 4 throughout

Seams, corners and fastener heads all reach Level 4 — three coats, real drying time, flat sand. Belgravia basement ceilings usually carry bulkheads, beam wraps and posts that the boarding has to negotiate. All of it gets taped to the same Level 4 standard we hold on Belgravia walls. When we leave the Belgravia basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.
