Our Bonnie Doon basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Bonnie Doon 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 Bonnie Doon 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.

Bonnie Doon drywall in context

Basement Drywall work we do in Bonnie Doon

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Bonnie Doon home

A significant number of Bonnie Doon 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 Bonnie Doon — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Bonnie Doon 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 Bonnie Doon?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Bonnie Doon homes

The cost of basement drywall in Bonnie Doon 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 Bonnie Doon basement gets measured in person and priced firm before the work begins.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Bonnie Doon

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

Basement drywall board types used in Bonnie Doon homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Bonnie Doon

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Bonnie Doon 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 Bonnie Doon home. Most interior basement partition walls in Bonnie Doon homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in Bonnie Doon

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

Why Bonnie Doon homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Bonnie Doon

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after.
