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

A significant number of Bulyea Heights homes from the 1960s and 1970s have basements that were never finished, or were finished to a rough standard.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Bulyea Heights?

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

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

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Bulyea 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 Bulyea Heights suite-to-upper-floor ceiling. STC-rated soundproof board belongs on every Bulyea Heights suite-to-main party wall. Exterior walls and damp-prone areas in your Bulyea Heights basement are boarded moisture-resistant. We settle this at the Bulyea Heights spec stage — not when inspection catches it.

Basement drywall board types used in Bulyea Heights homes

It handles lighter on site and finishes identically to the rest of your Bulyea Heights home. Most interior basement partition walls in Bulyea Heights homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Bulyea Heights homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier.
