Our Carlton basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Carlton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Walls beside a bathroom or laundry in an Carlton basement call for moisture-resistant board. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. Mapping first in Carlton: 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. Carlton 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 Carlton walls. When we leave the Carlton basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.
