Our Edmonton basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board selection before we start — right product for every surface

Basement drywall in Edmonton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Any wall touching a bathroom or laundry needs moisture-resistant. If there is a legal suite below or above, the ceiling and party walls need fire-rated. STC-rated soundproof board between the suite and the main living area reduces noise transmission significantly. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet — not after the inspector flags it.

Boarding, taping and mudding in Edmonton basements

Once the right board is on the right surfaces, every seam, inside corner, outside corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying time between each, sanded flat. Basement ceilings in Edmonton homes often have bulkheads for HVAC, beams and posts that need framing around them. We tape all of that to the same standard as the walls. When we leave, the basement looks the same quality from floor to ceiling.

Basement drywall board types used in CPR Irvine homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in CPR Irvine

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an CPR Irvine basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. In CPR Irvine basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in CPR Irvine homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in CPR Irvine

Exterior foundation walls in CPR Irvine homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. For bathrooms and laundry in CPR Irvine, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. Code puts 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on every CPR Irvine suite ceiling. The CPR Irvine suite-to-main party wall is where STC soundproof board earns its cost — you can hear the difference. The CPR Irvine quote includes a surface-by-surface map with the correct product specified up front.

What a finished CPR Irvine basement costs, settled before we start

One number, given on site

Basements are where quotes drift, because nobody counts the bulkheads, the cold room or the mechanical wall until they are standing in front of them. We give CPR Irvine homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote, and the number does not change.

What that price includes, and where we work

Every joint taped to Level 4, every texture matched precisely, and the surface left paint-ready when we leave. We cover CPR Irvine, Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and surrounding communities, with free on-site quotes and a same-day reply, 7 days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . '.

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s CPR Irvine home

A significant number of CPR Irvine 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 CPR Irvine — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in CPR Irvine 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.
