Basement drywall board types used in Daly Grove homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Daly Grove

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Daly Grove basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Daly Grove house. Most interior basement partition walls in Daly Grove homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in Daly Grove

Basement Drywall work we do in Daly Grove

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Daly Grove home

A significant number of Daly Grove 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 Daly Grove — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Daly Grove 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 Daly Grove?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Daly Grove homes

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

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Daly Grove

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