Basement Drywall work we do in Edmonton

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Edmonton home

A significant number of Edmonton 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 Edmonton — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Edmonton 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 Edmonton?

Linear footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Edmonton basements

The cost of basement drywall in Edmonton comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant or soundproof cost differently), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls have to work around. A simple open basement in a 2010s Edmonton new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Abbottsfield, Albany, Alberta Avenue, Aldergrove, Allard, Allendale bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Edmonton first; the fixed price follows before we lift a sheet.

Legal suite requirements and Edmonton basement drywall specs

A legal secondary suite in Edmonton has specific drywall requirements — 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling between the suite and the floor above, and STC-rated soundproof board on suite walls. Moisture-resistant board is required in bathrooms, laundry and any wall with exterior exposure. We know the Edmonton spec and we board to it — you will not need to call us back to add board before an inspection.

Basement drywall board types used in Edmonton homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Edmonton

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Edmonton 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 Edmonton basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in Edmonton homes use standard board.

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

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

Our Edmonton basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Edmonton 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 Edmonton 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.

What a finished Edmonton 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 Edmonton 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 Edmonton, Abbottsfield, Albany, Alberta Avenue, Aldergrove, Allard, Allendale and surrounding communities, with free on-site quotes and a same-day reply, 7 days a week.
