Our Ellerslie Edmonton basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Ellerslie Edmonton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Bathroom- and laundry-adjacent walls in Ellerslie Edmonton basements are always moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. We walk the Ellerslie Edmonton basement and map every surface before speccing materials — so the order matches the job and inspection brings no surprises.

Boarding, taping and mudding to Level 4 throughout

With the right board on the right surfaces, every seam, corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying, sanded flat. The typical Ellerslie Edmonton basement ceiling works around ductwork bulkheads, beam wraps and support posts. Every bulkhead and wrap in your Ellerslie Edmonton basement is taped to the same Level 4 finish as the flat walls. When we leave the Ellerslie Edmonton basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.
