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.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Ellerslie Edmonton?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Ellerslie Edmonton depends on the square footage, the board spec (moisture-resistant on exterior walls, fire-rated and soundproof if there is a suite), and the finish level. We price off the layout and a site look.
