Our Evergreen basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Evergreen 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 through finish

Taped, mudded coat by dried coat, sanded to flat Level 4 or 5 and checked under light — the Evergreen basement leaves paint-ready.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Evergreen?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Evergreen homes

The cost of basement drywall in Evergreen 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. We measure your Evergreen basement in person and fix the price before anything starts.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Evergreen

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. The Evergreen suite ceiling assembly runs 5/8” Type X fire-rated board by requirement. In Evergreen, suite party walls take STC-rated soundproof board. Every exterior wall and wet area in an Evergreen basement gets moisture-resistant board. Before board goes up in Evergreen, this is specified — not retrofitted post-inspection.

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Evergreen

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Evergreen basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. It handles lighter on site and finishes identically to the rest of your Evergreen home. Most interior basement partition walls in Evergreen homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Evergreen homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Evergreen basement bathrooms and laundry rooms take moisture-resistant board wall-to-wall. Evergreen legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between an Evergreen suite and the main living space benefit significantly from STC soundproof board — the difference is audible. We map each Evergreen surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product before we start.

Why Evergreen homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Evergreen

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after. We map every Evergreen basement before we price it and specify the right board in writing — moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the suite spec calls for it. When the Evergreen permit inspector walks it, the board spec is already correct.

Standard drywall — interior basement walls away from moisture

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

Moisture-resistant and fire-rated board — where it matters

Exterior foundation walls — the ones against the concrete — need moisture-resistant board, even with a vapour barrier behind the framing. For bathrooms and laundry in Evergreen, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. If you are converting an older Edmonton bungalow basement to a legal suite, the ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Soundproof board for party walls between the suite and the rest of the house is worth doing right if you want the suite to be liveable and rentable.
