Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes in Fort Saskatchewan

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. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Fort Saskatchewan house. 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. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Fort Saskatchewan basement bathrooms and laundries. 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.

Basement Drywall work we do in Fort Saskatchewan

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Fort Saskatchewan home

A significant number of Fort Saskatchewan 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 Fort Saskatchewan — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Fort Saskatchewan 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 a finished Fort Saskatchewan 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 Fort Saskatchewan 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 Fort Saskatchewan, Edmonton and surrounding communities, with free on-site quotes and a same-day reply, 7 days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . '.

Our Fort Saskatchewan 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.

The finish stage

In Edmonton we tape, build mud coats with real drying time, sand flat to Level 4 or 5 and verify under light before handing off for paint.
