Can you finish a basement that is partially started in Fraser?

Yes, and we do it regularly. We assess what is already there — whether the board type is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether anything needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish the Fraser basement properly. An Fraser basement gets its issues corrected first — not hidden behind new board.

Do you do legal suite basement drywall in Fraser?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Fraser requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC-rated soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in wet areas. Boarding to spec is why Fraser suites we finish clear inspection.

How long does basement drywall take in a Fraser home?

Expect two to four Fraser boarding days plus two to three finishing days — drying time between mud coats is non-negotiable. The extra partitions and rated board of a Fraser suite conversion stretch the timeline. Honest scheduling in Fraser: the quoted timeline is the real one.

Will my Fraser basement walls get moisture-resistant board?

Yes — on every exterior foundation wall, even with a vapour barrier, in your Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont basement.

Do you stand behind your basement drywall in Fraser?

Yes. We walk the finished Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont basement with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Can you board a legal suite basement?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls go in to the City of Edmonton suite spec, alongside the rest of your Fraser basement.
