Can you finish a basement that is partially started in Fulton Place?

Yes, and we do it regularly.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Edmonton?

Linear footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Edmonton basements

The cost of basement drywall in Edmonton comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant or soundproof cost differently), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls have to work around. A simple open basement in a 2010s Southeast new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Fulton Place first; the fixed price follows before we lift a sheet.

Legal suite requirements and Edmonton basement drywall specs

A legal secondary suite in Edmonton has specific drywall requirements — 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling between the suite and the floor above, and STC-rated soundproof board on suite walls. Moisture-resistant board is required in bathrooms, laundry and any wall with exterior exposure. We know the Edmonton spec and we board to it — you will not need to call us back to add board before an inspection.

Fulton Place drywall in context

About Fulton Place

Named for the creek which runs through the ravine on its west boundary, Fulton Place lies east of the downtown core and developed in the 1950s.

What we see in Fulton Place

In Fulton Place the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Our Fulton Place basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Fulton Place is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. We spec moisture-resistant board wherever a Fulton Place wall meets a bathroom or laundry. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. Before materials are ordered we map the whole Fulton Place basement surface by surface — no inspection surprises.

Level 4 from board to sand

Then each seam, corner and fastener head is taped and mudded to Level 4 in three properly dried coats, sanded flat. Bulkheads, beams and posts are standard obstacles in a Fulton Place basement ceiling. In Fulton Place we finish those transitions to Level 4 — the same standard as every wall. When we leave the Fulton Place basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.
