Does the Glengarry basement spec include moisture-resistant board?

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

Do you do legal suite basement drywall in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. Edmonton legal suites require 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 between the suite and the main living space. That spec is how we board Glengarry suites — and how they pass inspection.

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 Glengarry basement.

Do you serve Glengarry on weekends?

Yes — we cover Glengarry and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

How do you handle texture matching after basement drywall work in Glengarry?

Texture matching is part of every repair and patch job we do in Glengarry. Whether the surrounding surface is knockdown, smooth or an older pattern, we match it so the repair is not visible under paint.

How long does basement drywall take in an Glengarry home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Glengarry are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes in Edmonton

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 Glengarry 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 Glengarry 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.

Common basement drywall situations in Glengarry in Edmonton

In Glengarry, glengarry sits in Edmonton's Northwest district. Glengarry is a diverse mix of commercial, residential, institutional and recreational land uses. Across roughly 1,195 homes here, the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We cover Glengarry and the surrounding Northwest district, 7 days a week. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Edmonton 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 Northwest new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Albany, Athlone, Baranow bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Glengarry 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.
