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

Do you cover all of Edmonton for basement drywall?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Henderson Estates home

A significant number of Henderson Estates 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.

Secondary suite conversions in Henderson Estates 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.
