Where the paint spec calls for it, yes — most basements finish well at Level 4, and we tell you honestly which your Hillview project needs.

How long does basement drywall take in an Hillview home?

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

Do you do legal suite basement drywall in Hillview?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Hillview 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 Hillview suites we finish clear inspection.

Can you board a basement that was partially started?

All the time. We assess what is already there — whether the board choice is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether any board needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish it properly. Boarding over issues is not how we work in Hillview.

Is moisture-resistant board standard in Hillview basements?

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

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 Hillview 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 Hillview 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.

Our Hillview basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board to spec

In Hillview 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.

Tape, mud and finish

We tape the Hillview basement, apply mud coats with full drying time, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5, checking under light before the paint hand-off.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Hillview in Edmonton?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove depends on the square footage, the board spec (moisture-resistant on exterior walls, fire-rated and soundproof if there is a suite), and the finish level. We price off the layout and a site look.

Basement development in Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove

Basement development is a steady call here, and we put the right board where the plan and code require it.

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 Mill Woods and Meadows new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Hillview 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.
