Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Hodgson

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Hodgson basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. In Hodgson basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in Hodgson homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in Hodgson

Basement drywall work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in Whitemud — Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill — is the new development: framing was included at possession, the homeowner wants to finish the space, and they want it done properly to Level 4.

Basement conversions and suite additions in established Edmonton neighbourhoods

In established Whitemud — Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill — the most common basement drywall call is a conversion or suite addition.
