Basement drywall and finishing in Albany, Athlone, Baranow, done to spec

We finish basements in Kensington homes — boarding the framing, specifying the right board type for each surface, taping and mudding every joint and corner to Level 4, and leaving the space paint-ready. Kensington is one of Northwest’s newest communities — most homes are less than ten years old with framed, unfinished basements that homeowners are now ready to develop. We cover Kensington, Ambleton, Albany, Athlone, Baranow and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Basement drywall work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in Northwest — Albany, Athlone, Baranow — 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. We board, tape and finish these Edmonton basements start to finish, with the right board spec on every surface, and leave them ready for flooring and paint.

Basement conversions and suite additions in established Edmonton neighbourhoods

In established Northwest — Albany, Athlone, Baranow — the most common basement drywall call is a conversion or suite addition. The basement has old drywall or no drywall, low ceilings, exposed mechanical and an awkward layout. We have done enough of these to know how to frame around the obstacles, spec the right board and leave a basement that looks intentional rather than improvised.

Basement drywall board types used in Kensington homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Kensington

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Kensington 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 Kensington basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in Kensington homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Kensington homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. For bathrooms and laundry in Kensington, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. Code puts 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on every Kensington suite ceiling. The Kensington suite-to-main party wall is where STC soundproof board earns its cost — you can hear the difference. The Kensington quote includes a surface-by-surface map with the correct product specified up front.
