Can you finish a basement that is partially started in Lee Ridge?

Lee Ridge homes from the late 1980s and 1990s frequently have partially finished basements — one room drywalled, the rest unfinished — and suite additions are common as homeowners look to offset carrying costs.

Basement drywall work we do in Lee Ridge

Finishing the unfinished basement that came with the Lee Ridge home

The most common basement drywall call in Lee Ridge is the homeowner who has been in the house for a few years and is finally ready to finish the basement the builder left as framed-and-open. We measure the space, assess the framing, spec the right board for each surface and board, tape and finish the entire basement to Level 4. Lee Ridge homeowners who wanted a home office, guest bedroom or recreation room get a space that is paint-ready and ready for flooring.

Secondary suite partitions and bedroom additions in Lee Ridge basements

A number of Lee Ridge homeowners are converting their unfinished basements to secondary suites or adding a legal bedroom to an existing basement layout. We board the partitions, tape all joints and corners to Level 4, and make sure the board spec is correct for each wall — moisture-resistant where required, fire-rated on the suite ceiling, soundproof on party walls.

Lee Ridge drywall in context

About Lee Ridge

Lee Ridge, named for Robert Lee (Mayor of Edmonton, 1909 - 1910), is one of the 27 neighbourhoods of Mill Woods.

What we see in Lee Ridge

In Lee Ridge the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

What affects the cost of basement drywall 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. Your Lee Ridge basement gets measured in person and priced firm before the work begins.

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.

Our Lee Ridge basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Lee Ridge is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. We spec moisture-resistant board wherever an Lee Ridge wall meets a bathroom or laundry. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. Before materials are ordered we map the whole Lee Ridge basement surface by surface — no inspection surprises.

Level 4 from board to sand

Then each seam, corner and fastener head is taped and mudded to Level 4 in three properly dried coats, sanded flat. Bulkheads, beams and posts are standard obstacles in an Lee Ridge basement ceiling. In Lee Ridge we finish those transitions to Level 4 — the same standard as every wall. When we leave the Lee Ridge basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.

Why Lee Ridge homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Lee Ridge

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after. We map every Lee Ridge basement before we price it and specify the right board in writing — moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the suite spec calls for it. We build Lee Ridge basements to pass inspection on the first visit, not the second.
