Basement drywall work we do in Lendrum Place

New basement development in Lendrum Place — framed at possession, finished now

Lendrum Place homeowners regularly finish their basements in the first two to five years after possession. The builder framed the space and rough-plumbed it — now it needs boarding, taping and finishing. We assess the framing, spec the right board for every surface and complete the basement to Level 4. When we leave, the space is paint-ready and ready for flooring, whether it becomes a home office, bedroom, recreation room or home theatre.

Legal suite boarding in Lendrum Place basements

With the Edmonton rental market, a number of Lendrum Place homeowners are building legal secondary suites in their unfinished basements. We board to the Edmonton spec: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling between the suite and the main floor, STC soundproof board on party walls, moisture-resistant in the bathroom, laundry and any exterior wall. Fixed price, inspection-ready boarding.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Lendrum Place?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Lendrum Place homes

The cost of basement drywall in Lendrum Place comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and mechanical chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated are different costs), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls need to accommodate. We measure your Lendrum Place basement in person and fix the price before anything starts.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Lendrum Place

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. The ceiling between an Lendrum Place suite and the floor above requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between the Lendrum Place suite and the main living space need STC-rated soundproof board. Every exterior wall and wet area in an Lendrum Place basement gets moisture-resistant board. In Lendrum Place we spec this before we board — not after the inspection flags it.

Basement drywall board types used in Lendrum Place homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Lendrum Place

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Lendrum Place basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Lendrum Place house. Most interior basement partition walls in Lendrum Place homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Lendrum Place homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Lendrum Place basement bathrooms and laundries. Lendrum Place legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between an Lendrum Place suite and the main living space benefit significantly from STC soundproof board — the difference is audible. We map each Lendrum Place surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product before we start.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing

Most drywall crews in Edmonton board everything the same way and leave the homeowner to sort out inspection issues later. We walk every basement before we price it and specify the right product for each surface in writing. Moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the spec calls for it. You will not be calling us back to redo board before a permit inspection.
