Our Edmonton basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board selection before we start — right product for every surface

Basement drywall in Edmonton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Any wall touching a bathroom or laundry needs moisture-resistant. If there is a legal suite below or above, the ceiling and party walls need fire-rated. STC-rated soundproof board between the suite and the main living area reduces noise transmission significantly. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet — not after the inspector flags it.

Boarding, taping and mudding in Edmonton basements

Once the right board is on the right surfaces, every seam, inside corner, outside corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying time between each, sanded flat. Basement ceilings in Edmonton homes often have bulkheads for HVAC, beams and posts that need framing around them. We tape all of that to the same standard as the walls. When we leave, the basement looks the same quality from floor to ceiling.

Basement drywall board types used in Magrath Heights homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Magrath Heights

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

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

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

About Basement Drywall in Magrath Heights in Edmonton

Basement Drywall in Magrath Heights — what to expect

We provide basement drywall services in Magrath Heights and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. Magrath Heights is one of Whitemud’s oldest communities, with homes from the 1960s and 1970s. Renovation drywall, stipple and popcorn ceiling removal and crack repair are among the most common drywall calls from this established Whitemud area.

Fixed price — assessed on site in Magrath Heights

We assess the job on site, confirm the scope and give you a fixed price before we start. The number does not change after we begin unless the scope changes and we agree on it first.

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 Whitemud new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Magrath Heights 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.
