Do you cover all of Edmonton for basement drywall?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

What type of drywall do you use for exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

Moisture-resistant (green board or purple board) on all walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry.

We specify before we start.

Our McQueen basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board to spec

In Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood we board ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall and fire-rated or soundproof board where a suite is involved.

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 Jasper Place new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in McQueen 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.
