Can an Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill basement be finished at Level 5?

Where the paint spec calls for it, yes — most basements finish well at Level 4, and we tell you honestly which your Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill project needs.

Can you board a legal suite basement?

Yes — City of Edmonton suite spec throughout: fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls, integrated with the whole Ogilvie Ridge basement job.

Do you do legal suite basement drywall in Ogilvie Ridge?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Ogilvie Ridge requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC-rated soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in wet areas. The Ogilvie Ridge suite gets boarded to that exact spec, and inspection follows.

How long does basement drywall take in an Ogilvie Ridge home?

A typical open Ogilvie Ridge basement takes two to four days to board and another two to three to tape, mud and finish — mud needs its drying time. Converting an Ogilvie Ridge basement to a suite extends the schedule with added walls and spec materials. We give Ogilvie Ridge homeowners a realistic timeline at the on-site quote, not an optimistic one.

Our Ogilvie Ridge basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Ogilvie Ridge is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Walls beside a bathroom or laundry in an Ogilvie Ridge basement call for moisture-resistant board. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. We walk the Ogilvie Ridge basement and map every surface before speccing materials — so the order matches the job and inspection brings no surprises.

Boarding, taping and mudding to Level 4 throughout

With the right board on the right surfaces, every seam, corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying, sanded flat. Ogilvie Ridge basement ceilings usually carry bulkheads, beam wraps and posts that the boarding has to negotiate. All of it gets taped to the same Level 4 standard we hold on Ogilvie Ridge walls. When we leave the Ogilvie Ridge basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.

Basement drywall work we do in Ogilvie Ridge

Finishing the unfinished basement that came with the Ogilvie Ridge home

The most common basement drywall call in Ogilvie 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. Ogilvie 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 Ogilvie Ridge basements

A number of Ogilvie 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.

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 Whitemud new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. Your Ogilvie 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.

Legal suites and basement development in Ogilvie Ridge

Straight development

Most basement calls in Ogilvie Ridge are straightforward development — rec room, bedrooms, bathroom — boarded and finished to a clean Level 4.

Legal suite conversions

When an Ogilvie Ridge basement is becoming a legal suite, we add the fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls the City of Edmonton spec requires. See Legal Suite Drywall Edmonton.
