Do you do legal suite basement drywall in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. Edmonton legal suites require 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 between the suite and the main living space. That spec is how we board Queen Mary Park suites — and how they pass inspection.

Where the paint spec calls for it, yes — most basements finish well at Level 4, and we tell you honestly which your Queen Mary Park project needs.

What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Queen Mary Park?

In Queen Mary Park basements, foundation-adjacent walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board (green or purple).

Each Queen Mary Park surface has its product chosen at quote time, before the job begins.

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.
