Richfield drywall in context

About Richfield

Part of Mill Woods, Richfield was developed in the 1970s in a system of pleasantly curving streets and cul-de-sacs.

What we see in Richfield

In Richfield the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Richfield?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Richfield homes

The cost of basement drywall in Richfield 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 Richfield basement in person and fix the price before anything starts.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Richfield

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

Basement drywall board types used in Richfield homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Richfield

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Richfield 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 Richfield house. Most interior basement partition walls in Richfield homes use standard board.

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

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

Our Richfield basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Richfield 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.

Tape, mud and finish

We tape the Richfield basement, apply mud coats with full drying time, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5, checking under light before the paint hand-off.

Basement Drywall work we do in Richfield

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Richfield home

A significant number of Richfield homes from the 1960s and 1970s have basements that were never finished, or were finished to a rough standard. We assess the framing, check for moisture, spec the right board for each surface and board, tape and mud the entire space to Level 4. We leave the basement paint-ready so the homeowner can move straight to flooring and paint.

Legal suite conversions in Richfield — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Richfield homes from the 1960s and 1970s are one of the most common basement drywall calls we handle. The conversion requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling between the suite and the floor above, soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant board in any bathroom or laundry area. We board to the Edmonton spec and the suite passes inspection without a callback.
