Do you take Rio Terrace basement finishing to Level 5?

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

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 Rio Terrace suites — and how they pass inspection.

Do you stand behind your basement drywall in Rio Terrace?

Yes. We walk the finished Rio Terrace basement with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Do you use moisture-resistant board on Rio Terrace basement walls?

Yes — on every exterior foundation wall, even with a vapour barrier, in your Rio Terrace basement.

Is basement drywall in Rio Terrace a fixed price?

Yes. 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.

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. For Rio Terrace interior partitions clear of moisture, standard 1/2” drywall is the right product. For legal suites, 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling and soundproof board on party walls. We specify before we start.

In Rio Terrace 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 Rio Terrace 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.

What a finished Rio Terrace basement costs, settled before we start
