About Basement Drywall in Royal Gardens in Edmonton

Basement Drywall in Royal Gardens — what to expect

We provide basement drywall services in Royal Gardens and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. Royal Gardens is one of Whitemud’s oldest communities, with homes from the 1960s and 1970s. Renovation drywall, stipple and popcorn ceiling removal and crack repair are among the most common drywall calls from this established Whitemud area.

Fixed price — assessed on site in Royal Gardens

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 unless the scope changes and we agree on it first.

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 Whitemud new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Royal Gardens 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.
