Do you do legal suite basement drywall in South Terwillegar?

A legal secondary suite in South Terwillegar 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. Boarding to spec is why South Terwillegar suites we finish clear inspection.

Can you board a legal suite basement?

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

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in Whitemud — Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill — is the new development: framing was included at possession, the homeowner wants to finish the space, and they want it done properly to Level 4. We board, tape and finish these Edmonton basements start to finish, with the right board spec on every surface, and leave them ready for flooring and paint.

Basement conversions and suite additions in established Edmonton neighbourhoods

In established Whitemud — Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill — the most common basement drywall call is a conversion or suite addition. The basement has old drywall or no drywall, low ceilings, exposed mechanical and an awkward layout. We have done enough of these to know how to frame around the obstacles, spec the right board and leave a basement that looks intentional rather than improvised.

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 South Terwillegar 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.
