Basement drywall and finishing in Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill, done to spec

We finish basements in Steinhauer homes — boarding the framing, specifying the right board type for each surface, taping and mudding every joint and corner to Level 4, and leaving the space paint-ready. Steinhauer homes from the late 1980s and 1990s frequently have partially finished basements — one room drywalled, the rest unfinished — and suite additions are common as homeowners look to offset carrying costs. We cover Steinhauer, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Basement Drywall work we do in Steinhauer in Edmonton

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

A significant number of Steinhauer 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 Steinhauer — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Steinhauer 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.

Steinhauer drywall in context

About Steinhauer

The neighbourhood is named for Henry Bird Steinhauer, a missionary who settled in Alberta during the mid-1800s (and from whom the family of the former Lieutenant Governor takes its name).

What we see in Steinhauer

In Steinhauer 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 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 Steinhauer 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.

What a finished Steinhauer basement costs, settled before we start

One number, given on site

What that price includes, and where we work

Every joint taped to Level 4, every texture matched precisely, and the surface left paint-ready when we leave. We cover Steinhauer, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and surrounding communities, with free on-site quotes and a same-day reply, 7 days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . '.

Basement drywall board types used in Steinhauer homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Steinhauer

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Steinhauer basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. In Steinhauer basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in Steinhauer homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Steinhauer homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. For bathrooms and laundry in Steinhauer, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. Code puts 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on every Steinhauer suite ceiling. The Steinhauer suite-to-main party wall is where STC soundproof board earns its cost — you can hear the difference. The Steinhauer quote includes a surface-by-surface map with the correct product specified up front.
