Can you board a legal suite basement?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls go in to the City of Edmonton suite spec, alongside the rest of your Summerlea basement.

Do you finish Summerlea basements 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 Summerlea 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 Summerlea suites — and how they pass inspection.

Do you stand behind your basement drywall in Summerlea?

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

How long does basement drywall take in a Summerlea home?

Expect two to four Summerlea boarding days plus two to three finishing days — drying time between mud coats is non-negotiable. The extra partitions and rated board of a Summerlea suite conversion stretch the timeline. Honest scheduling in Summerlea: the quoted timeline is the real one.

Is moisture-resistant board standard in Summerlea basements?

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