Basement drywall in Summerside boarded, taped and finished right

We finish basements in Summerside 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. Summerside 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 Summerside, Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Basement drywall work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in Ellerslie — Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie — 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 Ellerslie — Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie — 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 Ellerslie new build is different from a basement in a 1970s Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie bungalow with low ceilings and exposed beams. On-site measurement in Summerside 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.
