Basement drywall and finishing in Sweet Grass, done to spec

We finish basements in Sweet Grass 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. Sweet Grass 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 Sweet Grass, Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and the surrounding area, 7 days a week.

Our Edmonton basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board selection before we start — right product for every surface

Basement drywall in Edmonton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Any wall touching a bathroom or laundry needs moisture-resistant. If there is a legal suite below or above, the ceiling and party walls need fire-rated. STC-rated soundproof board between the suite and the main living area reduces noise transmission significantly. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet — not after the inspector flags it.

Boarding, taping and mudding in Edmonton basements

Once the right board is on the right surfaces, every seam, inside corner, outside corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying time between each, sanded flat. Basement ceilings in Edmonton homes often have bulkheads for HVAC, beams and posts that need framing around them. We tape all of that to the same standard as the walls. When we leave, the basement looks the same quality from floor to ceiling.

The neighbourhood is named in honour of the Cree Indian Chief Sweet Grass who was one of the early west's first conservationists and instrumental in the protection of the Plains Bison.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Sweet Grass in Edmonton?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Sweet Grass depends on the square footage, the board spec (moisture-resistant on exterior walls, fire-rated and soundproof if there is a suite), and the finish level. We price off the layout and a site look.

Basement development in Sweet Grass

Basement development is a steady call here, and we put the right board where the plan and code require it.

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.
