How long does basement drywall take in an Tweddle Place home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Tweddle Place are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

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 Tweddle Place basement.

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 Tweddle Place suites — and how they pass inspection.

What type of drywall do you use for exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

Moisture-resistant (green board or purple board) on all walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry. For Tweddle Place interior partitions clear of moisture, standard 1/2” drywall is the right product. For legal suites, 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling and soundproof board on party walls. We specify before we start.

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.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Tweddle Place in Edmonton?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Tweddle Place 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 Tweddle Place

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