Basement drywall work we do in Tweddle Place

Completing a partial basement finish in Tweddle Place

Tweddle Place homes from the late 1980s and 1990s frequently have partially finished basements — one room drywalled, one room not, or board up but never taped. We assess what is there, confirm the board choice is correct for each surface, and complete the finish to Level 4 throughout. The result is a consistent basement that reads as one space rather than a project half done.

Legal suite additions in Tweddle Place — suite separation boarding

Homeowners in Tweddle Place adding a legal secondary suite to a mid-era basement need the right board on every surface: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the suite ceiling, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in wet areas. We specify before we board, and we board to the Edmonton secondary suite standard — so the inspection passes and the suite is actually liveable.

About Tweddle Place

Tweedle Place was named in honour of Malcolm Tweddle, a former City Commissioner.

What we see in Tweddle Place

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Tweddle Place?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Tweddle Place homes

The cost of basement drywall in Tweddle Place comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and mechanical chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated are different costs), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls need to accommodate. On-site measurement in Tweddle Place first; the fixed price follows before we lift a sheet.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Tweddle Place

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. The ceiling between an Tweddle Place suite and the floor above requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between the Tweddle Place suite and the main living space need STC-rated soundproof board. We put moisture-resistant board on all Tweddle Place exterior walls plus bathrooms and laundry. In Tweddle Place we spec this before we board — not after the inspection flags it.

Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls away from moisture

Standard 1/2” drywall is fine for interior basement walls that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating rooms inside the basement, partition walls for a home office, bedroom or recreation room. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Tweddle Place house. Most interior basement walls in Edmonton homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant and fire-rated board — where it matters

Exterior foundation walls — the ones against the concrete — need moisture-resistant board, even with a vapour barrier behind the framing. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Tweddle Place basement bathrooms and laundries. If you are converting an older Edmonton bungalow basement to a legal suite, the ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Soundproof board for party walls between the suite and the rest of the house is worth doing right if you want the suite to be liveable and rentable.

Why Tweddle Place homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Tweddle Place

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after. We map every Tweddle Place basement before we price it and specify the right board in writing — moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the suite spec calls for it. We build Tweddle Place basements to pass inspection on the first visit, not the second.
